These are 3rd party games thats the difference. They will sell in the shed loads and will come out of developers all throughout the year. There's enough diversity in there (you just mentioned a futuristic racer, world war 2 game, sandbox, boxing, tennis)
With Nintendo its not Virtua fighter tennis its Mario tennis, its Mario Kart not Riiiiiiiiidge Raaaaaacer (sorry). These games can be brought out all year. You cant ship 3 Mario karts each year. You can ship 5 different boxing games.
Anyway im off to bed, London tomorrow
Hahahaha. I'm sorry, it hasn't been since fans actually believed "4D" have I laughed so much in a console thread.
Firstly you say "metroid 1-7", okay, (and Markleshark, you missed these gems!) where have you been with Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest? What about Resident Evil? Get your bloody mind in gear before you reply next time before accusing Nintendo of running in the sequel race. The only difference is Nintendo games are tied to their systems. Just as much as FF7-whatever we're up to now are tied to Sony systems.
Now, I respect C-D and (used to) Onizuka because they at least try to be slightly educated in their responses and arguments.

Games such as? Dont just give me software numbers because its likely that more are in development for the other next gen consoles, give me actual titles which people will want. Like Assassins Creed, GTA, Devil may Cry. 3rd party games that will make me want to buy a console.
Right. So you have no idea of how the hell the gaming industry works. You should have said that earlier. You think they order dev kits in January and announce games in what... May? Games are usually announced when they're about 50-90% completed unless they are mega projects or expected like Halo, Smash Bros, FF-million.
It proves firstly that Nintendo, like with the cube (which you didn't recognize) are again solely relying on in house support for their console. Without AAA 3rd party games there wont be enough diversity for gamers to want to buy the console and there wont be enough quality games being released. Short term success now doesn't guarantee that in 1 years time when the PS3 is established, lower in price with some quality AAA titles, that people are going to choose the Wii on price point alone.
ROFL! So. Nintendo. Who were the only company to believe in their product before it took the world by storm, the only major developers for it (I mean they were making ridiculous claims, who'd have thought they would have totally worked out? We didn't, hence our late dev kit order). They bring out killer games (highest rated this gen and re-release the one before last too, no less) and pretty much own the current console race. So. Other devs see what's happening and buy dev kits.
They flock to where the attention is, any self respecting company wanting money will do this. These dev kits for the most sought after console were just ordered... oh I don't know... to go fishing with? As somebody who doesn't know anything about the industry
at all could you please educate me on what they are doing?
That is in the past already.
Oh, also want to know why devs are flocking to the Wii? Lower dev price. A major publisher announced a while ago how much standard 360/PS3 and Wii games cost to be developed.
So. Devs go to the system that has massive public appeal (check) and will cost them less money to make a game for (check). Have you not
even worked this out yet?
Again youve simply proven my point that all they have at the moment is the usual games, it matters because there are other gamers with different tastes who unlike you are not satisfied by Metroid 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and Super Duper Mario Bros and Sisters 5
My lovely white keyboard has pure orange juice all over the keys now
See hypocrite, or the above messages mocking you. Bye bye, serious discussion.
Peter Molyneux was recently given the same honour by France
Right, and? He's tied to a system too. He got 3 platinum scoring games in Famitsu? (no really I don't know and would like to).
I don't mean to sound rude, but how old are you Sparky?
