whats crazy to me, is games like this on Wii usually get bad reviews. So is the tech really that good??? probably, with good reviews and good sales. Ninty AND Sony are in a bit of trouble.

What good reviews are you looking at? I see mostly poor to decent at best reviews, with the exception of Dance Central and Kinect Sports. I see a lot of afterthought third party Wii-esque games that wouldn't sell on the Wii, let alone the Xbox 360.

MS is falling for the casual fallacy with this addon and they may be the ones in a bit of trouble if they really think this thing will be what carries the 360 forward.

This is extremely hypocritical coming from a Wii fan.  These scores are right in line with typical scores Wii games get.

Of the Wii launch titles only 3 have a metacritic over 80:

Trauma Center:Second Opinion - 80

Madden 07 - 81

and Legend of Zelda : Twilight Princess - 95.  However it was actually originally developed for the Game Cube.

Wii Sports has a metacritic of 76.

The Kinect games are getting very decent reviews. 

Did you just compre the Wii lineup to the KINECT launch lineup? BAHAHAHAHA

Yes.  Which Wii launch titles stood out to you?  Besides Zelda which was Game Cube port.

Oh ok, the Wii LAUNCH titles, I guess that makes a little more sense. Still an unfair comparison though. The Wii launch lineup at least had Nintendo's games. Kinect has a bunch of third party Wii knockoffs.

Wii Sports was a quality multiplayer title, I don't care what anyone says. If it wasn't great, it wouldn't be the most successful game of the modern era, and everyone wouldn't be trying to copy it. I also think Trauma Center, Excite Bike, Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, and SMB: BB were great games for launch titles.


2 things, most of the big launch titles are from Microsoft, they're not 3rd party, however there is a lot of shovelware coming from 3rd parties, I'll admit.  However the same was true for the Wii and most of the shovelware is due to the short turn around time from when dev kits were sent out.

Second Wii Sports is the most successful games (I assume you mean sales here) because it came packed with almost every Wii sold.

I traded in my Wii as part of getting Kinect and I don't regret it at all.  Kinect Sports gives me everything Wii Sports did and more.  I find it a better game all around.
