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?

I didn't play Metacritic when I had a Wii, and most of my Wii games aren't even from Nintendo. Final Fantasy Fables(and also Crystal Chronicles), Madworld, Monster Hunter 3, Goldeneye 007, Muramasa, Lost in Shadow, Arc Rise Fantasia, Sonic Colors, Boom Blox, Another Code R, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, and a few other gamers that I won't list here made the Wii my favourite console of this generation. Also, it received a lot of PS2 multiplats, which, IMO, surpass most PS3/360 multiplats Wii could have got. DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and 3, Baroque, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core, Silent Hill Shattered Memories and a few other great games, all developed for PS2 and Wii.

You are absolutely entitled to your opinion, but for me Wii was when Nintendo consoles because good for pretty much only Nintendo games. I am only using Metacritic to try and gauge fan perception of a console by seeing how many "great" 90+ games come out. Gamecube->Wii goes 26->14 and PS2->PS3 goes 58->45. That is a far bigger drop off for Nintendo, and there are still games coming out for the PS3. This is why Nintendo has moved to second for me.

And I'm not sure how getting PS2 multiplats is a good thing? Is it good that the Wii U is getting old PS360 games years late?
