You do realize that "Ace Combat 6" and "Super Mario Galaxy" are different styles of games, right? And that... well, people have a myriad of tastes?

You don't look too hard for good games, huh?

I play my Wii, and most of my friends play their Wii, too.

Heck, my friends without a Wii play my Wii...the one reason for MP3 multiplayer would be that, I suppose.

Let's say the Wii sold 10 million and the DS sold 50% better, 15 million. That is one console every 1.2 seconds. Nintendo isn't a big company, and no company that makes accellerometers is big, either. Producing that much isn't easy.

If you could show me how Nintendo could do this, I might believe the shortages are staged, even though this critical holiday season.

I dunno, mate. I currently have 14 different Wii games, over half of which I've purchased within a week of release. I've no kids, just a wife and a zoo full of birds, cats and a dog. What can I say? It's a solid console with fun games. There's no reason to belittle the enjoyment other people find in the console just because you don't.

Just to let you know, Halo 3 can fundamentally be considered a reiteration of Halo 2 but with better graphics and a few new gameplay quirks. Thats where the improvements essentially end. Halo 3 has a mediocre storyline, plot and terrible character development. It has a non-compelling 5-7 hour single player mode(due to the poor storyline and character development) and a lackluster ending just like in Halo 2. Its graphics is shy of 720p that most Xbox 360 games usually render and its quality is distant from the that of Gears of War, which utilizes the Unreal 3 Engine(most powerful gaming graphic engine currently available). Multi-player can be fun, but it can also be unbearably annoying due to the many immature people that play on Xbox Live.

What does this all mean? It means that if you're someone who has never tried out the Halo series before, Halo 3 should definately be one of your top priorities for a 360 game. If you're one of the many people who have played Halo 2 like 10 billion times already, don't be shocked when you find that Halo 3 is really nothing new from Halo 2.

@rice_fiend.

When I see a game rated 9.5 - 10.0 I immediately think of grade-AAA calibur, revolutionary games of the likes of Half-Life 2, BioShock, Super Mario 64, Final Fantasy VII, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, etc. I see Halo 3 and my honest opinion is that Halo 3 is far from deserving such an acclaim. In fact, it probably doesn't deserve to be in the 9.0 - 9.5 range based off of the numerous disappointments that the game houses that I mentioned above. Halo 3 is a good game and had potential, but it is not great and is far from being revolutionary(think of it more as a slight improvement upon the tried-and-true formula of Halo1 and Halo2). From an impartial perspective, I would rate this game around 8.5(I for one, refuse to fluff scores because of hype factor and/or pressure); were this the 2nd game in the Halo trilogy, I would perhaps rate it more leniently. But this is the 3rd game and supposedly final game of the Halo trilogy and more is expected of it, especially with all the hype around this game.

The point is not whether or not I like or dislike the game, but whether or not this game can stand neck-to-neck with a remarkable game such as Half-Life 2 and deserve to proclaim that it is equally great.

The key words in your last comment was "I see" (You see). I have no problem with that, that is how you see things and I have respect for YOUR opinion. But, please do realize that your opinion really only have an impact (A small one) on your friends and your family. Your personal opinion has such a small impact on the rest of the planet, that it's almost not worth mentioning.

People always say a game has to be original, innovative, blah, blah, blah to be AAA. If that were the case, there would be maybe only 1 AAA game released every couple of years. There's just not that much originality and innovation left in the video game world. At least not that much that developers would want to risk their livelyhoods on. I mean, take Super Mario Galaxy; I've seen Mario before, I seen the mushrooms, and all the other stuff. I have also seen the wiimote and 3D environments. Does this mean SMG is NOT AAA? NO IT DOES NOT. (I feel it is AAA)

AAA games (IMO-remember what I said about your opinion) are games with large marketing schemes, big budgets, and really liked by the general masses to include game reviewers. I do however also feel that an AAA title should average a 9 rating (90) on all it combined reviews (metacritics would be a good example.)

Anyway, that's just my spill on it.

Edit: As far as games standing neck and neck with others...you like rice, I like potatoes, although they are both starch foods (video games) they are different and people like different things. You like shooters, I may like flight sims, so when I rate them I may give the SIM a 9.5 and the shooter an 8. While you did the opposite, then a third party came alone and game them both a 10. because he likes both genres. That's just how it is man.

Super Mario Galaxy rendered on 1080p running at an eye-blistering 60fps? That is just ludicrous.

I certainly hope you don't get a lot of hate for your comment, but you should expect some disagreement. From myself, for example. There was a time, a great time, in which "Nintendo" was synonymous with "video game". As in, "You spend all your time playing your Nintendo", even if you've never owned an NES, SNES, N64, etc, in your life. Nintendo was THE brand name for video game consoles due to solid gaming and great marketing. More than anything I think that Nintendo wants that kind of reputation back again. They do so much more than simply create Mario games, or Zelda, or Metroid, etc. Nintendo knows how to make a profit, and they know how to market.

Well, Nintendo is the 2nd largest company in japan after toyota beating out companies like Honda, Nissan, and Canon whereas Sony is no longer in the top ten list.

Just a little perspective.

I truly does depend upon what you like. I mean, I've had my fun with Sonic, Wii Sports, Super Paper Mario, Tiger Woods, Heatseeker, Boogie, Metroid Prime 3 and Dewey's Adventure all in the past two weeks, alongside playing some of my favorite Xbox 360 games, and working all week, and having a social life.

Just as an observation from what I've seen from coworkers, online friends and local friends, people who own a Wii use it quite often. I personally think it's a misconception that people buy it for Wii Sports and then discard it like a Pog. I mean, it's certainly an easy misconception to buy into, but ultimately I feel that it is a false one.
