I think it would be totally weird to play Double Agent with a Wii controller, but I could be totally wrong. It might come in handy for the new Tony Hawk game though. Would so love to try it out!

Holy cow, I had no idea the Wii had so many titles the week of the launch! Most of them are licensed games, but i think it matches the number of gamecube titles that are out there.

I was already headed to the store to pick up Gears of War (intentionally waited until this week so I didn't have to make a second trip) and the new WWE game, but DOA XVB2 is out too? Bah, money is overrated.

Man, I have a 360, but that list for 360 is mighty weak, but we did get Gears of War, Call of Duty 3, and Tony Hawks P8 last week, so I guess it's ok.

My god. I wonder what is the record for games released in a month.....

I would venture to say that November 2006 is the busiest month in gaming history, and that this week is the busiest week of gaming history.

Any historians out there?

Nintendo wins the console war release. Why would anyone want to buy a PS3 now? There are NO good games yet. The games PS3 has are available on the Xbox360. And their exclusive titles are previewed as being piles of turd. Where is MGS or Gran Turismo? Sony loses this round. I cant wait to play Zelda and Trauma Center.

We were at Toys 'R Us yesterday, my daughter comes running up to me with a box in her hand. "LOOK! I got one! I got a Wii! there were only two left! Can we get it?"
Sadly (for her) it was only the display box, but I had a good laugh...

All the PS3s available will sell out and then many will resell with large markups so why don't ypou ask that question of the pople who buy them? They obviously have their reasons.

Resistance isn't on the 360, is it? No, so you're factually incorrect as well as being a pathetic fanboy. Link to the preview saying Resistance is a turd... oh there aren't any. Go give your Wiimote a blowjob.

You know, if Barbie: 12 Dancing Princesses came out on the Gamecube, we'd see a whole bunch of people talk about how the 'Cube was such a kiddie system. But it's strangely silent since it's a PS2 exclusive.

Still, Final Fantasy III DS... aw yeah, can I get me a high five for that?

"NBA Live '07 - EA has cancelled the PS3 version, allegedly to focus on NBA Street: Homecourt (due early next year). Others believe EA yanked the project due to the ill-reception of already-released versions. "

Yes, you blogged the above on "4 More Titles Fall from PS3 launch" or some such.

So is it coming out or isn't it? Please let us know the troof (truth)!

for someone who has a blog to highlight the positive aspects of gamers... that sure is a negative comment.

i realize it's just your opinion and you're entitled to it but what's the point of posting it here other than to stir up negativity between gamers?
there's a lot of people out there who are pretty excited about the PS3, why do you need to come down on their console choice by insulting the launch titles?

i had to wait over six months for a 360 game that i was actually looking forward to playing... and if (god forbid) you're not a fan of zelda the Wii launch may not be that enticing either.

should we call both of those launch lineups pathetic as well? or perhaps we could actually be positive about what we're looking forward to and not denigrate our fellow gamers.

just a suggestion.

*high five's 32_Footsteps*

I'm also getting Yoshi's Island 2 and Sonic the Hedgehog. I'd like to get Blitz, but not if it has the same load times it had on PS2.

Between all this, college and work, I don't think I'm going to have much time for anything else. Oh well, sleep is as overrated as money.

Not a fanboy, but if you are going to pay $600 for a console and the only real exclusive game is Resistance, I would have to say that it is pretty weak. I thought Sony was suppose to be the video game industry leader. By the way NBA 07 is not live 07.

I will get a PS3 and if I have to wait a few months until real games like God of War, Devil May Cry and GT comes out, then so be it.

They sold fewer PS3 games in Japan than PS3s. Some Japanese would prefer to play with the PS3's GUI than play any of those games!

Thats because PS2 also has GTA3 and HotCoffee (among others)... lets see that with a wiimote. And, its a PS2 exclusive because its cheap to develop for and its got over 5x the install base of GameCube (and continues to grow).

at #31, Flit: As if there aren't enough arguments going on at Joystiq? God, people will complain about every single thing ever on this site. That being (hypocritically) said, why is saturday considered a 'weekend' day if it is not in fact at the end of the week? saturday and sunday are the 'weekends' because there is one at each end of the week. monday is not a weekend day (as much as I would like to convince my boss that it is)

OH!
Thanks for the clarification on the NBA 07 versus NBA Live 07.

Dre (#28), I thought God of War 2, the game you are going to wait for on the PS3, is coming to the PS2. I remember hearing that from the developer, did they change it?

i've been waiting almost 2 years to play The Legend of Zelda:Twilight Princess. Nintendo made this the single most important launch game since Super Mario 64. Lets hope that it makes all gamers proud.

- Resistance: Fall of Man

All a system needs at launch is just one game to carry it to the top stop for an entire generation, right? Super Mario 64 did, didn't it?

That PS3 price drop just can't come fast enough, can it?

right now, The Wii games are like gamecube games, just with the new control scheme. I figure that's why there are so many Wii games out while there are NO Gamecube games on that list.

Obviously developers just tacked on the motion controls and released their games on the Wii rather than the Gamecube. Everyone talks about how the DS is the template for the Wii and Nintendo's new direction. Remember how the DS's first games were nothing but lame GBA games with touch controls? I see these Wii games being like that. Despite the variety, it's not enough to get excited about.

Not a fanboy either way, but just found this and thought it might be worth mentioning:

"We asked NVIDIA how long it would take until we saw a GPU faster than the RSX. Their answer: by the time the PS3 ships. So congratulations to NVIDIA for making the PS3 obsolete before it ever shipped, as G80 is truly a beast."

How are the PS3 games any different. Sure, some of the Wii games are just GC games but they've never denied for a minute that they weren't. The controller is the real change, not the updated graphics. Its easy to switch over a game from GC to Wii as they have the same basic architecture and since that took no time at all, they had plenty of time to change the controls around to fit with the Wii more.

With the PS3, how does having 80% ports and rehashes at launch show the true power of their system?

JRM, that's not quite true. A few of those games (Trauma Center, Red Steel, Monkey Ball, Metal Slug Anthology, and Excite Truck) were originally Gamecube games. They may have been developed originally on Gamecube Dev kits (as that's all developers had originally), but I doubt they were originally planned for the Cube.
