Competing in the genre means nothing, if the game is financially viable then it doesn't matter how much more it would sell on the 360, it still doesn't mean not release it on Wii. By the way can we stop trolling the Wii, it truly shows the immaturity of HD gamers. You all may think 360 and ps3 games are fantastic but we all don't feel the same. They are mediocre at best in my honest to god opinion but that's just me and many other Nintendo fans. Why can't you guys just be happy with your consoles and stop trolling the Wii at every opportunity.

pretty much, yeah. Its not like Move is drowning in those kinds of games anyway, but Kinect has way too many of those IMHO

You are a disappointment for making a thread like this (As a gamer and those who agree). You guys have become annoying with these kinds of comparison.

Sorry I can't quote on my phone, but anyways no sorry your wrong those games shouldn't be abandoned just because they wouldn't sell as much on the 360, it adds variety which increases the sells for the platform, that's why the Wii needs shooting games. It adds to the Wii's variety but anyways the point is each console has its strength, since Mario sells a whole lot better than Little big planet, then according to you it shouldn't exist, but it does for a reason which is why shooting games should exist on the Wii. Also I'm sick of people blaming Nintendo for the Wii's decline, will you guys just accept Nintendo is ready to move on? You guys continue to compare the Wii to the 360 and ps3 even though they have the continued support they have only because Sony and Microsoft don't want to move on from them. So of course they will outlast the Wii its freaking time for the Wii to go.

WTF is this?

looks like year 2012 is the year ro hate Nintendo

no wonder some say the world will end this year...

And the Wii is the longest Nintendo has went without the release of a new console so why shouldn't they move on. I just realized my post are way off topic, so for the discussion at hand I would say the Wii is no where near a disappointment. I have enjoyed nearly all of its best games don't really feel like listing them but the genres Nintendo does best in I enjoyed.

I would say no. The Wii did its job and brought in an immense, untapped gaming market. Even as a console, it brought many gems and hard hitting titles. Skyward Sword, Just Dance, SMBB, NSMB, Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story and many more.

Personally, I think the Wii did a fantastic job with it's target audience, despite all the hard core fans whining from time to time. It build a huge base with the kids and their parents and the Wii-U is supposed to pick up on that and become a more core gaming console, as those kids will have grown since it's original launch. In fact, I am going to purchase a Wii very very soon so I can play Xenoblade and TLS and I'm a bit of a Sony fanboy. I already bought Xenoblade, I'm just waiting on my bonus check from work this may to purchase it brand new.

Overall, the Wii was not a disappointment..

This. Right here is what I think as well

I guess with all this talk of failure because of game sales, wouldn't a greater measurement of failure be by the amount of studios that have closed down. The only studios that I can think of that failed and closed because of developing on the Wii: Hudson entertainment, Frozen North productions, and Rainbow Studios.

Studios that failed and closed because of developing on the HD consoles: Bizarre Studios, Factor 5, FASA Studio, Grin, Kaos Studios, Midway, MTV games, Pandemic Studios, Realtime Worlds, Team Bondi, Zipper Interactive.

Off the top of my head I can name 4 times the developers that had to shutdown because they failed on HD consoles. I think that goes to show where the real failure and disappointment is.

Developers on the HD console will survive as long as they bring shooters like Resident Evil Raccon City.
