It's subjective, I guess, but the Wii is going to be the one console that wins NOT because it has the best games....ironic, ain't it?

 

 Best games is not what wins a generation, its most games. Size and breadth (variety) of a consoles library are what bring in the masses (or don't when they are lacking) in the back half of a generation.

 

Just some examples of what I'm saying:

  • gen 2 - Intellivision and Coleco had games that blew away anthing on the Atari, but Atari's library was sooooo much bigger
  • gen 4 - Similar libraries, similar sales
  • gen 5 - some of the highest rated games of all time were on the N64, but the huge library belonged to the PS
  • gen 6 - largest library in history, and largest sales in history both to the PS2

 

There are numerous factors that determine the generation winner and one of them is best library of games not the amount of games the console has

ps1 had a infinitely better library of games then the n64 despite n64 having 2 of the best games ever made, but they were to few as the ps1 library didn't have a mario 64 or zelda it had dozens of games that came close to them, and that is what's important, a large amount of quality games is one of the most important factors for a consoles success not quantity

ps2 had the same thing going for it, a huge list of great games that appealed to everyone something the competition didn't have

so far from the games announced for 09 wii doesnt seem to have that great of a line up for next year i meen its good but not at the level this topic is making it out to be of course some of the higher profile games probably are still to be announced for next year so that situation may change but for now nothing more then an ok lineup for 09

But see thats your opinion that the PS1 had a better library, as far as i'm concerned N64 had the most quality games, even more than the PS2.

^I agree, I was never impressed by the PS library. I can replay my favorite N64 games dozens of times because of their great quality. And again, this is my OPINION.

OT: I can't wait 'til 2009! Wait, yes I can, I'll just get some of those upcoming 2008 titles and keep playing the great games I have now.

@Jo21: YES! WE ARE ALL HAPPY, YIPPIE!! After 4 years of waiting, a demo arrives!
Then you gotta wait til the 360 version is finished to play the game though. So another year at least.

2009 will be the year of the wii. You just remember that

 

Oh diomedes, why it doesnt surprise me?? You attitud of believing that everythin you like is the best...or that everybody thinks the same way as you??? IMO, wii has better games...why? because those are the games that like. And like someone say, don't combine the X360 and the ps3. The ps3 is by far the one with the worst catalog out there imo. And i see a lot of games being announce for the wii....i mean, if you just read the thread (this one) you will actually see it.

 

Stop with your nonsense [that one that made you famous everywhere] and enjoy your console, and the games coming for it. Instead of saying that the wii has no (good) games to come. And especially because you use the flop argument. A lot of great games dont have the sells they deserve. But that doesnt makes it less of a great game.

 

Grow up dude



03/10/09 HUGE day in my life:

There are some big title coming late 2008/early 2009. I'm really looking forward to it!



Hyperion on 13 September 2008

I'm not really loving my Wii as much as I used to, but I really hope 09 turns out better. The first half of 08 was great, but I want a great year all 'round. There's nothing I can do, except wait.
