Can the Wii continue to dominate?

It's strange, because while the Wii has less "good" games, it has several great games that I have actually purchased, while the PS3 has none.

I own a PS3 and a Wii, and while pointing to gamerankings is a common PS3 talking point, when it comes down to the facts, you're selling the consumer that the PS3 has better games than the Wii because of average metacritic scores, that's simply not the case.


The games for the Wii that are great, appeal to virtually everyone, like Galaxy, Zelda, RE4, Brawl, everyone who owns a Wii, at least.

The "good" games on the PS3 certainly don't appeal to everyone, because very few of them appeal to me. In fact, the only reason I've played my PS3 at all, is to justify its purchase. I've never been one for spelunking games, but I bought Uncharted. Never woulda done that on my Wii or PS2.

One of the best "good" games on the PS3 is MLB:08 The Show. Now, it counts towards your list, but man I would never buy a baseball game.

Now, another major flaw in your theory is that those sites don't include "exclusives" which are all important to a library. What if the 360 had GTAIV as an exclusive, how much would that help its library, compared to it just having another AAA multiplat?


Here are my thoughts. I bet that there are no exclusive PS3 games with a 90 or above average on gamerankings. That means, the PS3 has no AAA exclusive games, if its true. Check me on that.

Now, that's the real issue with PS3 sales, imo. If you wanna call that cherrypicking, that's fine. Just know if what I say is cherrypicking, then so that oh so common Sony talking point, the TC revisited. Only this time instead of 80 percent and up, it's for some reason dropped to 75. Must've been easier to contrast against the Dreamcast.


@KoW, the DS, imo, has probably the second greatest library of all time, for a video game console, and I'm not alone. Most people who own one will tell you that the library is as diverse and extensive as you could ever hope to expect on a handheld.
