You literally just complained about me using ports and RPGs from previous consoles. Then respond with this?

You keep changing your own rules in every post, so I don't see how you expect me to take you seriously.

1) surely you can see the differnce? When your stacking the wii library with old snes/mega drive games? vs DS games.
2) I never changed any rules, I said from the start that the 3DS because it can also play DS games, is a much stronger game catalog than the wii's.

DS was right before the 3DS....... while the SNES/Mega drive are how many gens behinde the Wii ? or our current gens?

When you have to pad your list to prove a point with games that are 25-30 years old, you lost the argument.
For some reason you dont like the idea of the 3DS haveing a better games catalog for RPGs than the Wii, dispite it being that way.

Is this a joke? You just made a list padded with ports of remakes of games from the SNES (and NES) that are 25-30 years old.

Basically, what you are trying to argue is that old games count toward the 3DS library, somehow we're supposed to imagine they don't exist in the Wii library. 
If we're arguing what the best library of games are, and including catalogue and ports, then that must remain consistent across both consoles - all games are relevant. There's no reason to ignore facts, consistency, and reality.

It sounds more like your goal isn't actually understanding why the 3DS sold as little as it did.
You seem mostly concerned about trying to win an argument on the Internet.

But here's the reality:
* Wii sold 30 million units more than the 3DS, despite not being supported as long.
* Wii sold 650,000,000 more software units than the 3DS, over three times the volume.
* Wii is Nintendo's highest revenue generating platform of all time.
* Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 (and no the 3DS doesn't have "a ton" of games of that quality) are two of the top 5 most critically acclaimed games of all time.
* Even without Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Wii's software library has received substantially more critical praise than the 3DS - despite the handicap of having a lot of software that critics generally aren't fond of.

I like the 3DS, I'm actually primarily a handheld gamer, but the reality is that 3DS is far from Nintendo's best jaunt; and it doesn't have the all-time best library you claim it does. It's clear the Wii outclasses it.
