I refuse to only count 'quality/main' titles, because quality is too subjective and 'main' means that one could easily discount a game like Spyborgs, which a Capcom representative has said is one of the two biggest games that Capcom USA is making. The only fair metric is number of games announced; e3 isn't exactly known for being a huge announcement platform for shovelware, so it's not like Conspiracy Entertainment (or whoever) will be announcing games there. If you don't think that the PS3/360 will get more games than the Wii, just say so. If you do, put your (metaphorical) money where your mouth is. Personally, I think that in terms of overall games, it will be Wii by a landslide, and in terms of 'major franchises', i expect Wii to be at most 3 announced titles behind the combined PS3/360. Would you be willing to do a double bet? Avatar if Wii is within 3 'major franchises' announcements, sig for 'total games'? |
I agreed with him that the Wii isn't getting the majority of third party releases, especialy if the word quality is used, which can be judged by metacritic. How about you just quote me in your sig if I'm wrong? I don't care to change your avatar or sig or whatever. I said quality titles don't make for a good bet, so we agree there. Btw, not every publisher will even be at E3. Activision and Lucas Arts for 2. I don't know why you think shovelware isn't shown off at E3, though. The booths are huge and lots of games are shown. Regardless, feel free to quote me as saying I don't think the Wii will have more third party games announced for it than the other 2 systems.
