The Wii is doing a gr8 job in making gamers and non-gamers attracted to the machine! it offers a new kind of interactivity that hasn;t been witnessed in video game history! (other than the ds stylus.) this is what i see on the wii! the wii is releasing crappy games to fill in the time when games there is a game drought. Then, the Wii unleashes beasts out of the gate during gr8 times! (think about if nintendo unleashed smg in july 07? it would sell bad compared to being released in november were it sold excellent!) ps2 released crappy games to fill in the empty void when there was a major game drought. (something that permenately stayed with gamecube and xbox most of their life.) then when the time was good, which was the holidays, ps2 unleased ratchet, jak, gta, and other monsters that it was known for. PS3 is also doing this, which is good! The 360 is unleashing it's titles to fast! bioshock and mass effect could have waited till this year so hype could build. microsoft wanted to have such a big lineup in 2007 they rushed imo!

your thoughts?

Here are my thoughts:

 That's where I stopped reading.  If you want my thoughts put some actual effort into your post.

Sorry daactualfact, but that is just too hard to read.

Try rereading it, spell out words (after all you are on a keyboard not a cell phone), and most importantly use your 'enter' key.

My opinion based solely on the subject header.

Yes, it is. The same plan that all generation leaders follow. A ton of games where about 40% are really good and the rest are playable at best.

guys, i had revised it so it is easier to read. (sorry about that.)

it is not following the PS2
because it is not the PS2

Even during the first year, the Wii sell mostly to casual.
Even SMG, the 2nd best game of all time was not able to move the system since the system is moving by itself because of the hype behind the product, and the innovation behind the Wiimote.
People by SMG because it is on Wii, not because it is SMG.
For them it is just another Mario based game

The PS2 succeed to sell primarly to hardcore and, only later, to casual.
MGS2/DMC/GT3/ were great system seller.
It is only later that game like buzz, singstar, GH have reached the PS2 and continued to push the hardware higher.

Wii : primary target : Casual + Nintendo fan
All others consoles : Hardcore + Sony fan and later Casual

The Wii is selling like hot cake because it is cheap and because it is very well fited to the casual crowd
(Wii hardware sales rised in Japan because of Wiifit, not because of SMG)

My thoughts are that publishers and developers are just scrambling to get as many games out on Wii as possible, a fast as possible, regardless of quality, because frankly, they sell. They're not doing it to fill a void or anything. :p They are not cooperating on some higher, elaborate plan to make the Wii's lineup of games as streamlined and diverse as possible. :p Haha. Sure, they do plan when to get their games out, of course, but it's not like developers are now all of a sudden like 'Oh wait, they are really great games coming out then and then, let's release crap now!' :p 

And, erm, yeah. I do suppose it would have been a grand idea for Microsoft to not have released Mass Effect and Bioschock last year. Come to think of it, I really wish Nintendo delay SSB Brawl 'till 2009, and Mario Kart too. And they definitely shouldn't release a Pikmin, Animal Crossing, F-Zero or Starfox 'till 2010 or 2011. And here's hoping MGS4, DMC4 and GTA4 won't be released 'till 2012. That would be so smart and economically beneficial! 

"""that's your opinion. i have no problem with that. but you have to understand that it didn't sell to only casuals! gh3 is not a casual game. re4 is not casual, re:uc is not casual, galaxy is somewhat casual but mostly hardcore!"""

==>
RE4 : not casual
GH3 : casual/hardcore
RE : UC : BS casual game
SMG : casual/hardcore

none of these game is moving the hardware, people just buy them because they are on the Wii.

"""this year will be the same! it is selling more than ps2 at this point in it's life! which is good, but it will also attract new gamers. you will be surprised my friend!"""

==> I believe the same, it will sell very well
Wiifit (non gamers = extreme casual) will push the hardware sell even higher
Again the casual are making all the job ...
