This is the first generation IMO that the console with the best games does not sell the most units. PS2 easily had the best library of games and came out on top, same with PS1, SNES, and NES. Now the weakest lineup of games crushes the competition.

Could it be possible that different people like different things?

This.

The number of people who get off by shotgunning hookers in the back of the head and seeing if they can get their character to teabag the recently slaughtered enemy are dwarfed by those who see what gaming is becoming as a way to have fun social interactions.

Hence why Wii has sold a trillion units, and why PS3 and XBOX are on life support in comparison.

This is probably the gayest sentence I've ever read in the VG forum. You can pry the dead virtual hookers off my cold, dead virtual body.

Like, it's just pretty weird to quote one person saying "maybe different people like different things" and then be like "lol yeah look at all the peons still playing their cute little shooters, how pedestrian" and then get the original person who was saying that diversity is good to +1 your rather one-sided point.

I'm one of the people who enjoy the TF2's, L4D, Warcraft, and other games that the typical Wii crowd never would.

I also like playing said Wii with my family.

My point still stands.

Sure, some people enjoy videogames that look great, play great, and are challenging. Others enjoy Wii carnival. Looks like the people who enjoy Wii Carnival are in the majority.

Even though it was made by Rare, you can't forget about the crappy Starfox game on GC, it was seriously the least fun game ever. Yes the graphics were great, it wasn't fun at all. So for comparison...

Wii Music >>>>>> Star Fox Adventures
