Forums - Nintendo - Can the Wii continue to dominate?

I wouldn't pay too much attention to Metacritic's ratings. They are missing a LOT of games.

 True, but I don't think any of those games would score above 90% anyways...

Yeah i just checked out the PS3 on metacrtic and your right. I see where i've gone wrong with my thoughts, i was just abit bewildered scrolling down the list of Wii games and i was just abit like "omg theres not many games in the geen".

I used the Dreamcast because it had about the same games as the Wii and i thought it would be a good comparison from that point and because the console never really took off yet it has more highly reviewed games.

It's interesting though how Nintendo really carries it's own product.
I just think that many third party developers do not want to create big titles for the Wii just like Nintendo does. I still kinda think that Nintendo could do with some 2nd party developers such as Rare again to really improve what they already have.

Well, your an intelligent, thorough, and thoughtful poster. I salute you, sir.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I just wanted to say this:

I don't think the issue is that reviewers unfairly treat Wii games, the Wii without a doubt has less games worth being on that 80 percent and up list than the PS3.

However, I also believe that nearly every game on the 80 and up list is a great game that appeals to most of the gaming public, and is easily considerable and worth owning by any fan of games. Especially since most of those games are exclusives.

On the other hand, the PS3's list is made up of ports, sports, and other very niche titles that don't necessarily appeal to the core PS2 audience. In fact, there are only 3-4 quality exclusive games on the PS3 alltogether, while the Wii approaches 20, and of those, are some of the greatest games ever developed.

So, while the PS3 may appear to have a better library if you only looked at numerical data from gamerakings, and counted up a number, in reality, and taking into account exclusives, port quality, and overall quality of the actual purchasable games for the non niche' audience, the PS3 just doesn't have a library worth mentioning yet, while the Wii's library is actually quite comparable to the Gamecube.



Or in other words, besides sports games, the PS3 has about four decent first person shooters, Uncharted, Rock Band, Guitar Hero, and Rachet and Clank, and that's about it.

We all know what the Wii has. I own them both. I perfer my earlier explaination, to my anecdotal evidence, however, but my explainations tend to get wordy, so I feel its best to summarize with reailty.

 

 

Not to say that the Wii library is definitively better than the PS3's library, but instead, according to my tastes, it's better, and it's certainly comparable in quality to the PS3 library, despite what assumptions might be made by numerically counting Gamerankings 80 plus titles.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

about Wii domination there are many other realities on our Bleu Planet so please well I just wanna add something about the next Zelda the real Zelda for the Wii not a ported one from our old GC no Not Twilight Princess No but this one will be the game no one I mean no-one will be able to criticize I mean you really will see the meaning of the PERFECTION what really mean for you as gamer from Nintendo to Sony fanboys, fangirls, from Microsoft to Sega too from our planet to Hyrule everyone will notice the definition of what an ACTION/ADVENTURE game mean.

p.s.: sorry for this " mean .. mean .. mean ..." but I really mean it, I mean I don't mean it.



yeah it has not a lot of good games over 75.

i used to have the total of each consoles 80+ games in my sig. It went 360 by a lot, then PS3, then Wii far behind.
