@ infamous23  Three of the most violent games this generation are Manhunt 2, No More Heroes, and Madworld.  Would you agree or disagree with this statement? 


Don't let facts interfere with a fanboy speech.

Oh, I would agree that they are three of the most violent games of this gen.  But I would also say that the number of such games is dwarfed on Wii by the number of E rated fare like the Wii series games and their clones and the Nintendo made mini-game collections and their clones.

So are you saying that the problem is not that there isn't any mature games, but not enough of them?  Do you need the three Bs (blood, beasts, and boobs) in all of the games that you play?  Do you play strip Monopoly or have to get an electric shock every time that you lose a checker? 

     No, but the fact is the PS2 was the best console of its time because it had the most well-rounded lineup of any console and as a result has 530 games rated in the 75 to 100 range at Metacritic.  The PC is the only gaming machine with more high quality titles and that is because it has been around a much longer time than PS2.

So far, as far as games in the 75 to 100 range on Metacritic go, the Wii is dead last this gen by a significant margin.

And, I think that by continuing to send out E rated mini game collections like Mario Sports Jam and continuing to hype Wii series games like Wii Party, then they demonstrate that they don't really have an interest in the Wii being a be all end all console for the traditional gamer like the Playstation 2 was.
