But that's a ridiculous standard for a statement like "____ is having a software drought".  A similar statement would be like me saying "the Wii has no worthwhile games" because none of the games fit my tastes.  If I go into a thread and say that I know for a fact that every Ninty fan will give me big lists of every game they can think of to prove I'm wrong, I'm just doing the same thing here.  "HD Consoles have a drought in Q2 just like the Wii does", I call BS on that statement based on the list of games I just put up just like someone arguing against "The Wii has no games".  Now if you want to say "HD consoles have no games I want in Q2" that's fine, but "HD consoles have no games in Q2" is a different statement that I will argue against.

I don't know how you can think that the Wii, which only has two notable games to your recollection in Q2 can be in the same situation as the HD consoles.  

After April which had Mortal Kombat and Portal 2 the notable games in Q2 that will release on HD consoles are: L.A. Noire, Witcher 2, and Brink in May as well as Infamous 2, Alice: Madness Returns, and El Shaddai in June.  That's 6 notable games on HD consoles (I even cut a lot out like Fear 3 and Hunted: The Demon's Forge) in those two months compared to one controller tie in game on Wii.  The situations are not nearly the same.  You can say "well it only has ____ games if you're saying a platform has a drought it shouldn't be dependent on your taste in games but just how many notable games in general are releasing on the platform, and in that measure the HD consoles are completely different from the Wii in Q2.

As far I can see, I can only see people saying similar to myself in that there's not much of personal interest (whilst acknowledging at the same time for someone out there this quarter could be the best quarter they've ever had), which has been spun into '____ has no gamezzz' full stop.

"I mean, how many games are there coming out for the HD consoles in May onwards? I can count but a few...they'll be a drought for all consoles. "

is what I was responding to.  are we all just going to ignore that statement and just assume I was making a sweeping generalization to the thread in general?

@Maxwell: no contradiction.  I never said that the 3DS had no games, I said it didn't have anything I want.  Two different statement.

You totally missed the entire point of my post which was, you're calling a "drought" a numbers thing, as it couldn't be subjective, but to you there isn't anything on the 3DS you want which is essentially no games for you to buy, IE a "drought", which is quite common with launch libraries.  It's just like how people get around saying _______ console has no games *troll face* by saying __________ console has no games for me *troll face, and do it at every opportunity*, one statement is factual and quantitive the other is subjective, but a drought is defined by the fact there isn't any games you want to buy as every console has games coming out, if we're wanting to get literal here.

Well then Conegamer can say there's a drought of HD games for all time since his taste in games apparently requires that it be made by or at least be similar to games made by Nintendo.  Huzzah, we've turned another word into something meaningless that can be said at every oppurtunity because it's an assumed opinion of the observer.  

If I say that a console has no games that's precisely what I mean, just like when I say a console has no games for me.  Drought can be defined to you as no games you want to buy, but to me it's about notable releases regardless of your desire to purchase them.  Guess we'll just have to agree to disagree and I'll let this thread get back to it's original topic.
