You know good well that maybe 2 of them are worth a damn the other 20 something can go kick rocks. and FYI didnt like Wii Sports too much, got a bit boring after a while. Maybe I should give Wii a pass I keep forgetting who it was made for |
First off, I wasn't calling you an elitist gamer; with that said, I also don't think you understood my point ...
Even though I think it is appropriate to call Nintendo a very innovative company, they did not invent most of the genres they have seen success with recently; and in many cases you can find similar games that were not nearly as successful being released on many platforms. Why Nintendo has been successful where so many other companies have failed is because they have brought accessibility and polish to genres which have typically been ignored; and these qualities tend to be overlooked by reviewers and core-gamers when they assess the quality of these games. If you actually sit down and play the games that have been highly successful on the Wii and compare them to very similar games that have been ignored you will see a massive difference in quality; and many of these poor selling videogames have broken gameplay mechanics and are simply not fun, but these differences in quality tend to get ignored and all these titles are grouped together.
I'm not claiming you have to like these titles, but claiming that people will flock to Kinect titles because they enjoyed similar games on the Wii is kind of like claiming The Conduit would sell well because Halo sold well on the XBox 360.
