That was me...
Wii has been out for about a year and a half...

There are... 8 titles with an 80% or above that are not credited to Nintendo, 2 of which are ports of games from last generation.

Resident Evil 4
Guitar Hero 3
Zack & Wiki
No More Heroes
Bully
Madden '07
Trauma Center: Second Opinion
Geometry Wars

At this point in Gamecube's life cycle, it had... 27 of them.

Tony Hawk 3
Star Wars Rogue Squadron 2
Madden '02
Super Monkey Ball
SSX Tricky
Resident Evil
Tiger Woods PGA Tour '03
Madden '03
NFL2K3
Timesplitters 2
Tony Hawk 4
Aggressive Inline
Super Monkey Ball 2
NBA Street
Resident Evil 0
All-Star Baseball '03
Sega Soccer Slam
Phantasy Star Online 1 & 2
Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance
FIFA Soccer '03
James Bond: Nightfire
Burnout 2
Splinter Cell
Ikaruga
Skies of Arcadia Legends
The Sims
Def Jam Vendetta

Even when it comes to games credited to Nintendo, Wii has 6 with a score of 80% or higher, Gamecube had 9...
Although Wii Sports, which many people like and, let's the honest, is the only reason the console is selling like it is, only scored ~75% positive reviews...

I sold my Wii to some DC yuppie who knew nothing about video games, but "Played Wii Sports at a friend's house while drunk and just had to get one."...

I mean, Wii has already surpassed GameCube's worldwide sales...
Of course, GameCube didn't get a constant stream of media attention about it's "innovative proprietary disc format" and "A controller so amazingly ergonomic that even the elderly are getting in on the fun!"...
