E3 08, Ninty's definitive/deciding event in this console war?

What MS/Sony developed titles can compete with Nintendo's own lineup of SMG/Zelda/MK:Wii/WiiFit/etc...

Let me clarify my statement: Its future lineup. They already used all of their biggest franchise. They will need a strong E3 showing to compete with MS and Sony.

Disclaimer: And yes they would even outsell Ps3 and 360 if they only release Wii Fishing and Wii watch grass growing. I am not disputing that

Impossible to compare lineups before E3, as we simply don't know what the companies will release.

Based on potential though, I see the lineup as this:

360 > PS3 (can be discussed, but IMO anyway the 360 lineup is a lot better than the holiday PS3 lineup)

The Wii should have the most diverse lineup, and the best year of 3rd-party Wii support. If Nintendo announce for Xmas this year:

 - Pikmin

 - Animal Crossing MMO

 - Kid Icarus

 - WiiMusic

 - WiiMotorSports (WiiWare title)

 - StarFox

 - Mario Party 9 (this is the first year without a new MP title, for the last 9 years...).

I'd be pretty happy. Add to this Red Steel II, The Conduit, various WiiFit titles (etc).

...

And as I said on the previous page, your analysis of which of their franchise titles have been "used up" is incorrect. The ONLY big ones "used" are Mario Kart, Brawl & Metroid - and they could use Metroid again, except with "poor sales" why would they? There almost certainly will be another 3D Mario title this generation.
