Naw, nintendo didn't gain that many overly estatic fans that will buy anything Nintendo because of the Wii. They will sell more than the Game Cube but that doesn't mean the hardest of the hard nintendo fans increased much. It just means they are doing a better job of attracting the people that don't have loyalty

I agree, if anything they have lost fans because of the Wii. At least for me Nintendo has gone from tied for first console choice to secondary console only for first party games, and that was all because of the Wii. I haven't even got the Wii U yet, not sure if it is worth it right now. All this was because they wanted to be the latest fad product, rather than keep the base happy.

I don't agree with you there. I was a fan of Nintendo before, became even more of a fan after Wii's release(till 2010, tough), which was the only last-gen console that actually gave me new game experiences and offered more game variety than FPSs, TPSs or other generic shooters PS3 and 360 mostly received. It's one of the worst Nintendo consoles though, but, comparing it to the PS3 and 360 certainly helped it in my personal view. My only problem with the Wii was with how Nintendo managed the console. After 2010, arguably the best year software-wise for the Wii, Nintendo completely stopped supporting it(causing third-parties to do the same) and left the console without 2 or 3 noteworthy game releases for 2 years. Even though I find the Wii to be the best console this generation, Nintendo managed it like s***, which is one of the reasons I'm wary of buying the Wii U(the other one being the fact that I don't have money to buy one).

Really? When I look at Metacritic I see 14 Wii games with 90+ compared to 45 for PS3. And out of that 14 we have 2 Zelda, 2 Mario, 2 Metroid, and 2 Rock Band. Not exactly a huge variety of quality games, unless I am missing something?
