Agree 110%. Will the Wii have more 3rd party titles available than PS3 or 360? Yes, however the OP was ambiguously worded as "better." In my opinion quality trumps quantity, and the higher quality 3rd party games are all on PS3 and 360. That's not going to change


Ah, but you can't paint in broad strokes and still be considered correct, or in opinionated terms "valid."

 

I think some people get offended when I say their opinion is not valid. However, what I mean is, "Your opinion has a very small chance of being correct."

 

Now, if I said "The PS3 has no games." My opinion would be invalid(and very childish in its presentation.)

 

If you say "higher quality 3rd party games are all on the PS3 and 360" your opinion would be invalid, because certainly in the Wii's lifetime even thus far it has seen some "higher quality" 3rd party games, or even just one, however, just one makes your absolutely stated opinion provably incorrect.

 

Instead you should say that most AAA 3rd party titles will end up on the 360 and PS3.

 

The devil is in the details, and sometimes how you word your opinion changes it from absolutely incorrect, to perfectly plausable, with all due respect.

 

In other words, I fully respect your opinion, but I think it has been proven wrong with releases of games like RE4, Okami, Bully, Guitar Hero 3, Rock Band, and Zack and Wiki. 


RE4 (Port)

Okami (Port)

Gutar Hero 3 (no DLC) 

Rockband (gimped,is coming very late compare to the other versions)

Zack and Wiki (low budget game,sold badly)

 I could go on with the list,but I'm not a troll and this is just my opinion, it makes me angry when people try to make the Wii third party line up good.I am sure it will improve post-E3 but for now is poor ,saying than the wii has good third party games is like saying than the psp library is better than the DS(You see I don't hate nintendo,I own a DS).

 


Actually, one could argue that the PSP library is better, but that's even more subjective. Judging from metacritic/gamerankings, I'd say it's not much worse. Anyway, I agree with the rest of what you said. Bully is also a port. I think Z&W is overrated and isn't the best adventure game, but I know I'm in the minority on that one. No More Heroes is a great game but I believe the developer is frustrated by the sales and will put the next game on a different system. I'll join the minority of those here that believe the Wii will not have the best third party support, both from a ratings and sales standpoint. Keep in mind all multiplatform games on 360 and PS3 have a much larger userbase than the Wii, and that won't change.
