Most of the people buying a Wii don't know about the game line up or how poor the current list is. They see movie -tie ins with films their kids love and games that involve them moving not just holding a pad. In all, most Wii buyers don't see it as buying a console but buying a toy.

This old topic again? Well the Wii has sold more buts its games are crap and won't be taken seriously as a console but as it has made crap loads of money I don't think Nintendo will care.

Of course, that may be ignoring that a toy is precisely what a console is.

You don't get what I mean. When I bought my 360 U was deciding between games consoles, so PS3 (when it was due to come out) ot the 360. When parents shop for a Wii they are not looking at the 360 or PS3 as options, they compare it with other toys, kids toys and because of this game line up, graphics etc means jack, they want it because its the in thing and you move with it to do stuff.

I think its terrible that Nintendo is doing so well financially. I used to love Nintendo... But the Wii. Wow it's been a huge disappointment. The motion sensing controls are a HUGE gimmick, and there are only a handful of quality games on the system. I just hope that the developers that are actually trying and succeeding in doing new and innovative things on the other better consoles, don't jump over to Nintendo's side. I don't want to see more crappy games on a crappy console, but most of all I don't want good developers making crappy games when I know that they could be making awesome ones.
