Nope. Wii has a real problem with quality software. Mario Galaxy will sell a lot but it's only one game. PS3 keeps steady stream of solid games since August. I don't expect new games to solve a PS3's problem because there is no problem at all. Before end of the year PS3 will have planty very interesting games appealing to broad audiency. N64 and GC have few heavy hitters too but it isn't enough. No sport games, shooters, racers - key genres outside Japan etc. Nintendo should be extremely happy with GTAIV delay. |
This is an unbelievably offbalanced point of view. The Wii has trouble with quality software? The Wii has 3 9.0+ game. The PS3 has 1, and it's been out on the 360 for months before it was even released on the PS3. The Last PS3 game released that scored an 8+ is Heavenly Sword and it's the low end. You want to talk about software diversity problems? How about some statistics:
Of the PS3's 27 7.5+ rated games, 7 are exclusive. The PS3 still has yet to recieve an exclusive 9.0+ game, and only 1 non-exclusive one. As for diversity of game library: of the PS3's 27 games 11 are sports, 7 shooters, 4 racers, 3 action, 1 RPG, 1 adventure
Of the Wii's 15 7.5+ rated games, 11 are exclusive. The Wii has 1 exclusive 9.0+ game and 3 9.0+ games total. The diversity of it's library is as follows: 4 sports, 2 adventure, 2 minigame, 2 action, 1 simulation, 1 shooter, 1 RPG/platformer, 1 puzzle, and 1 racer.
What's this mean? It means the PS3 lacks exclusive good games. Meaning if you want to play the PS3's games, the 360 is by far the better option because it's cheaper and has it's own robust library of exclusive games. If you want to play the Wii's good games, you need a Wii. If you want to play the most genres on one system, the Wii covers more genres than the PS3.
So, I repeat, if the PS3 doesn't have problems with software, the Wii never did. As far as the PS3 having lots of big games left this year and Mario Galaxy not being that big, go ahead and pick 5 PS3 games from now to December 31st on the PS3, and I will bet you Super Mario Galaxy outsells every single one of them combined lifetime worldwide.
