The good folk at Joystiq have touched upon a really sensitive topic - Is the novelty of the Wii wearing thin after the initial euphoria that followed after the launch period? There is seemingly a “drought” in terms of game titles being released for the Wii, and there will be a certain segment of the Wii population who have gotten tired of bowling the 759th frame in Wii Bowling. What are your views on this? Is the Wii really that short on new titles to keep gamers entertained, or is this just some rant from the hardcore community?

Most people hardly have long amounts of time to invest in gaming, which could explain why there is not much complaints about a lack of titles for Nintendo’s latest console. Do bear in mind that this is still a new product, and it takes a good year or so before quality titles get released on a more consistent basis. Some of the more anticipated titles to come in the coming year includes Paper Mario, Sonic, and Super Mario Galaxy, so when those are released, perhaps talk of a “drought” will be quelled.

Personally, I really wonder why everybody and their consoles can’t get along with each other. It is not as if anyone is putting a knife to your throat, forcing you to stick to one brand of consoles. After all, there is a little something for everybody across all three, and the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii have very different games (more pronounced with the Wii compared with the Xbox 360 and PS3 of course) that will appeal to a bunch of people. You don’t see every home relying solely on Sony or Panasonic for their home entertainment options, so why not apply that carefree standard to the world of consoles?
