is it worth trading my 360 for a wii?

ive always been a nintendo fan. In fact, last year i had a wii, but sold becuse of the lack of games and got my 360..... after a year ive seen the wii really come to itelf with games like metroid prime 3, mario alaxy, super paper mario etc... plus a solid gamecube install base since i never owned gamecube. The thing is, am considering trading in my 360 fir a wii, and am just wondering if its worth it?

also how does 2008 look for the wii? i dont want it collecting dust...i really hate that.

iwouldkeepur360andgetawii

In my humblest of opinions, there are way too many AAA 360 games coming out this holiday.
Think about it; Assassins Creed(which im playing now, best game on 360 so far), Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect and not
to forget the new Soldier of Fortune. Wait Ninja Gaiden 2??? Awsuummm! Just my opinion

you should'nt have sold ur wii oh well check what games u might want to buy and see if its worth it *cough cough*WORTH IT*cough*

:D

Look at the games

360 Has:

Assassin's Creed, Bioshock, COD 4, Gears of War, and Oblivian.

Wii Has:

Twilight Princess, super mario galaxy, metroid prime 3, super paper mario, resident evil 4, and soon SSBB and MK Wii.

Its up to you what you would rather have. I chose the wii, but I understand why people like thier x-boxs.

get the wii

next year theres Brawl, Okami, Mario Kart, and some others

Do what you want to do. I'm still not interested on the 360. My PC does makethe job since it has most 360 games on it. I'm only interested on Eternal Sonata and Blue Dragon. I participate on many events to win a 360 just for Eternal Sonata and Blue Dragon. I don't want to waste my money on Microsoft. I hate Microsoft with passion. Win the console and then I would probably sell it.

The only console I did sell and never regret was the PS2.When I sold my SNES, itwas the biggest mistake I made.

no keep it

Wii handles differently from the other games console and as such, you get better game play satisfaction on some games more than other consoles. also its great fun if you have friends or family to be entertain with, ie family friendly.

Its controls are different and as such, you can play games that are available for the other consoles as well as special dedicated ones for the Wii. Most definite that the Wii is here to stay and yes there aren't that many titles but they'll be coming. the only thing that sucks is that the AA battery gets drained pretty quickly so i suggest that u get rechargeable batteries.

Dont sell anything, just keep the 360 and save up some money for the Wii, you'll regret it, you'll be missing the best that the industry have to offer, so make and effort and get the wii without selling your 360.

Or you can sell it to me to a very good price...:D

Keep it.

Logic wins.

I think you get your Wii back to it's home buddy! The Wii may have suffered under hype the first go around but take a peek at what's coming out: Guitar Hero 3 (already out but great with Wii exclusive extras), Super Mario Galaxy (the reason everyone bought the Wii - coming out tomorrow), Super Smash Bros Brawl (online capabilities taken to next level on Nintendo's next gen console) Medal of Honor Heroes 2 (32 player online!), Metroid Prime 3 (excellent action/shooter title), Mario Kart Wii (just imagine the possibilities), Wii Music (oh yeah), Guitar Villain/Drum Hero/Drum Villain (slated for next year release), and a truckload of other incredible titles to increase your bookshelf of Wii titles and to burn a hole in wallet. So I think sticking with Wii for a while is a safe bet. I also have a 360 and it's given me great games with great experiences, but the lack of trust is an issue. Many of my friends have suffered the Red Ring of Death, and I know my baby will have it's time. So with the fact that the Wii is pretty much future prrof, I'm sticking with it for it's time around the track. But I thoroughly enjoy both consoles, so I hope that makes things a little easier: Great AAA titles - AAAA - for Wii on the way, just be patient or go down the path of the 360 and wind up with a steady flow of quality games. (Remember, I own both consoles, so biased on this thread isnt part of what I want accomplished) Good Luck!SilentCapybara

he said it all! but to sum it up, super smash bros brawl, 'nuff said

Just to put it out there...

360: Bioshock, Halo 3, Oblivion, Rainbo Six, GRAW, Splinter Cell, CoD, Viva Pinata, Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Kane and Lynch, and a great online system.

Wii: Mario Galaxy, MP3, Super Paper Mario, Zelda, and Strikers.

Well, being a Sony/Nintendo fan myself, and not being much of a fan of the 360, I would say yes. You have more than enough great games out, and coming out in the months of November, and for 2008, you already have announced Disaster: Day of Crisis, No More Heroes, Sadness, Mario Kart Wii, and Brawl. Those are the big gaming announcements. I would not be surprised if Pikmin made it's way, and more wanted games.

On the other hand, Assassin's Creed is coming soon, and so are a bunch of other games, and you need either a PS3/360 for Resident Evil 5, so one of those is a must have. I say in order to have the best gaming experince this gen, you need to own a Wii and one other, a PS3 or 360. For me it is a PS3 when I get one this summer, but really I would say whatever you decided to do, you need both.

Hope this helped. :)

wow...maybe learn a little patience...what a waste of money.

just keep whatever you have and get a wii down the road if you have the money. you've probably already lost enough for at least 1 extra game. just wait. consoles will collect dust, you can't expect to have a game that you want to play every day. or just find another hobby.

It really depends on the type of games you like? The 360 has a ton of great exclusives like Gears, Halo, Mass Effect and Bioshock but if your into games like Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart then i would say yes but the 360 is just awesome so really think about it

the TC posted this in November of 07, so i doubt he needs advice 7 months later.

someone lock this thread down.

Keep your 360, and save money for a Wii. If you don't have a job... get a job just to buy a Wii.

he asked this question 7 months ago, i doubt he still revisits this thread. :P

someone really should lock this thread though, where's a mod when you need them. ;)

You should not have posted a question like this in a wii fourm!!!! What knid of answers are you really looking for. You allready have a lot of responses but heres mine. I own both. I dont play both. The strategy wii developers are taking is basicaly trash. I have been disapointed in almost every game (not including a few ports and staple franchises, mario and zelda) I cant even see any decent games coming in the next few months (that are wii exclusive) heres what is coming to Xbox this month that looks fantastic, Alone in the dark, Ninja Gaiden II, Guitar hero:ariosmith,Battlefeild bad company and Unreal III on 7-7. If these dont intrest you I think we may be on two diffrent wavelengths but the choice to me seems obvious.

However!!!!!!!!!! You need to play LoZ:TP (the last zelda game) and to do that cheap just get a gamecube and a game. (It was the only reason I bought my wii and it still sadly seems to be that way:()

My suggestion is to keep your 360 that way. Save more money and buy another Wii.

If you trade 360 for wii, then if wii has slow games release youll start thinking about 360 again.

Yes I would do it. If your a fan of Nintendo series games and dont really care for online that much, get the Wii. It has way better single player games then the 360 in my opinion.
