He wasnt hating on the wii just saying what he disliked about the wii.

I agree with this completely.

The Wii is no PS2 games wise....I only have 3 games for it...and I don't intend to buy any in teh future. Games wise it is really Gamecube 2....imo.

everyone says 3rd parties will come....but they have been saying that for 2 years now. If the wii doesn't give me a very good reason to own it soon....it may be replaced by a 360 at a profit (as the wii will sell for loads of $$$ at xmas)

True but the extent of what he'sa saying that people were expecting was not realistic. It would be like saying that the Xbox 360 and the PS3 are failures graphically because people expected truly life life graphics where you expected to not notice the different at all between watching a movie or sport on TV and a video game of the same and that didn't happen.

Simply put, there is no way the Wii can be called a failure and that's about as close as a fact as you can get.

I read the title and came in to the thread to warn you that if you are posting your opinion you better have the thickest flame suit ever made on or you were exposing yourself to a serious roasting from the VGChartz Wii community. Luckily for you, it is just an article and not your opinion so you are safe. 

Three games worth playing IMO SMG and Zedla TP(legendary and I love them both) and SSBB(fun for multiplayer).

Everything else is not indicative of a game with such a massive library.

Nice Read, the article brings up some interesting thought provoking ideas.

I said it once and il say it again...its a gamecube with motion controls. The public have just lapped it up because it offers something slightly different with its waggle. And before anyone says, i actually have a wii (in my uni apartment) i play on regularly.

First night- we played on it for 6 hours straight

One week later nobody plays on it, we play on my PS3 (theres 6 of us)

What does that tell you?

Some quick impressions.

The Wii is different -- too different for those who like gaming the way it was last generation but not different enough for those who wanted a completely immersive experience. Thus, both groups tend to criticize the console. Those whose Wiis sit in closets or boot sales them tend to fit in these categories, but most likely in the former.

Is the Wii perfect? No. But neither is any console. (PS3 ends Sony's BC promise, Home is late .... Xbox 360 has too extra purchases, DRM on XBLA .... PSP can be hacked too easily, lacks second analog stick ... DS requires trade-offs (GBA BC for multimedia) has graphical limits ....).

But anything with a 47% marketshare and 34M units sold (not the 30M stated in the article -- which was reached in mid-July) is not a failure.

Again, it is not perfect. It is not everyone's ideal type. But it has reached a new audience. And with its attach rate about the same as other consoles, it is doing fine. (This group is extreme, most people buy less than 10 games for their console -- and yes, I know that attach rate measure mean not median, but generally means are higher than medians, particularly where there is a lower bound (zero) but no effective upper bound).
