Wii could top record-holding PS2

[DJBeanPole17]

imo they need better and more diverse games to top the ps2...the ps2 has everything...rpgs...sports games...fps games...adventure...hell even a mmo...I look at the wii and all I see is casual and "non games" with the occasional good first party nintendo game...

I know it's only been out for so long but it's not like their e3 conference is the talk of the show

For me... all I keep hearing about is these damn mini-games. I've played a few myself, and its alot like masturbation. It's fun, but it can only last so long. I happen to own Fuzion Frenzy, which is a collection of mini-games in itself... but it gets boring after awhile. I would like the Wii to broaden itself as well, but if (and I guess they are...) these games are so successful...

I think we'll start seeing the mini-game games start to slow down. I think there have been a lot of them so far because the devs are learning to work with the hardware, and the mini-game style is very conducive to gaining experience working on a lot of different things, if not working on any of them in-depth. Also, since the whole motion control thing is pretty new in the first place, players themselves are still having fun with all the random things you can do. As devs get more comfortable with the hardware, and the things they can do with it over the course of a "normal" game, and as players move past the initial "wow" factor of motion control and begin to want something more, we'll see the mini-games get much less frequent.

Of course, there will still be a new Mario Party game each year until the end of time...
