Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, and Metriod Prime 3 being foremost...and there IS something to be said about them being out this year, while the PS3 is still waiting on thiers.I still think we'll see the Wii develop like the DS, especially with third party games. At first, no one really knew what to do with the DS and Nintendo was just cranking out the games with anything they could think of to use the touch screen. Then, after publishers started to see what you could really DO, they began jumping in with some amazing games and it hasn't stopped. As the Wii is selling much like the DS, getting the same kind of criticisms(just a party game, too odd, a fad, not enough power compared to competitors[PSP]), and showing the same initial third party game slump...I see no reason that this won't happen.Really, there's already been talk about third party publishers starting to jump in after a few months of seeing what can be done.If the PS3 keeps waiting, its only going to keep hurting Sony. The second the Wii passes enough time to finally get past the "Its just a fad" comments, like the DS did, people will start to REALLY take notice even moreso. If Sony just relies on the PS2 to drive them, then the PS3 is going to only fall farther behind both the 360 and the Wii. The price shows no real sign of changing, and even if it does, Sony will lose even more money selling the systems.While I love the PS2, and still turn it on to play some great games all the time, I just can't get behind Sony for this generation. They're trying too hard to rely on "We're Sony, buy us because we're amazing" rather than actually...well...anything else. Nintendo's jumped back into the game and is using what they've learned from the handheld market to dominate, and whether people like it or not, this is staying strong, Wiis are still near impossible to get a hold of because people are buying them so fast. And Microsoft is watching all of this and LEARNING. They're doing what Sony should be doing, adapting. The 'kid friendly' insult for the Wii is something that MS is going to try more with their system...because its selling.While Nintendo is taking the lead, MS seems to be taking a very smart road and seeing what works, then adapting that to their system...while at the same time playing to their own strengths. Sony, however, is just trying to do the same old thing, which is failing terribly.</blockquote>
