"Aparently Modern Warfare 3 is out this week - and so is Skyward Sword in Europe. But I don't see queues of Modern Warfare 3 fans packing EB Games, do I?"

Maybe the reason you have seen more people queueing for skyward sword and not COD is due to the fact CODMW3 came out on the 8th Nov (Europe), which is 10 DAYS AGO.

If you're going to try to make out that Zelda was selling more than COD you just made yourself look like an idiot, regardless of how good a game the new Zelda is it will not beat MW3 for pre orders/sales etc

A handful of good games doesnt make a console good. The Wii still sucks and is home to shovelware.

No, the Wii doesn't just have a "handful" of games. Anyone who says that is simply ignorant of it's library. The Wii has plenty of good exclusives just like the other consoles.

When the Wii gets a first party gem, it tends to be really good- like "justifying the purchase of a Wii and then some" good.
Hell, if Skyward Sword is half the game I imagine it to be the Wii I bought would be money well spent.

I'm not a cod fan and I still think the wii sucks.
I also don't give two shits about how many exclusives the wii has.
Thirdly your article does suck and your arguments are invalid. ps: your hair is a bird.

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

Great console, still use it

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

Makes sense. It's been nearly 3 years since the DLC for 3 came out. The next Xenoblade or whatever they end up calling it will probably come out next year.

For me, Xenoblade 2 and 3 and Final Fantasy 7 remake and rebirth are the best JRPGs or RPGs in general ever made. Yes, they even surpassed Expedition 33 in my honest opinion. Before, the Tales series was among my favorites, but I was very disappointed with their last game, Tales of Arise. Its world has become linear and not as expansive as their previous games. Fortunately, its battle gameplay is still very good. I hope that in the next Tales game, they will expand the game even more.

Hoping for a new Xenoblade game from Monolith Soft in this year's Nintendo General Direct. And it should be a Switch 2 exclusive.

The "worst" Xenoblade game is still better than 95% of games out there. Xenoblade 2 is my favorite rpg ever. All the Xenoblade games have incredible characters, soundtracks, voice acting, stories, world design and combat (save for Xenoblade 1 whose combat, while good, is not incredible).
