Nintendo has upset me there. The wii is a good console, but the vast majority of the games are crap...
To tell the truth... I could see a game like this coming out for the wii some day.

To me, that's not necessarily any more boring than Grand Theft Auto, for example.

From a consumer's viewpoint, then no.
From a business viewpoint, then yes.
Exclusives build competition and stuff like that. I'm a 360 guy and I'm glad that they get the most and better exclusives, but at the end of the day there are some PS games that I wish I had and I love it when they lose their exclusives so I guess I'm all for non exclusives.

The Best Buy I go to has a line of about 10 clearance boxes leading up to the registers, all filled with 10-20 dollar Wii crap. 🙄
I waited in the cold for 4 hours when the Wii came out, now it just collects dust. 🙁
the wii isn't meant for the kind of gamer who plays halo, CoD, resi etc....face it...it's designed for non gamers and people wanting something fun to do at parties when they're drunk (although me and my mates normally just go for rockband or guitar hero)
i think it'll go more application based stuff than traditional games...stuff like wii fit and brain training etc
stuff that you just don't get on other consoles...and stuff that is appealing to a different demographic
nintendo must be doing something right with their brain training type aps because i even had my 58 year old mother asking for a DS lite for christmas
this is quite funny though...the typical "gamer"'s view of the wii games
As I said before, "Hardcore gamers" aren't defined by the kind of game they play, but by their passion for games in general.
People who think they're hardcore gamers because they play Grand Theft Auto, spend copious amounts of time on Halo online, or do nothing but play games with "realistic" graphics are not necessarily any more hardcore than Nintendo fans.

Your taste in games seems questionable, to me.
If you like Grand Theft Auto, then likewise.

I don't think exclusives build competition at all. As were seeing MS do by buying all the good games up, its decreasing competition.
With no exclusive rights, its starts console makers creating consoles that will sell based on what the console does and not the games. This creates competition and provides better product. If there was no exclusives at all, who would buy a 360 over a PS3 knowing the RROD issues?
To an extent, it will lessen the amount of shitty games to a small degree.
No exclusives could be a great thing for gamers.

And I piss on Final Fantasy for going multi-platform.**** that!!
Oh get over it, don't forget FF was on Nintendo first and still holds the most exclusive FF games in that regard compared to the Playstation, simple fact Square realised it would be in there best interests to port it to the 360, I honestly don't get the big deal and why so many FF fans are crying over it, it's not like there going to destroy there repetitive FF games by trying something new for XIII and making it "worse."

No exclusives = no competition.
No competition = less consumer choices

No. It's just that they had no idea what impact that move had to Sony's PS3 platform.No exclusives = no competition.
No competition = less consumer choices
No exclusives = more competition about price, performance, additions
More competition on price, performance, etc. = lucky consumers.
Exclusives = Competition on which games the console acquires
Competition about games = consumers losing out at the other end

Further, exclusives also remove consumer choice, since there is no choice: You either play this game on this console, or you don't play it at all.
The simple fact is that consumers should want as many games as possible to be multiplatform, because it allows more people to play the game, makes more games available on your choice of platform, and causes console developers to make games more attractive on their console in various ways, be it price, performance, or additional material.
Inversely, the industry should be in favor of exclusives, because it denies their direct competition revenue and increases their own.
Consumers who personally support exclusives are doing so out of brand loyalty (a silly concept in itself, as the gamer's focus should be, well, games).
