wait wha? how the heck can wii have the biggest range of games if you are not comparing it to other consoles? that just not compute

and in comparison it lacks BIG time in many genre...it leads in platformers tho..but others? ps360 are leagues ahead in most cases..actually I will say in almost all of them

Nah, I'm not talking about quantity, more just HAVING a game in their. 

I don't follow 360 much, but it doesn't have much other than FPS' which are easy to see. Maybe PS3 has more, but that's MY opinion, which interest me and me only.

IMO, PS3>Wii>360, but that's my opinion. Wii has more Platformers, party, on-rails shooters and strategy it would seem. But PS3 otherwise.

again you're just changing your tune now.... the hd consoles have way way more variety in most of the genre out there than the wii..easily too. quantity AND quality wise.

i disagree about 360 too, true it has a lot of great FPS and it might not match up to ps3 in diversity of things but even that has more diversity than the wii..not just in shooters.

and on-rail shooters? really? that's something to be proud about? who in their right minds want a on rails vs a normal shooter.

not sure about strategy...not a genre I'm familiar with so can't answer that..platformers and party games? for sure

In your mind, it appears to be a complete and total failure, destined to end up in the dustbin of industry and totally forgotten.  Do you really need to post here to try to get others to confirm the opinions you believe to be true?  If you fail to see the relevance of motion control, and what the Wii has done, then where is there going to be any ground to be able to discuss the relevance of the Wii to videogames?

At WORST the Wii is like the home Pong units that put videogames into the home, or something else that blazed the way other things (like the Model-T).  The Wii also put an end to the belief that you had to ALWAYS do a jump in graphics.  There was a need to address the control issues with videogames and motion controls have helped to prevent this from appearing on the videogame horizon:

In short, motion control is a key part of the future of videogames, and providing a more natural interface for people is essential also.  If people don't buy a Wii in the future, it is because what the Wii does is done by more recent consoles, and better.  But, without the Wii, you would still face the path of having more and more complicated controllers being introduced, and the belief it is graphics horsepower increases that needed to be the answer, as opposed to a completely different feature set.  Myself, I will still look to keep my Wii.

My take is gamers like games, and what does the form of the controller matter?  I happen to do stuff with the Wii I don't do elsewhere.

Strategy you have Fire Emblem, Batallion Wars and Pikmin from Nintendo alone. And Little King's Story right off the bat. Dunno about others, I don't delve into it that much, but I KNOW there's more. Dunno about the HD consoles really.

I played Super Paper Mario on it.  It did come out.  It mixed platforming with RPG action, but it still came out.

your using metacritic to rate games?  how ironic. if you go by metacritic the 360 and ps3's lineup destroy the one of the wii. and yet you say they are on par.

also comparing 360/ps3 games to wii games using meta isnt right because they are rated by diffrent standerds, same thing for the wii/ps2 games comparision.

well thats the story with nintendos home consoles, they rely too heavily on first party games.  to me, its a gamers console, but not a hardcore gamers console if you catch my drift.  its good for the casual to adept gamer.  it lacks many adult oriented games, which make it hard for older fans to be serious about the system.  thats why i sold my wii, it has good casual games, but i got bored with it.

Hey! You forgot Monster Hunter Tri, it's like one of the best games ever. >_<

You also forgot Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn from the strategy section.

Edited. Thanks.
