Personally, I'd say the differences are pretty much spot on; maybe not when you compare every aspect of their respective tech side by side, but the end result.  Nintendo's hardware is a full generation behind with less resolution in both cases.

It's not really about what forum dwellers want than what is considered a top-tier game. For example, the 3DS gets RE:R. That's top tier. Compare that to the Wii, which got Monster Hunter Tri (which is fantastic). But how much more of that happened, on the market leader's platform, not much. It's not a surprise, we really do know why, and HW is a factor, but there is so much more (and we've gone over it already you must remember).

There was not a conspiracy, but a movement of Nintendo-doubt last gen, it's incontestable. Market Leader, gets no gamez. But, having said that, there were reasons, and times have thankfully changed or at least seem to change for now.

People asking for Skyrim on Wii can't make up their minds. We're talking about top-tier effort you and I right, not necessarily next-gen requiring titles. The point is top-tier, not Skyrim.

You know what I mean.

I have owned, PS3, WIi, PSP and DS for years. And i can see how some games would work on a certain system but not work on others. ISpec charts does a good job of that as well

Thankfully.

oh yeah, Capcom was foul for that. You'll get no arguments from me on that. Skipping the Wii and giving a RE:R to 3DS instead is shady.  Another thing is that Ninty and third parties really werent working with each other when it came to WII. It has to be a two way street, whether they are market leaders or not. 

I just mentioned Skyrim because it is one of the games that I have seen requested. What was a top tier game?? What game would have Wii only owners want that they would consider top tier. Because IMHO, as soon as a gen starts and the more powerful hardware comes out top tier kind of changes

im sure its the opposite or at the very least they are close

Oh, yeah don't get me wrong Skyrim is top-tier. I just, what I meant was a game that is not necessarily Skyrim but that is top-tier and makes the Wii shine. It could even be TES, but just not Skyrim that kind of thing didn't work for the Wii.

Like what I'm trying to say is a game with depth and one that was made with the big minds of a 3rd party to yield a gem of a game, graphics or advanced processing aside. A Wii gem (like MH).

Yeah that makes sense, kind of like a GTA for Wii just running on the engince from PS2 games?? Thats all well and good  but would most people consider that top tier anyway?? What i mean is that a game like that released on WIi could be good but I dont think most people would consider that top tier, not when you have the GTA4 and 5s on the other systems blowing it  away.   Would you consider MH top tier still if there were a PS360 version that was doing what the Wii version did but much more? Im not trying to be difficult but I know there are people who think like that. I mean look at CODs they are considered top tier on the HDs but not on WII?? 

Nintendo needs to be saved? From what?

From localization of great games? From dominating chartz in selling home console and handheld? From never doing the same thing?

Please stop posting what this guy says.

DSphone all depends on how much truth there is to the phone/tab eating the handheld console market claim. If it turns out to be a real threat then I think consoles that are also phones will be a necessary counter to phones that are  trying to be consoles.

I thought the Blackberry's OS was pretty solid, if it's a PoS then really Android is the only option. I don't see Ninty doing it's own smartphone OS. Good thing about Android being open source is that Ninty can DS-ify the crap out of it.
