I also disagree that the Wii had a larger percentage of shovelware than NES, GBA, or Gameboy for certain, and maybe even DS.

I'm not sure about the consoles mentioned, but I'm pretty sure the percentage of shovelware on Wii is around the same as the percentage of shovelware on PS2.


I cannot take this seriously. PS2 development yielded many great PS2 games which harnessed the Dual Shock (Which really isnt a stretch when N64 analog changed the way we game on a gamerpad). The majority of third party titles on the Wii were commercial failures, to the point where people had to question whether devs were having a hard time with the tech or they just didn't care about anything but to make a quick buck. They treated the gimmick commercialization as a cheap whore essentially.

This isn't an an editorial, but this response presents a good example of what I am trying to say... (See the first response after reading the question)
