Now that I have your attention.

I also have the 360, the Wii and a PC that can play today's games. I also had all of last generation consoles, too.

I'm not here to brag, I'm here to educate. When it came to my PC and all the last generation consoles, I "didn't" have a favorite. I simply went to the system, the game I wanted to play, was for. When it cam to cross platform games, I usually stuck to the platform the game was originally designed for or what seemed to work best for me. So on a game level, the system wasn't the issue, it was always the game. It's human nature to be biased towards what you sunk your hard earned money into.

Since I own all of the next-gen hardware, the same holds true. Each system give me that unique WOW as well as the occasional WTF.

I must give one system a little extra "Way to go, good Job". That system is the Wii. What the Wii has done, for the first time ever, is given me the opportunity to play video games with my wife and people who never play video games (or other wise shun video games). Once they see you waving that wand around in Wii sports, they're like, "Let me try that". The trick is to make a Mii of them, ahead of time (oh, look at that, there you are...). These same people, their eyes will glaze over when I show them the amazing graphics in the 360 and the PS3 games I play. The Wii may other wise, bridge the gap, for people who don't play video games, to now test the waters. For them, it's like the training wheels and once they get over their fear/bias of video games, they'll be stepping up to even other bigger games and possibly bigger systems.

Looking forward to playing...

1) Bioshock: 360
2) Heavenly Sward: PS3
3) Metrod Prime: Wii
4) Left 4 Dead: PC

The Wii's a great console...My only problem and for many other is the lack of Mature and overall good titles. Mario milkage is still strong with nintendo, and they wern't kidding when they said there reaching for a bigger audience, but along the way Hardcore gamers fell behind...Now Everythings, well.....to simplified with Nintendo. Everything has to be Small, Kiddy, easy...wheres the variety?

I've played the Wii for like 10 minutes and I couldn't find it worth to buy... I've also looked at their library and I couldn't find one game I would buy... As of right now, if I had to buy a Nintendo console, it would be the Gamecube.

360, PS3, and PC have the games I like to play.

Exactly! Nintendo should learn from Sony. Sony were big in the casual market but we always got awesome AAA hardcore titles. And in large quantities too. Those last PS2 years were just crazy! A console should be for everyone. That includes hardcore gamers.

the more a console sells the more game support it will get including the "hardcore" games.

Yet the PS2 could, so how do you explain that?

It had EVERYTHING for EVERYONE...inlcuding the hardcore fans, right?

So sit down.

Is Wii in it's last years? No, so you shouldn't be comparing them. And Nintendo is making hardcore games. The big 3...Hello. Maybe it's not that much, but it definately shows their trying to please the hardcore since they could easily just go 100% casual and make more money.

How long have the big 3 been in develpoment? Long before Nintendo start pushing for more casuals. What big games are after the Big 3 that rival their hardcore?
