1). Wii sports didn't score any higher then what it did because at the end of the day it's little more than a tech demo. It only has 5 mini games which again can be completed in less than 30 minutes. It has no proper leaderboards and no online. It has poor graphics, basic gameplay, no options to change the game types, alot of the games are broken and can be exploited which makes them no fun. Mii's can only be used in some of the games which is lazy development and the game is far to easy. Not to mention the a.i. isn't great so the single player game is poor.

Mario party 8 is a series that has gone on for to long and the ideas of that game just aren't fresh anymore. More importantly the game is broken by unfairly awarding and removing stars, this is well documented in most reviews of the game. It also suffers from most of the problems i listed about wii sports.

Mario and sonic at the olympics, rayman and carnival games again all suffer from most of the problems i listed about wii sports and scored accordingly.

warioware is the only game to actually do mini games right and fixes most of the problems of the above games and scored over 80%.

2). I posted that as somebody else was responding to a point i made.

3). Tiger woods 07 scored worse on the wii than the 360 and ps3 version because it's graphics are worse, it had no online and it's putting controls with the wii were too fiddly.

4). Developers don't enjoy making dumbed down games, they want to make the best games they can, with the wii they cant do that. The combined userbase of the 360/ps3/pc will always be higher then that of the wii and developers will continue to make the majority of top rated games for the 360/ps3/pc combo and not the wii. Also it's worth noteing that users of the 360/ps3/pc buy far more third party games than wii owners do. So don't hold your breath about wii getting all the big exclusives, you'll be holding it for a long time.

Like I said, again, people grasping at straws to take away from the Wiis software success. Whether the straw you grasp is

"OMG but teh gamerankeengs is lower see lololz"

or

"Wii gamez are teh tech demoz and devs wont support it watch!11"

Its all the same. Bitter bitter tears.

Some people are so stupid, it stops being funny.

Opinion is opinion. It doesn't matter who's it is or how many people share it. At the end of the day, it's still an opinion.

I don't care if every game reviewer fawns over a game and gives it tens across the board. Someone can still find the game derivative and/or boring. It's happened to me a number of times. And it works the other way around, too. Just because someone likes something that you don't, it doesn't mean they have "bad taste." It means they have tastes that differ from your own.

REVIEW SCORES MEAN NOTHING. Every intelligent person on Earth has figured that out over the years. Eventually, scores will be a thing of the past and all reviews will have to be read in full. Then, the stupid people will have to think for themselves and maybe become less stupid. Everyone wins.

You're using logic to argue with a known delusional who's life revolves around the numerical summations of other people's opinions. You're wasting your time. This is the same person that could not accept the fact that Heavenly Sword was a short game and continued to write long blowhard responses arguing about it until even the Sony fanbys got tired of listening to him and left the thread.

Look at his friggin forum activity:

Now that's dedication.

Jimmay, when everyone else in the entire thread disagrees with you, regardless of stripe, you should probably stop and consider.

When you're calling virtually everyone else in this discussion either a fanboy, or troll, or both, you should stop and consider.

There are times when I do feel like most others are wrong and I am right, but at the very least, I stop and consider if maybe there's a reason why it seems I'm facing overwhelming opposition to my position. In this case, you dont' seem to be doing that. Find a way to reconcile with others, or stop. That's a warning.

Here's a hint: it is perfectly reasonable to be of the opinion that the Wii isn't as fun or good as the PS3 or 360. Start there.  

Critical review of games is in its infancy at best and has not been accepted as the best way to judge a games quality for decades. With most mediums there is an easy and definable set of standards you can apply to any given work that exists in the field. This does not apply to video games however. Multi-player cannot, and should not exist in every game. Epic single player stories are the same. Online play is another spot where some games would benefit from it massively, and others it would be meaningless. Highly detailed graphics is not necessary for a game to be great either so long as the art style is strong enough to pull it through. If any of those areas are found lacking however critics will lower the review score.

The video game medium does not lend itself well to critical review over all, and the entire industry around it is still in its infancy. Metroid Prime 3 has gotten a lot of flack for not having a multi-player mode, but Twilight Princess lacks it as well and no one complained. Online multiplayer only games like Warhawk get judged solely by what it is like to play online, but games like Wii Sports get knocked down because it is not so fun single player. Woe be to the game that supports multiplayer but does not attempt online regardless of whether or not it would actually be any fun.

Even if we were to assume for whatever reasons the above are all incorrect or terrible examples we still have one gigantic flaw in this arguement. People will not continue to buy crap. It just doesn't work that way. You can say it is devoid of all these great and amazing qualities but that is irrelevant. At the end of the day the consumer decides what is or is not good. There is nothing more important than profit for any buisness. Thats just the way the cookie crumbles on this one. If a game is selling extremely well then it is good, regardless of anyones opinion. That includes yours, mine, and every reviewer that exists. The sooner you accept that, the sooner your arguements can make some kind of sense.

Jinmay the wii is winning this generation on a few simple points and you can even look this up.There are at least 2x times more casuals than hardcore gamers.I pretty forgiving with the two times since analysts have said is more like 4X.Now tell me who has the most casual games. This is essential since none of your quality games except Halo has beaten a casual game like mario & sonic in sales. This because the industry is changing especially in europe and japan. Just look at thier overall best selling games mostly casual games.

Everyone is titled thier opinions but look around the industry is changing and it will always cater to what is most profitable now.

What the point of this thread?

On what point you can`t agree people?

The only 'bitter tears' i see are people not being able to take the average reviews of wii games.

No your right, their's no such thing as a good, bad or average game. Because just one person can like or dislike a game then a game can be anything, communism at it's finest. Aparently their is no such thing as bad taste either, that widely used term i just made up. x360, ps3 and wii software is all good, bad and average all at the same time, awesome.
