Im winning GGE! Im playing the best games ive ever played (excepting Goldeneye and Zelda OoT. I have a Wii and 360 and competition is forcing massive investment in new ideas and boundary pushing in story-telling and gameplay.

Alot of us are telling outselves that we're winning. Ps3 fanboys are telling themselves they're winning. Wii fanboys are telling themselves they're winning. 360 fanboys are telling themselves they're winning.

I see no new Ideas outside of the Wii's motion controls, just refinements to old ideas and sequels to the same old games. The only real massive investment this generation being made is the one being made in graphics. Aside from Graphics and online capabilities, there's nothing these games are doing this generation that weren't done the last.

And @ Zenfolder

We've been hearing crap like that since the Wii wowed the world with its success but as of late the biggest third party titles are else where. And the promised support from third party developers has been little more than awkward attempts at trying to figure out what the Wii demographic wants instead of the games we want that they're giving everyone else.

Guitar Hero? We already have it. Spider-Man? Because that's a great game franchise to have. Transformers? Is that a joke? Shrek? Oh boy Shrek! Movie Games are the best! Call of Duty? We didn't Get 4 and 3 was a joke. Tony Hawk? Oh boy, who care about DMC4, RE5 or COD4, we're getting Tony Hawk.

Yeah, however, my point is, Rock Band and Call of Duty 5 are two games that the Wii would not have gotten, had it been less popular.

 

There is a big difference between having competitive 3rd party support, and "showing no signs of improvement."

 

Not having GTA is not having competitive 3rd party support.

 

Having the top execs at all the major publishing houses come out and say, "Hey, the Wii is selling great, we're gonna start porting more games too it than we ever have to a Nintendo system, including all our 08 shovelware, Guitar Hero IV, CoD 5, and RockBand" is definately a sign of improvement.

 

I'm not trying to argue with you here, but whatever we've heard in the past, Vast Hardware and Software sales, CoD 5, press statements from EA, Activision, Nintendo-haters Ubisoft, and Rock Band certainly are signs that 3rd party support of the Wii could be improving in the near future, there is no arguing that point.

 

It's not a big deal, either way, but I was just saying, you might have over-reached a bit in your examples of all the systems faults. Overembelleshed a little, to make your point clearly. I saw what you did, and pulled an asshole move by pointing it out, cus I'm a nintendo fantard. I'll be quite from here on in, lol.
