^^^^^ Like I said, best games are pushing it when many games are not out yet, did you even read the rest of my post? They could be the best games this gen when those games come out. In a few years we can do "best games this gen" but not right now, when it's only been this gen for two years. At least three years to go before we can start crowning awards.

SMG is currently ranked number 2 on the top games ranking at Gamerankings.com, I doubt it'll fall of its perch that easily

^^^^ Oh I agree, it won't fall off easily, we jus tchouldn't be saying that games will be the best games this generation just yet without all the top contenders being out.

Fact.

Ocarina of Time came out about 2 years after the launch of the Nintendo 64.  Galaxy will be great, but we cannot forsee how it will withstand the test of time and what games will appear in the future to challenge it.

Yeah but SMG keeps getting rave reviews, heck it has perfect 10's which haven't been counted on its review scale (at least not yet), I find it hard to imagine any of those listed games doing as well (maybe if Shiggy was directing : P )

14 million units its first year, I think that's pretty damn unprecidented. We saw the 360's rocky start its first year too now we wait and see if the Wii's second year can live up to the 360's second year turn around.

Amazing year for the wii

As far as "killer apps" go, Wii is now equal to where 360 was in it's first year: 4 titles, three of which are ports of PC games released a few months earlier, or in the Wii's case, two Gamecube games.

360 still had better rated games overall, with lots of games in the 8s, but the Wii has just as many top rated killer apps.

With games like FFCC, NiGHTS, No More Heroes, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Mario Kart, and Tales of Symphonia 2 coming next year, Wii will hopefully see something similar to the 360's explosion of games in it's second year, although I doubt it will be as large.

I failed history did I?  Go check the charts for yourself:

So in the PS2's second year, they went from less than 4M to over 12M sold in Japan.  Quite a slackening in demand.  In fact, in all three territories the PS2 did better in its second year that the first.  And I stand by my statement that Wii demand has declined in Japan lately.  Period.  End of sentence.  It's a fact.  Get over it, Fanboy!

And up until very recently, Wii games have been mostly crap.  You named two titles.  I said that there were some good first party games and a handful of third party ones.  That's less than a handful.  Checking metacritic for a second, as of today's writing it only took an average score of 76 to get on the Top 20 All Time High Scores for Wii games.  And that includes recent hits like Galaxy and Z&W.  That's not so hot when compared the the top 20 for other consoles including the often ridiculed PS3.  The lowest score on their Top 20 is an 83.

The Wii has done well.  I said that.  Bit it also deserves a bit of criticism.  And if you can't take it, go somewhere else.
