The PS2 got all the big games, all of them.

The Wii got got all the big Nintendo games.

As much as the Wii is selling, The HD systems get the games usually generation Winners get, which is very weird.

Well wii won ages ago, its boring to talk about it

& the hardcore guys who care a lot about sales find their big games on PS360

It's not just the expensive games that are on the HD consoles, a lot of the better indie developers are making games on the HD consoles too, and I'd equate Indie games with budget films.

Wii Ware's best game is still World of Goo, which was a PC game to begin with.

Meanwhile you see PC games that have to be dumbed down to shit for PS360, both gameplay-wise and technically, what does that say about them? :)

"Just accept that fact that ALOT of the core gamers don't care much for the Wii"

No, you can't accept that there is a difference between caring and discussing or acknowledging. I don't really care for the Metal Gear Solid series. I do acknowledge it anyway.

Correction it was on both platforms (released the same day on both) and sold best on Wii Ware :P

As for the indie HD games... those are few and far between... Braid being one of the few that comes to mind, there are plenty of those inventive little games on Wii Ware.  Braid itself isn't that inventive, its like various gaming references meets, PoP sands, meets 2D platforming/puzzle solving all rolled up into one, its cool but not completely original.

Since it launched it's essentially sailed to the top and stayed there. It's first party games sell better than any other console first party games (including 360) and even when down YOY in pure physical sales it's still ahead.

I guess with such heated content between the HD consoles (which are essentially selling neck and neck time adjusted) that just attracts lots of attention vs Wii.

How often does that actually happen in sports? Or many other events? It doesn't unless you loathe the winner.

@ richardhutnik:

When you make threads like this - all the trolls come out from under their bridges. Be mindful next time!

I think people are missing the bigger picture here.

99% of the video game industry is comprised of uncreative twats that would rather fight for PS360 scraps making last gen games in HD than actually make a real and innovative attempt at making motion control games.

Yes, they would actually rather spend 2x as much making games for a smaller audience than grow some balls and put in a real effort on Wii. It's easier to make generic_shooter_045 with super realistic graphics than who_knows_what_genres_motion_control_allows with a graphic style that require some artistic vision.

It's not even a difficult position to defend since the Wii has exactly 0 AAA 3rd party games. They can't even say "at least we tried"

It's not a hard decision from a business perspective, play it safe and stick to what you know and pray to all holy hell you're not relegated to obscurity a few years down the line. I hear shmups are popular nowadays.
