Majority of gamers only considering the current generation shocker.

Anyway. Wii is awesome and has been easily more fun than HD multiplatform games. "lol Wii has no real games" is not only ignorant but a total fallacy. I'm surprised by this result because Game have barely stocked any Wii games for about 3 years.

I must say, the elitist attitude towards other peoples gaming preferences in this thread incredibly off-putting. The Wii is a fine console, and it has more to offer than Wii Sports or Mario Kart Wii.
In fact, in my opinion, the Wii has a great gaming library for people who enjoy the classic, almost arcade-style of games, compared to the modern story-driven action games that are mainly prevalent on the PS360 consoles.
Well, I agree that there's more to the Wii than Sports/kart - I am currently (again) culling all my games down and the wii had a pretty big number of games I wanted to keep (Mario galaxy 1/2, geowars galaxies, Xeno, pandora, last story, sky crawlers, sin and pun 2, etc etc) That said as a rebut I'd also say the idea that the "compared to the story-driven action game" part of the post is way wide of the mark - maybe it's true in terms of overall games library percentages but , simply put, if you can't find -at least- an equal number of arcade style games on the x360/ps3 (x360 especially given xbla) then I don't know what to tell you.

Again though - zero surprises that wii is top of this poll.

I'd actually like to know what everyone's Wii favorites are. I own a Wii, but don't play it enough. I know there are many appealing games on it, even from a "hardcore gaming" standpoint (whatever that is :)). Like how is Trauma Team? Anyone invested much time into Ivy the Kiwi? Lost in Shadow? What should I be checking out?

And what'd everyone think of F.A.S.T.? I loved the presentation, but felt it was a bit stiff and I don't know if the switching gimmick did much for me. Of course, I couldn't get all that far in it. Hard game.

I didn't think the Wii was that bad, it had some good games :)
