Yeah, Lazy's "more games is bad" attitude here is just bizarre. First, yeah, I don't have a Wii. I've never said I did. But I have been in game stores many times, and looked at the Wii games quite a bit... and yeah, there's lots of junk there. But again, that's the sign of an actual seriously successful platform! It'd been so long since Nintendo had had one that we Nintendo fans had forgotten what it looked like...
... I mean, I do agree at the core to the idea of quantity over quality. And as I said as a 'core' gamer I'm definitely not that happy with Nintendo's casual-first focus; Nintendo is doing better, but I'm seeing probably even fewer Wii games I'm interested in than I did GC ones... not sure about that, but it sure seems that way sometimes! And then the third-party games are all PS2 ports... it is kind of depressing. So I do probably agree that the current situation is good for Nintendo's bottom line, but not so much for core gamers on the platform...
But still, with how successful the Wii is there ARE games for gamers on it. Some people forget this, but it IS true. I know I've seen plenty of Wii games I'd like to get when looking at the shelves... it probably would be best when complimented with another gaming platform (360, PS3, PC), but it's not like EVERYTHING on the system is bad licensed games and minigame collections.
Of course the fact that there are so many games makes it harder to find the good ones, but for someone like me who loves to go to game stores and look through what they have, I don't mind that aspect of it at all. :)
