yah. But by all accounts the GC sucked. Lame controler, an overall lack of quality games, no RPG love, and maybe 4 M rated games.. Almost all of which were REs... (not counting terrible movie license games, I'm sure some of them were M rated)
Not that M rated games make a console, it is just that the GC had this very kid-related reputation. Everyone is playing, and enjoying the Wii.
They just need to stop screwing the 3rd party people with no Mii ability and other things... That is the only way they will lose, by not having good 3rd party devs working on it. Especially western ones.
One thing I've really noticed about a lot of the 360 and Ps3 games is that they don't work on a standard TV.. I mean.. they play, but everything is too small to be seen... Like text. I have serious trouble reading anything in the promos I see in either commercials or on shows like Xplay. That, and it doesn't look all that good to me. Lots of geometry, but all of it looks glassy and bad... Granted, that was true of most of the games on the Xbox too.. I remember looking at morrowind and thinking "Is the whole place covered in glass?" and I felt the same way with Oblivion in a lot of places.. So I turned what was doing it off and it looked SO much better.
I think the games on the Wii look better. These other games seem to have ditched a lot of the rules of good design with their players being invisible due to lighting, or with other 'realism' touches that make the game harder to play... I find that to be bullshit. Hell.. Some 360 games have this strange dust storm effect that obfuscates the player's view... and not just in places where there is down time.. Right in the middle of a battle...
