Well, check out IGN's "Best of E3" list and the only Wii games mentioned are Wii Sports, and the new Metroid, Zelda and Mario games. Meanwhile, the only sequel on their PS3 or 360 lists is Metal Gear Solid 4 and Halo 3.

annie's comments were the exact opposite of all the critiques i've read and discussed, thats all i meant.

as for nintendo's titles being of a smaller range than sony's, it really isn't accurate. zelda, mario, smash bros, kirby, karts, metroid, star fox, donkey kong, luigi's mansion, etc, etc.... those are all nintendo games. they're not gamecube's (or wii's or snes') only games, nor are they the only ones that receive acclaim.

technically, in the case of this argument, sony doesn't have any games. they rely on the same third parties nintendo does. and looking at each of those third parties individually, nothing is all that impressive.

ea only really has madden. capcom only has resident evil. rockstar only has grand theft auto. konami only has metal gear, etc, etc.

does ps2 have more games than gamecube? yes. will ps3 have more games than wii? more than likely.

but in terms of quantity and quality or originality of games, no game maker even comes close to nintendo.



Perhaps this is the fallacy of our argument. You're evaluating the gaming world based on the totality of a company's output. I'm simply evaluating the individual consoles and what games are available specifically for them(or at the very least, initially available specifically for them).

Look up the games I mentioned. Gears of War is an XBox360 game(by Microsoft). Mass Effect is alos a 360 game by Microsoft. Assassin's Creed is a PS3 game(by Ubisoft, currently listed as a PS3 exclusive).

These may be games that are similar to other previously existing games(that's unavoidable), but they're the games that are getting the pub at E3, and they're unique in content. Meanwhile, the Wii is making noise with new controllers but the same game franchises.
