damage control how? if you're going debunk somethign have something to back it up. Thats what i did. Still wanna blame stuff on 3rd parties I see.  No one is blaming Nintendo of anything. The fact is the article ignores 3rd party, which is strange becasue 3rd party makes up 90% of the Wii's library.

Fact is that the Wii gained more new core gamers with first party games than it lost due to the absence of third parties. So what point are you trying to make?

How so? THey sold more games than they did GC, Ninty at least, but they also sold a hell of alot more consoles so that was just natural.  And if thats true why didnt the sales translate to good 3rd party sales, and no you cant say their was an absence, they made a few games. And why did the games that did come to the system, especially multiplat ones, sell worst on Wii? They got more new NINTENDO fans, NINTY=/= core.  i guess we just have a very different idea of what "core" is.

See, that's damage control. Bending and redefining terms to support an argument.

The reason for bad third party software sales are bad third party games. But feel free to explain why you bought dozens of third party games for your Wii.

Thats not damgae control, thats just you ignoring the term "core" what is a core game? what is a casual one? Answer the question. Hell i didnt even give you a defintion.

I actually did buy quite a few 3rd party games for my Wii, more than i bought 1st party. Bit.Trip complete, GE007, Grand slam tennis, KOF Collection, Lost in Shadow, Rayman Origins, Bully SE, Sonic Colors and Unleashed, SW FU1, Muramasa, Red Steel 2, HOTD2&3 and OVerkill. Thats just off the top of my head, I bought them cause they were...good.(Unleashed, notwithstanding). 

"bad" third party games = "bad" sales. fair enough, there are games that i would consider bad that sold well and vice versa, but whatever. There were alot of games that sold real well, but you might not consider them core.  However how does that prove me wrong? If the system is getting bad support; whose at fault is irrelevant, wouldnt they go get a system with good support? Or do you believe most people are like some on this forum and will just stew about evil companies while others enjoy actual games? No, no they wont gamers will go where the games are at, regardless of what it says on the book, doesnt mean they gave up on WIi. If they wanna play RE, BIoshock, SF, Tekken, Skyrim, and so on. They cant do that on a WIi console. THat doesnt mean WIi is bad
