There's something wrong with your reasoning here... I'm trying to put my finger on it... Hmm...



This is invisible text!

Because there have been better ip released for the ps3 and 360 than there have been on wii, hence why it has a weaker library

BEcause the PS360 userbase is bigger, so more devs make games on it



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Almost all those games you listed are multi platform.... and devs only do multi platforms for the hd consoles.

I expect the entire thread starting with the post after yours to be derailed by "But the wii is kiddizes face it sales are TEH FACT"fans (apparently people cant say fanboys anymore? )
