For comparison, They are looking at 14 XBox 360 releases, 17 PS3 releases, and 29 PSP releases. But still, SEVEN Wii titles in the Wii's first 5-6 months of existence? Sweet!
The-magicbox is reporting this as wellunder their May 21 news.

Or go all out and make a uber spiffy one for the Wii with at least Hokuto No Ken the fighting game graphics throughout...

Shinobi, Alex Kidd, Phantasy Star Online, Puyo Pop
Sega's got mad franchises.

"Hey guys, lets make a system that isn't designed for 3D games, then surprise everyone by launching it without telling anyone!"

A lot of those PS3 and 360 titles might just be multi-platform versions of the exact same game.
While most if not all of the Wii titles are likely exclusives built around the new controller.
Sheer number of titles doesn't make a difference as much as exclusiveness and quality does.
We're getting an EXCLUSIVE Sonic title and an EXCLUSIVE Super Monkey Ball title.
Those are two of the few Sega franchises that actually sell.
The majority of those other titles spanning the several consoles and handhelds are likely just going to bomb anyway.

Anyway, Wii's gonna have to EARN Panzer Dragoon with strong launch sales, I think. Jet Grind Radio seems tuned for Wii, eh?

Exactly, look at the GCN: Sega gave us Billy Hatcher, a PSO Card Game, Monkey Ball, and a port of Sonic Adventure 2 as "exclusives"... Sega does not seem to care much for Nintendo, regardless of the fact that their non-sports games sell the best on the system. It would be foolish to assume that stuff like Panzer Dragoon has much of a chance of showing up on the system simply from their mentality in the past.

Let's just be thankful that - unlike Microsoft - Nintendo isn't dumb enough to give them out in exchange for certain Sega titles that don't sell anyway.

Oh, right, Billy Hatcher. They're currently selling the PC version of that for 20 Euros.

Everything after that, with the possible exception of SMB2, was total, utter crap.
I have ZERO faith in Sega to create anything worthwhile. As a child, I worshiped Sonic like a god but now that Sega has seen it fit to whore him out to every goddamn console ever dreamt (even the ill-fated N-gage), he's basically dead to me. I bet there was a Sonic game in the planning stages for the Phantom.
Seriously, f*ck Sega. They have all the business know-how of a drunken hobo and I can't understand why Sammy would effectively buy a sinking ship.

You definitely sound like a fanboy that's been betrayed by his own gods...
Not that I blame you or anything. Sega HAS been sucking hard in the past couple of years.

It's like being in love with a drug addict: if they want to destroy themselves, there's nothing you can do but detach yourself from them emotionally because, in the end, you have no control over their actions.

For example, people often claim the same thing to happen with Nintendo. But I've felt that that's because those people are expecting something from Nintendo that they shouldn't expect from Nintendo at all. Sorta like, if your girlfriend/boyfriend wants children and you don't, only bad things can come from wanting those things out of them, or blaming them for what is basically your inability to listen to what they're telling you...
ANYWAYS... I myself wasn't disappointed when Nintendo lost the market lead, I wasn't upset by higher N64 cart prices... the only time I've felt abused by Nintendo was when I felt that they sold-short and demeaned their potential by half-assing a game that I knew they really had it in them to do better. But as my understanding of Nintendo improves, I am less and less worried about them "shooting themselves in the foot," I don't care if they're perenially third-place, I'm actually willing to consider buying another system (whether I can afford it is another matter).

The only thing I expect from Nintendo is my Game and Watch e-cards.
I'm disapointed in you, Nintendo.

But seriously, all the core gameplay benefits of e-cards AND MORE will be provided by the download service. The only thing we're really losing is the brick-and-mortar collectable trading card game aspect, and the "look at my full album" aspect, and the I-can-use-it-in-ten-years-as long-as-my-GBA, GC, AC game, E-reader work-and-my-cards-aren't-wrinkled aspect.

They are too willing to let their product be dictated by current trends (Shadow the Hedgehog).
They aren't the best business-minded company (Constant Genesis add-ons, The pitiful launch of the Saturn).
Their current "transitional period" that has lasted for almost 5 years (poorly executed ports to third party systems).
Their design teams are constantly restructuring (the abolishment of 4 teams)
The loss of their product's "soul" (you could always tell a Sega game by its art style, but now they are becoming increasingly generic).
