If you want to talk about cheery-picking, saying the Wii has good third party support when it doesn't have the largest selling 3rd party seems hilariously absurd...

Also the "mature" argument was actually part of my original list of points, and that list helped to show that ;)

Having good third party support and having the biggest third party games have nothing to do with one another.

Also your original post said nothing about "mature" and even if it did, the list of games he showed had a handful of T & M rated games.

"With regards to trends, while Nintendo might be dipping it's toes into the waters of mobile gaming, their IPs remain largely unchanged for the last 30 years!! Gaming has dramatically changed and is considered more mature today, yet Nintendo still have a heavy focus on IPs that are considered childish."

So you're saying "good" third party support doesn't mean it has to have the important 3rd party titles?? How is that by any definition "good"??

By third party, I was talking about cross-platform titles (hence the list being titles like CoD, Fifa and BF). When you take away the exclusives, it's a very limited list, not to mention a lot of the exclusives fall into the "not mature" category, whereas it's been clear since the days of the PS2 and Xbox that gaming was moving away from cartoon-esque characters. 

Beyond that, that list doesn't include a lot of the largest selling 3rd party titles e.g. GTA V, so it's a list that clearly doesn't appeal to gamers at large.

Mate this is one of the silliest arguments I've ever seen anyone attempt to put forward I'm sorry to say, you claimed that the wasn't any good support on the system when in fact the platform had solid support now you're trying to tell people only a select type of games count. Even if we look at cross platform titles the are numerous that are on Wii and the mature part of your argument is one of the saddest attempts at dismissing a library I've seen made even more silly by the fact that a significant number of exclusives are M rated like Madworld, Manhunt, NMH and so on.

Solid support...yet doesn't have any of the important 3rd party titles...How is that "solid"? Having a load of crap is by no way "solid support". It's not a "sad attempt", unless you are going to say that gaming hasn't changed in the last 20 years. Don't be patronising just because you're point has been proven to be awful. Games like Halo, Half-Life 2, Mass Effect and The Witcher have all shown the importance of more mature gameplay and story telling, yet Nintendo has yet to catchup to this - they still think churning out the same game after 30 years will be a success, and yet the sales show that's no longer true.
