Competition and fun are not mutually exclusive. I mean geez, Smash Bros can be pretty competitive, so i guess that game isn't fun because it's competitive? What is with this 18-25 demographic as well? Seems like an arbitrary, baseless number you just threw out there. The elitism you're laying on thick here is such rubbish but it's no suprise there are people who actually prescribe to this.

Its not just FPS there missing alot of other types of games that seem to be getting more popular like fighting games featuring real fighters ex. boxing, cage fighting.  Also TPS like Gears and Uncharted that feature relistic environments seem to be the it thing right now, and wat about action sandbox games like GTA4, Infamous, Prototype.  There racing games r also lacking wheres F1, Nascar, they got Nascar kart racing that fails to emulate the real sport, and there missing a good racer that features real licensed cars.

FPSs are one of the most mainstream genres of video games. Even bad ones tend to sell well enough.

It's funny you say that.. How come Wii gets the most exclusives? I mean the majority of PS3 or 360 games I can just play on my PC.. How come Wii is getting 2 exclusives from Ubisoft in the second half of this year when 360 is getting one and the PS3 isn't getting any? How come EA have shifted half of their dev resources to Wii while the PS3 and the 360 have to share the same games? How come Wii gets it's own version of Dead Space when the other consoles have to share with each other AND the PC? How come Wii is the lead platform for Grand Slam Tennis and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10? How come Capcom is giving Wii exclusives like RE: UC, RE: DSC on top of all the classics when the other consoles only get RE5 which is basically painted RE4 and has to share with PC? How come the Wii has the best selling racing game ever? I thought you just said it was lacking? DiRT has been confirmed for Wii, F1 2009 is coming to Wii, not the other consoles. Wii also has the best selling fighter this generation, so obviously it's the more popular type of fighter.

Because they make more money by doing Wii-make games.

@BHR-3 in many ways I can understand your point of view, and I think there are many people like you, but there are many others who think Mario Kart is a much better game than the vast majority of 'realistic racers'.

And I don't think anyone can question quite how great Brawl is - there's a reason why it's sold over 8 million units - it rocks.

Basically, not everyone shares your taste in gaming - and I don't mean to bash it, it's just not what all gamers prefer...

P.S. @BHR-3 - I'm a little bit scared by your comment about "relating" to fighting games and wanting to do what they're doing on TV...

Wii is the only place you can find No More Heroes, MadWorld, and the only console with Manhunt 2.  These games get banned, censored, and even almost get AO ratings for too much blood, gore, and torture.  If you're into ultraviolence (or zombies), Wii is the best system by far.

Besides, E is for Everybody, not just for kids.  The other consoles would sell better if they had some more E rated games.  Kids, elderly, and women aren't obsessed with hardcore gore and violence.  Nintendo really has all bases covered.

@The Ghost of RubangB I almost completely agree with you, but nonetheless I think Nintendo still has too little third party support to be said to have "all the bases covered". They've come a long way with third parties and I think they're making progress all the time, but they still have a way to go.

Once you see really big thrid party titles like GTA or a Devil May Cry getting released on the Wii, then I think they'll have all bases covered. I'd also argue that their online gameplay system needs work as well.
