Ok, so they had a few cool things. Like Wii Music, Wii Sports Resort, some snowboard game, but seriously, they had NOTHING new. All just rehashes or expansions of what they already have, which quite frankly I am bored with.
I've had 3 different Wii's. Each time I get bored, sell it, and then eventually another game comes out or my girl friend wants one so I bought it again. Now my Wii has been sitting in its place for months. Without a group of people, it just sucks. There are no new games on the platform that appeal to the FPS, RPG, RTS lover like me. They may have a few RPGs and the like, but they are all the same old stuff, and by now I have grown accustomed to HD quality graphics and want more than their bubble figures.
They showed a slide that said Wii sells more games than Xbox 360 and PS3 by a large margin. While that may be true, they didn't state how that was measured. They probably took into account Wii Sports which comes with every console, and Wii Play, which is just a controller with some more little mini games. Now they have such a majority of titles so it isn't alarming that they may sell more games, but the individual games sell less. I don't know about many of you, but it still seems like the Wii is a fad. Whenever I'm at home by myself, I never look at the Wii, but will choose from either the 360 or PS3 because the Wii does not have much related to me or for single person play. That slide also showed PS3 software sales higher than 360's which I know cannot be true!! Xbox 360 has more titles, and every multiplatform title that is on both or all 3 systems, the 360 version sells more, so I have a feeling this slide was calculated very incorrectly. Not to mention the real attachment rates for next gen consoles is Xbox 360-7.2; Wii-2.3, PS3-2.2.
Oh and then they went on about their DS and how glorious it is and Pokemon and the like. The only real news they announced was "Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars" or whatever for the DS, and they didn't say it was exclusive, so it will probably be on the PSP as well.
