But the question will be if the wii has any more great, must have games for it. So far, its basically a console for Wii sports and Zelda-Twilight Princess. Two games won't give it any longevity. They need more fun games. The wii had a great launch because it was fun. It also attracted groups other than teenage boys/hardcore gamers. My worry for the wii is that they won't be able to follow-up on Wii sports. If the Wii has no staying power, it will be because it couldn't do it.

When the PS3 launched, that seemed to be the main selling point, how great the graphics were, and it didn't do so well. Many failed systems had the 'best graphics' in their day, and still failed.


Yeah the Nintendo Wii has a poor selection of games to begin with, while the X-Box 360 and the PS3 are the superior consoles. GTA IV, Gran Turismo 5, Ridge Racer 6, Project Gotham Racing 4 and Pro Evo 7 are all examples on how they will suceed better than the Wii's wimpy paled in comparison games.
