You know, it's funny. People always make fun of the Wii and say it doesn't have any highly rated games, and then whenever it does get high rated games, they say it doesn't deserve it. It's ridiculous. |
Yep, you nailed it.. Wii can never do anything right in the eyes of some people.
My take on the backlash on Galaxy 2's great scores by some people is that they have this precieved notion that Wii is supposed to be the console with inferior games to the precious HD consoles. It's one of the few things they have left to diss the Wii on, now that it's proven to have the most hardware sales, most software sales, most and best exclusives, best price, motion controls, which the competitors are now immitating, even the best 3rd party sales. The apparent lack of AAA core games is one of the last bastions they have to hold against the Wii, and now that something is occuring to disrupt that preconcieved notion, they don't know how to handle it, so they lash out.
This obviously doesn't fit the mold for everyone, as some people just simply don't agree with the reviews, which is understandable. But this is the only way I can see to explain the irrational HATRED and anger for the reviews coming from some people.

Best exclusives? No. That has not been remotely proven. The console has the weakest lineup of good games of almost any winning console if anything. And it would be nice to see megatons aisde from the usual suspects once in a while. It guarantees Ninty will always have good games on their consoles and it's why most people on this site have a Wii, but new great ip's would be great every now and then. And for alot of us, the Wii series doesn't cut it.
And just because it has the lowest price doesn't mean it has the highest value. Why would anyone aspire to make higher tech machinery if that was the case? Once the PS3 gets move the only thing the platform will lack is Ninty's experitse in software.

Notice I said best EXCLUSIVES, not best library. The HD consoles both have great games, probably moreso than the Wii, but they sort of take value from eachother in a sense by having the majority of their great games on both consoles. I think most can reasonably agree that in terms of EXCLUSIVES, the Wii shines best.
Maybe to you it's not the best value, but somehow I think a console with Wii Sports and Sports Resort, and a controller w/ motion plus, for $200, is a pretty damn good dea, and I think many people feel the same way...
When PS3 gets the Move, it'll lack more than just Nintendo's games. It'll also lack the context in which motion controlled games are used. Which is, reaching out and making new types of gaming experiences for new (and ex) gaming audiences. I don't see Sony doing this with the Move. All I see is cheap cash in "casual" titles and tacked on motion control for already existing core games, which is why the Move will fail. Pointing to motion controls for the root of Wii's success is largely missing the point of its success.
Your post is full of pretty weak arguments and generally minority viewpoints against the Wii, which to me further proves my last post :P
