I wondering who in here have the Wii as their main console this gen and why? Are you satisfied with Wii only or do you have PS3/360 also?

For me I only have a Wii this gen. Its my first Nintendo console sinse Famicom, after playing PS2 I went for something more interesting this gen. I especially likes the 'social' factor of the Wii, you can have great fun playing local multiplaye, and it has a lot of good single player games.

It's not my primary console currently. The wii has great games and when i get VC games it might become my primary console for a while but until the wii gets some really great RPGs it just can't become my permanent primary console. With my xbox 360 i have Lost odyssey,Tales of vesperia,The last remnant,Mass effect,Eternal sonata,and etc.

Wii is my only console this generation. I have made it work buy picking up a Xbox from last gen, now I can play games like Halo, Fable and KOTOR that I missed out on last gen. Games are cheap yet fun.

Wii is my only console but i am getting a 360 soon. I am disatisfied with the wiis games all of the wiis games that are good are casual and the core ones were all disapointments.

And i honestly have no clue what ur talking about with the local multiplayer most of the games dont even support 4 players.

360 is my main console. wii is just for back up being that a lot of games don't interest me and theres no real value to them because the lack of hard drive doesn't alllow downloadable content and theres only so few games with online play.

Mario Kart and Brawl, they both are 4 players. Pure fun and lasting appeal is like forever! + some Wii Sports. Wario Ware: Smooth Moves.

The Wii is pretty much my main console this gen but I don't think I could call myself satisfied, which is exactly why it's my secondary system, next to my PC.

Let me get this straight. If I have a 360, PS3, and a Wii and the Wii is my least favorite console out of the 3, that means I have no right to be here.

I have a Wii and a 360. I wouldn't want just a Wii this gen because of all the other games I would miss on other consoles.

For me, the Wii was a sure fire "main console" long before I actually got it. I can never miss out on Nintendo's titles, and the fact that the system is backwards compatible with the GameCube only sweetened the deal. I plan on building up a nice collection of games for it (currently at seven, which is decent, but not great), and then I'll look into getting another system. Chances are that will be the Xbox 360, but I can't say that with 100% confidence yet. Money sure would help right about now, that's for sure... :P

I have never been a one console player. But out of my current gen consoles (Wii, Ps3 and PSP), the wii is the most played by far. But i also own a very good PC. I have played more CoD:WaW(wii) than L4D, those were my winter purchases.

The Wii has and will be my main console this gen (might pick up 360 over the summer idk). I have bought some games I may not have if I had another console but that has turned out pretty well cause I have like a large majority of them.

Nah, it won't get locked. It would if it was in the PS3 or 360 forum, but system wars topics are commonplace in the Wii forum. Much to my dismay, the Wii forum has quickly become System Wars 2, with system bashing being commonplace.

The Wii is my secondary console to nothing - I don't really play it enough. :P If anything, the DS would be my primary gaming system.

The Wii is my main console this generation. I bought a PS3 in August only because they were no longer making the backwards compatible models and I didn't want one that couldn't play my PS2 games. Otherwise I would have waited a little longer to purchase a PS3. I still play my Wii more than the PS3 but it's nice not missing out on the titles that only go to the others.

I own a 360 and a wii. The 360 is my main console this gen since it has decent exclusives and really good 3rd party support (Resident evil 5 and Street Fighter 4 are gonna be AMAZING :) ). I own the wii so I have access to Nintendo's first party exclusives (mario/zelda) which imo have been lacking lately, where is starfox, zelda and kirby already? Geez

Also this DEFINETLY belongs in system wars!

I had a Wii and 360, but Wii got all my time so I sold the 360. Don't get me wrong, I played the heck outta Halo3 and I liked what they were doing with Netflix, but when you gotta choose, it's gotta be Nintendo. There aren't enough hours in the day to play even the Wii games I have, much less the old GC games I missed and the Virtual Console/WiiWare games I've downloaded (most recently World of Goo & Castlevania III). Once Wii goes HD and gets a good online system in place, I don't think there will be any reason to have anything else at all. That being said, I think I'm gonna try to find a PS2 coz I need to play God Hand and Shadow of the Colossus.

I have all three next gen systems and I play my Wii the least. I'm really disappointed with Nintendo and it's library of games. My main console has been my PS3 due to blu-ray and free online play. I would sell my Wii but I don't feel like going through the trouble. Ninendo needs to figure it out.

Wii-only, really happy with my purchase. Fragile just released a week ago and is already shipping. I'm still hooked on Tatsunoko and Taiko which I also bought recently.

In my opinion, yes.

It has also sold more consoles than the PS3 and Xbox 360 combined.

I wondering who in here have the Wii as their main console this gen and why? Are you satisfied with Wii only or do you have PS3/360 also?

FunkyOrange
The Wii is my main and only console this gen. One of the reasons I bought a Wii was that I was hoping the motion sensing would be utilized in new and interesting way. Unfortunately, there's been little innovation from developers in regards to using the controller. I do like the controller for racing games (even if it's less precise) and shooters, but there's a good selection of games with unnecessary and imprecise waggle. But I digress. For being a little over two years in, I'm happy with the games selection. We received the big three early (compared to previous Nintendo consoles) and quite a few of the other Nintendo staples have been very fun. There are even some really enjoyable third part games including some gems available on WiiWare. In the end, the titles that end up on the Sony consoles don't interest me. And, most of the 360 games (that I'm interested in) are on the PC; so I really can't justify purchasing a 360 for the 2 or 3 exclusive I'd like to play.

Wii only here. I've always been a nintendo fan and wouldn't dream of not having a nintendo system in a generation.

I've looked into getting a 360, but I just don't have the money. If there's another price drop though, we'll see. But as of right now, there just isn't enough on the system to justify the purchase.

The Wii is my main console this generation and I plan on keeping it that way. I might invest in a higher-end PC sooner or later since most of the games on the PS3/360 make their way onto the PC sooner or later.

For about a year, the Wii was my only current-gen console, but I just got an X360. The two games that I have for the Wii right now (Brawl, MK Wii) are great games, but they're really only fun to play with friends. Thankfully there are a lot of seemingly amazing games this year that will allow me to have fun with my Wii when no one else is in a gaming mood (Frontier, LKS, Sonic and TBK, etc). But having the 360 is nice because it allows for more intense games (Assassin's Creed, Oblivion, LOTR: Conquest, etc). I don't necessarily have a favorite between the two though, but I think they compliment each other quite nicely.

Wii is my main console, and pretty much the only thing i play. I might get a 360 or ps3, but that won't be for at least a year or so. I love my wii, it is all I play. The only other console I still play is my old xbox, and that is just because morrowind never gets old.

I had a 360 but sold it because it had no games that appealed to me.

Now Wii is my only console and I may say I`m very happy with it.
