I've had a Wii now for about 5 months and It has really lost its appeal to me because its games just don't get me to want to play them and the controller doesn't give me the option of playing video games like I used to (excluding the VC) on the Gamecube so i was thinking about selling my Wii to get a 360 because so far of what I've heard the 360 has some awesome game and since I have an HDTV that works in 1080i and 1080p it would have awesome graphics for me too so I'd like a little opinion on what I should do....

well do you want a more gameplay oriented console, or graphics/online oriented console

keep in mind the 360 is a lot more money ($400 premium, or $480 for the elite)

i have both, and to tell the truth I play the 360 more

Depends on your game tastes. Remember, it has taken the 360 well over a year to start to get some of

it's big game titles. Give the Wii that same time.

My truthful answer is- if you're not satisfied with a system, don't force yourself to keep it or like it. If one day in the future, things have turned around, you can pick one up then.

Never sell a gaming system... unless its the dreamcast :(

but really... the Wii has some great stuff coming out that you will miss, but it all comes down to what games do you really want the most! I own both and I play my 360 more right now, but that will all change come this august!

They needed to upgrade more than the controller so it could at least handle ports of the big new games, instead of seeing all the major projects go elsewhere whilst Wii is left with sloppy seconds that Gamecube could handle at a push. A little more RAM here and a couple hundred more mhz there doesn't cut it, especially at the price they've charged. It didn't need to support HD or be as powerful as the rest just significantly better than last-gen that could handle the big new 3rd party productions (and it could have achieved this for the same price). I still love what it offers me, its fresh and cool. It just makes me sigh sometimes.

Try to get both. I have both consoles, and its really great. Besides, some great Wii games might come out, and you'll be kicking yourself if you miss out.

I have a 360, but no Wii. My friend has one though... Wii's are much better for playing in a group, and pretty dang fun with the kooky controller. The 360 has better multiplayer and a bunch of fancy big budget games coming out through the year. Up to you which you get, but I wouldn't get rid of a Wii if you have one. That little thing is fun.

Why did you get a Wii if you aren't interested in the upcoming games for it?  If you're bored, go read a book.

Sell your Wii? Only a fool would do that....

keep heart, alot of great games are out now, just try some games you would not normally..............

The 360 is ok (i guess............), but all it offers are good graphics and boring mainstream titles............................

My Xbox 360 is my main console, probably always will, while the Wii is more of my secondary.  I'll still play the Wii a lot though.

honeslty xbox 360 games, are at best... short

they have very short attention spans, waaaaay worse than the wii

I know a hardcore microsoft fan, who bought a 360, played it for 2 days and hasn't really touched it since (4 games btw, of which were oblivion and Gears of War)

sadly it just seems to be this generation so far...

The 360 still sucks for me. All I want to play is Blue Dragon. Halo, GTA and Gears of War can go to hell. I think Sagakuchi made a huge mistake to put the game on that console. Also, if I want to play online, it's on my PC I would play. For me, the 360 is like the 3rd or 4th system I would play.

Personally I'd look into a ps3 if I were you. I'm not a fan boy or anything (I own all 3 systems) but if you are a little bored with your wii a ps3 could be the ticket. In my opinion it gives you the best of the high definition that you wanted especially with the blu-ray. Its an extra $200 but that way youll have both the simple wii packed with fun and youll enjoy the powerhouse console with all the great festures. You cannot really go wrong with a 360 but I was just saying that the best 360 is 480 then 50 for online so its 530 w/o blu-ray. Also keep your eyes peeled for an 80 gig ps3 that could maybe be coming to North America.

Believe me above poster, blu-ray isn't going to work, HD-DVD is going to win the format war, so if blu-ray loses PS3 will lose.

Oh and please dude........ DONT SELL YOUR WII!!!!!!!!! GET A 360 ITS A WONDERFULL CONSOLE....

i was thinking about selling my Wii to get a 360 because so far of what I've heard the 360 has some awesome game LazyLepricon


Just out of curiosity, what were you thinking of picking up on the 360? I was thinking of getting one as well (definately never selling my Wii), but I realized Halo3 was the only game that interested me - and that was only for the mutliplayer when I go back to college next semester. I ended up buying Oblivion for the PC, because I wasn't about to cough up the money for a console on which I'd get two games. It just seemed there wasn't anything left to look into, as I don't care much for more than a couple FPSs.
