1) I agree with that mostly EXCEPT, it is fewer games not less. And just because that is how it is now, doesn't mean it is going to stay like that. Somebody could come up with a CoD popular game for the Wii, Mario won't be king for ever

2) Well possibly, but I think the 3rd parties should have enough confidence in their own games to compete, they definitely can't JUST rely on themselves to make all the games for the Wii

If if someone happened to make a game/series that had CoD-like popularity for a Nintendo console, it wouldn't outsell a 2D mario game on it. Look at CoD's single platform sales VS mario's single platform sales (around 10mil VS over 20mil)

It would take something much much bigger than CoD for that

But I do agree that having 3rd party support is better than not having it (who in their right mind would argue otherwise??) and there are massively successful 3rd party games out there

No, why look at CoD's single platform sales? That makes no sense, and remember, CoD games have sold about 20m for the last 4 years

No, they haven't, and why are you guys even discussing Mario vs. COD?

A big third party game

And the exact numbers aren't the point, though it is about 16m, 15m, 22m, 24m and couting
