This is not stating an opinion. It's claiming the Wii's price isn't going to help the system. It's right at the top of the article.

And he posts a bunch of dubious points to back them up.

"And it's not only due to the fact that no one in their right mind wants to "waggle a Wiimote" over holding a normal controller."

Even if that is just his opinion, it's not a good way to claim the Wii is not worth it to the consumer in general, which is what the article is actually about.

This is not "The Wii isn't worth it to me because of X". It's "The Wii is doomed because of X".

That's why it's wrong. It's a faulty prediction, not a stated opinion.

I enjoy my wii... It may not be the most 'technically advanced' system on the market but it does what I bought it to do. It plays 'casual' games that requires me to flail my body parts around. As well, I think quite a interesting games came out in the past 2 years. WSR and EAA being them. If you looks at X360 and PS3 it could be argued that it's the same. There aren't that may quality games that come out very often... Fable II, Mass Effect, LBP, Killzone 2, Uncharted, Halo, Final Fantasy or GT aren't the types of games that come very often. The Wii has Zelda and a new met coming.

That wasn't what the context of the comment implied. And the article is NOT ABOUT HIS FFELINGS OF THE GAMES. It's about how his feelings of the games is proof the system won't be helped by the price drop.

Did you miss the headline of the article? And I mean that to all of you acting as though the article is just discussing his feelings on the Wii. You clearly didn't read all of it, when the thesis is clearly not about his feelings on the games.

Thats where I think you're wrong. They could release a quality title every month on PS3 and 360, but instead release them all at X-mas! I'm, having a lot of trouble deciding what to buy over the next few months with my limited money.

In some other thread a long time ago, Viper did the math and proved that Nintendo is actually making more hardcore games for the Wii than it ever did for the GameCube, and making them faster, debunking the entire "Nintendo is abandoning us wah wah wah!" argument.

But let me see...

3-D platformers: GC got Sunshine, Wii gets Galaxy 1 and 2, Wii wins.

2-D platformers: Wii is getting Wario Shake It, Super Paper Mario, and New SMB Wii, Wii wins.

Kart: 1 each, but the Wii's has 12 player online, motorcycles, and classic tracks, far superior, Wii wins.

Smash Bros.: 1 each, but Wii's has a level editor, online, and an adventure mode, Wii wins.

Metroid: GC gets Prime 1 and 2, Wii gets Prime 3, Metroid: Other M, and the Prime Trilogy, Wii wins.

Zelda: GC gets WindWaker and Twilight Princess, Wii gets far superior Twilight Princess and the new one, so far it's a tie.

Classic Zeldas: GC gets the collector's disc, but doesn't get Link to the Past, failing miserably.  Wii gets them all on the VC, Wii wins.

Punch-Out!: Wii wins.

Indie games: Wii has WiiWare, Wii wins.

Sports games: Wii wins.

Puzzle games: Wii wins.

Party games: Wii wins.

Exercise games: Wii wins.

Music games: Wii wins.

Brain training games: Wii wins.

Online Dr. Mario: Wii wins.

So people can complain that there are too many sports, party, exercise, music, and brain training games, but they're getting more 3-D Marios, more 2-D Marios, more control methods, online gaming, Virtual Console, WiiWare, THE MOST EXCLUSIVES OF THE GENERATION, and the same amount of Zeldas, Metroids, Karts, and Smash Bros. games.  If Nintendo has SHIFTED its focus to casual games, what hardcore franchises is it leaving behind?  It's making MORE hardcore games and MORE casual games.  Nintendo is simply making MORE games.  And this is good.

All GC has going for it is Pikmin, Star Fox, F-Zero, Kirby, and Mario Party.  But Wii is going to get Pikmin 3, and I highly doubt F-Zero will miss an entire console.  Kirby, like Donkey Kong, lives on on the DS and in mini-games, and nobody misses Mario Party.  Wii already got the best Mario Party.  And Star Fox is in limbo or something.  I'm waiting or a Star Fox and F-Zero, but I already have about a billion games to play through, so I can wait a long time for those.

No More heroes
Brawl
Mario kart
conduit
animal crossing




The list can go on but AS USUAL you cant spell IGNorance without IGN.

That? It's just part of the seasonal business mentality. They assume all the money is made around then, where it's been shown quite a bit a hit game can make money any time of the year.

In fact, Nintendo has been working on that. They seem to have gotten sidetracked after Wii Music didn't work as well as they hoped. But before that, they released hit games quite a bit in the off months, while with HD games, off months tended to come from delays.

NO, that cant be it. what the hell does people hating on the wii on internet has to do with 3rd party developers not making decent games on wii? You think developers are reading what some forum and blog posters are posting about the wii? Please explain that. Also, PS3 got THE BIGGEST hate any console has ever recived in 2007 and it still got tons of good 3rd party games.

It's more because a lot of developers are from the same pool that these online haters came from, and also because the heads of publishers are thinking that making games for the HD systems is safer than developing for the Wii, because they think the higher costs are less important than the familiarity to the last generation.

The same thing can still be said about PS3 or 360. It's all about opinions, taste and in some cases your fanboy level.
