Since you are constantly changing the topic it is difficult to prove you wrong, but I'll compile a list here with all the weak arguments you have:

1. Reviewers tastes are not everything. A lot of the Wii's million sellers have arguably been too low scored because they are not epic single-player games but funny multiplayer party games. Fact is, they are doing right what they want to, they have no flaws like other 70 % rated games. They just represent a different way of gaming.

2. Very few people are buying consoles because of games that are about to come out. Most people except a few hardcore gamers are waiting for the game they want until they buy a console.

3. You were constantly saying that the 360 AND the PS3 have more good games than the Wii although you proved yourself wrong on that before. The PS3 may has more "good" games than the Wii in percents out of their million sellers, but in absolute numbers, Wii is clearly better even after your standards for good games. I don't think you can argue that the important thing is the absolute number of good games and not the relative one, because why should I bother if there are a lot of bad games when there are still more good games than there are on other consoles?
That the 360 has more is easily explained by its one year head start. If sales trends continue like this, The Wii will even catch up the 360 in terms of good games by your standards and in absolute numbers.

4. You said that the Wii will be the first console that has not the best games out of a generation but wins it. You clearly show your bias here because this generation just has started, how can you know which console will have the best games at the end?

That's all I can think of right now, just tell me if I forgot to disprove an argument of you.

^^^ Couldn't say it better...

I'd like to add that i'm tired of people judging games by their own tastes only: games are supposed to be for everybody, and so it's normal some games will bring joy and fun to an 9 year old boy, or a 60 year old granny...

Not all games in this world are supposed to be hardcore online FPS stuff made for some 15/25 years old nerds... it's just ONE kind of games, but it's also not automatically the best of them all: some people still have more fun playing Tetris than some "blasé" hardcore players with their copycats games...

You're not in the head of these other person's playing, you have absolutely no right to call all these games "shitty" just because they don't meet your expectations, your own very limited tastes...

Sometimes, i play all alone, but i also play very often with my kids and my partner these days, and i'm glad Wii and DS are there to bring some great fun in my family... it doesn't mean i'll buy a crappy game, but i'll buy good "family oriented" or "casual/puzzle" games and enjoy them (nearly) just the same as my beloved action/adventure or rpg's...

The elitist way of thinking of some hardcore players/fanboys, their narrow-minded opinions and their pretention are boring, and stupid... let people enjoy the games they like, and enjoy yours without insulting the "casual crowd"... or in other words, to each his own...
