I thought the reference to a small handful of games was more in general and not specific to single-player. There just aren't a lot of titles for the Wii...of any variety. In contrast, the 360 seems to have a constant stream of fresh games - if you like shelling out $60 a pop. Ouch.

Dear Jennifer,

"Sure, there are a very small handful of games"

I suppose I didn't qualify it correctly, but my intent was to highlight those games that are a good single-player experience. Unfortunately, those games are too few and far between to make the Wii a viable single-system for someone that won't be holding gatherings regularly.

Wow, I just realized how many times I used the word yesterday. :-\

I suppose those games are playable but FWIW, I didn't like them on NES either. I know they're both classics but I've always been more into the sports and action games.

You don't consider "Metroid Prime 3" or "Zelda: Twilight Princess" playable? They're both highly rated single-player Wii games! I admit, though, the lack of high-resolution graphics and true over-the-internet group play makes it a secondary system. Wii is the anti-Halo.

Wii has 0 playability as a single-user system. Sure, there are a very small handful of games, but most people who bought it for that purpose have now bought another system as well.
