Excellent post. I agree completely. Wish Brawl was a bit higher up though but Nintendo is partly to blame for that for messing up the online.

Great thread. Good points and I don't think many will argue over it. Now we need the 3rd party publishers to pull their fingers out.
yeap, this thread is very true!
don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^
Putting up this list does not explain the Why? It explains why many many of us are perplexed and confused why the Wii sells so well. Sure the Nintendo fans can celebrate that the Wii is winning and by a large margin.
What is wrong is looking at those games on the list and understanding why you celebrate out right mediocre or even worse bad games.
Wii Sports (17.45m) - mediocre
Wii Fit (10.37m) - medicre
Wii Play (7.82m) - bad
Mario and Sonic (3.30m) - mediocre
Carnival Games (1.74m) - bad
Link's Crossbow Training (1.65m) - mediocre
Mario Party 8 (1.63m) - bad
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

But thats not the point. The problem of the Wii lies below the Top10. While the 360 and the PS3 have a long long list of really good games, the Wii has a couple of (Nintendo produced) Blockbusters and a huge amount of not so good titles. The middle is missing. Discussion is not new. |
The PS3 and 360 have a middle as you call it because the top and bottom games aren't seperated as much.

Let's see, you left out the games that wouldn't help your view(SSBB, SMG and the rest). And how many of those games have you played? I can only speak for Wii Sports and I enjoyed it very much.

Wii Sports and Wii Fit are actually pretty good for what they are.
The rest, yeah they're pretty crap, but you can expect a lot of crap to sell when the userbase is so huge. Just look at the ps1/2 million seller lists.
Id like to see more third party titles entering that list. Of course, I'd like to see more high quality 3rd party titles.

I left them out as to not confuse the issue. I didnt think they were mediocre or bad. If I would have left them in the list people would have screamed I was calling some good games bad.

If you would have wrote good next to them I don't think people would have gotten confused. And you haven't answered my question.
