    I find the Wii to be becoming a joke. It lacks a regular flow of killer titles.

    I've been saying the Wii is a joke for 2 years now.

    I've been saying it was a joke since it was announced, but then once it was announced I was actually interested, until the system was pretty much like the Saturn at launch. NO GAMES.

    Unlike the Saturn however, the Wii still has nothing to even define it as a good system now in which later on the Saturn actually started getting some really good games(most of them in Japan as the system was hardly big here in the states.) The Wii is one of the bigger console failures when it comes to games, yet it's in first place this generation. The Gamecube has more must own titles than the Wii and that's pretty sad(I would say the Sega CD or the 32X but the Wii doesn't have far to go before catching up with those.)

    Goes to show you that even when Nintendo is raking in the cash, they might push one good first party game out a year with the rest seeming like borderline shovelware cash-in titles. I liked them better when they were a shitty company. Atleast they attempted to release more games to make their system look more worthwhile.
    Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.

    Sad how Shovelware seems to be winning the console wars.

    You aimed that at my comment yet said a portion of what I said in different words. I was implying that the system is nothing but shovelware, including first party games aside a couple, yet it's still in first place.

    Like someone said. Sales do not equal the better system. For how short lived the Dreamcast was, it was a better system in its life than the PS2 was in its early life. I like the PS2 better, but I do think the Dreamcast would have been the better system if it had more support from the consumer.

    Funny how they expect that Brawl will sell the system into the next generation.

    Jesus Christ, for a thread about the PS3 and PSP sales figures, this thread has nothing to do with the PS3 and PSP sales figures!

    At first that seems good, but I doubt that Nintendo lost as much money per cube as Sony did/is per PS3. (I might be wrong on this, I have no idea, so if I am wrong, don't piss all over me!) In order for it to work out for Sony, it can't use the cube as it's benchmark.

    I have a Wii and a PS3. My Wii sat idle for almost a year until I got a strange desire to play the new play control Pikmin (i.e. basically a gamecube game).
