Revision as of 17:15, 12 July 2007
For some people's complaints about Nintendo not focusing on "real" games enough, it seems they've got more than they did with GamCube, even before we know what they'll show at E3. For GameCube I think I've got all NOA-released titles for 2001 and 2002. For Wii I've listed titles with 2007 NOA release dates.
Series showing up on both; a wash

Italicizing those titles that frequently get derided for being nongames, kiddy games, or minigame fests by the hardcore, Wii leads GameCube on both counts.
