I'm surprised that you don't apply this ratio to the other two systems, because it's
just as accurate.
Perhaps , but when the VAST majority of your library is so far below even the mediocre
games on other systems you have a problem , but your right just about every system ever has had more flops then great titles ...the main difference is in the remaining titles that aren't "great"...the wii has about 90 really playable games...with the rest either being horrible or just broken...so ya maybe ps3 and xbox only has 100 amazing titles out , but the rest of their library isn't brimming to the rim with shallow crap the wii is churning out
I believe it's more of a general distaste for the Wii's library that makes it that way. In fact, many Wii games aren't aimed at us: they're for more inexperienced people that are new to videogames. Shallow as it may be, you can't really expect them to pick up and play things like Starfox, Portal, and Halo if you want the videogame industry to grow. That would be just excluding a valuable source of income. You could argue that they're "forgetting about their core fanbase" in that sense, but they're still churning out our favorite mascot character games, aren't they? We still have a lot of the things that makes Nintendo an excellent game developer.
And trust me, the Xbox 360 and the PS3 has their fair share of what I think is "shallow crap". To me, games that solely rely upon cookie-cutter gameplay design, graphics, and jiggle physics are some of the most forgettable games that pale in comparison to the better-received. And I'm not saying that this description is reserved to xbox titles either; Wii games are generally shunned by the gaming community because of their uninteresting if not unchallenged content as well.
