Well, I just sold my Wii, and kind of regretting it a bit. I love the console but it's just lacking right now, and knowing that the new Mario, MP3 and the VC is heating up, I kind of regret it. I'm using the money to help buy a PS3 *prepares to duck the punches*. But yeah, does anybody else feel like me? Like they love the Wii but the fact there is hardly any online play, and there arent many great great games out for it right now makes them not like it so much? Oh well, I'll buy another Wii when they price drop... but does anybody feel like I do??? IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME?!?! lol.

Well, I mean, the PS3 has alot of good games coming out soon too... and they actually include online play. I dunno, it just kills me to finish the campaigns on the Wii and then be done with it... I'm used to the endless replay value of online play after beating a campaign. I know what you mean though... but the upcoming PS3 line up just interests me more than the Wii's. DONT GET ME WRONG - I LOVE THE WII... I just feel like it's lacking right now.

Well, I disagree with your decision. My question is, how long have you been involved in console gaming.

Anyone who's been in it long enough understands that unless you want to wait for games, don't buy one before the console has been out for a year, and sure as hell don't get rid of your old stuff just to buy the latest new fangled gadget.

I love Nintendo. I love Nintendo games. But I also love games in general, Nintendo is just my favorite because I grew up with them.

I enjoy the Wii, wish there were more games, but I'm spending a lot of time catching up on games I've missed and expanding my collection. I've spent more time playing Gcn and PS2 since I got my Wii than I have playing the Wii. But I know that it won't forever be that way.

I think the Wii is a great console that will have some amazing experiences only possible on the Wii. However, I'm too much of a gamer to limit myself to one console. Eventually, I'll have a 360 (probably christmas time) and by then a lot of great game will be cheap and I'll have plenty to choose from and keep me busy, on the Wii and 360 combined.

I've been gaming since the NES days... I owned that, SNES, then switched to the Playstation generation. I do love the Wii, and I know eventuallyit will have a great library, I justwant to get a PS3 whilethey're 500, lol. I'm grateful for the Wii though, this generation would probably be pretty boring without it.

Lol, you wanted to get one while its still 500 dollars? You know eventually the price will be lower than that. I really don't think its going any where.

I'm very Anti-sony. I havn't been this way very long, but they've just really pissed me off over the last 2 years or so. I bought a PS2 for Guitar Hero, and found a lot of awesome games I enjoy. Ace Combat series, God of War series, the usual suscepts included. I'd hate to thing I'll miss out on playing MGS4 or GoW3, but honestly thats all the PS3 has that interests me.

Going with Nintendo was a sure fire bet to me. I've sat back and watched the other two duke it out, and I see more promise in the 360, a lot more than I did when it launched. I basically blew microsoft off then and said I guess I'll wait to see what sony has, and sony dropped the ball. Wii60 will be good enough for me, and perhaps one day I find a PS3 in a yard sell I'll pick it up. But I think thats a long ways off.

Lol, I actually own a 360, I play Gears of War alot, but other than that, I dont like spending much money on it cause it's broken down on me twice. Only thing about PC games is my computer isnt powerful enought to handle alot of games, andI dont know all about video cards and all that stuff, so I'm a console jockey I guess, lol.

i'd say bad decision cause the good games are coming out by end of this year so you should have kept it (unless your area has plenty of wii's). and the ps3 library isnt that good. I guess the upcoming games are good but it's not my kind of games so i would have never bought a ps3. Should wait until a price drop if you're looking for ps3 games of the future, we never know when it might happen. and maybe even sales since ps3 has decent stock in many stores.

If you want to buy a new Wii, it's now or never. Prepare for another shortage very soon since the big 3is coming this year. Also, don't expect a price drop for at least another year. Also, you want Metroid Prime 3 and it's coming next week.

Yes, you are stupid.

I have both the PS3 and Wii and i dont think the decision you made is a bad one the PS3 is a great system anyone who doubts that does not have one the online service is alot better then the Wii aswell there is heaps of music videos and demos and game demos which you can download all for free!!! and you can get Granturismo HD download for free. I thought you would have to pay for resistance online aswell but that is also free!!! The ps3 has moved up a big notch with all the free stuff they have on the online service these days. The Wii better put it into top gear!!!

Well No offence but, Ps3 doesnt have any good games out right now either, so to me it wasnt the smartest idea, my reasoning is because theirs also some online games coming out on the wii as well, so far we have had Mario Striker, Pokemon Revolution, and Madden 08, right now I dunno how many Ps3 games are out that actually have online play. Now im not that big of a fan of sony or anything so I dont keep up with what games are gonna be online or not for the Ps3. Theirs going to be pretty many good Wii games out by the end of the year. Oh and by the way.. *Punches*

This thread really belongs in the System Wars forum. As you can see by many of the replies, this type of thread usually turns into a console-comparison thread. That's not always necessarily a bad thing, but system comparisons are only allowed in the System Wars forum, because they often tend to degenerate into flame fests in the system-specific forums.

Hope you understand. If not, PM me. :)
