Being that the Wii is going to win this gen of console wars means one thing.

True, but the recent reports of developers flocking in masses to the Wii means it's going to dominate for atleast 3 years.  After that, who knows.

I didn't dismiss it, but I didn't think their new market would buy into the system as quickly as they did.  Actually, now that the system is out and I've played it, I'm even less impressed, but still sure that the Wii will have most of the market share this generation.

next gen  is just a buzz word. graphics aren't everything. if the wii was just like the ps3/360 I wouldn't have bought one. i'd still only be a pc gamer.

I'm tired of people saying the Wii isn't next gen. Sony and MS went on improving something different than Nintendo. It;s just because it's never been done before, so people think that consoles need more power to be next gen.

Next Gen hasnt fully arrived. I own a Wii and its fun, but I guess the buying public needs more than the next gen graphics being produced by Sony and MS. I am in complete shock that the Wii is going to take the title. The PS3 and 360 are far and away better systems, but I guess innovation and price point is going to be the winning points in this generation. Congrats to Nintendo for taking a bold risk and having it pay off 10 fold. Are you one of those who dismissed the Wii as a true contender like me? if So talk about it. Thanks.Mets365

Yes. Low price + innovation = winner.

Oddly enough, it's the one console from this gen that I don't own though.

I own it and its good, but the graphics are child like and Im a graphix "you know what".  I wish they could make xbox or PS2 looking graphics for baseball games and basketball games and not this bonk little kid mii stuff.  Other than that, its fun and great for the family.  I kinda equate it to a Disney movie, or a pixar movie, it sells like hotcakes and the kids and family love it, and the sales could be the best, but its not the best movie out there.

After the first round of N games, the gimmick will be over and the next round of Marios, Zeldas, will be rehash boringness.  If they weren't already boring.

 The dpad analog controller provides the interface for more universal games.  The Wiimote limited it and will be the end of it.

I really hope that is the case. I can't wait for a game that lets me raise a shield, stab with perfect precision, block with something, levitate and throw objects...I hope they can make it happen.

 

Its early, in a year you'll be seeing the Wii utilized in much better ways, you'll be wondering how you ever lived without one

 

I hope so.  I can't wait for the day to come when I'm raising my shield, slashing at enemies with perfect precision, and blocking attacks, levitating and throwing objects through the air...I hope it can be done, and be done with the quality that so far has not been demonstrated.

I dont think It will be as succesful as the PS2 last gen.  When the Wii wins, its games wont appeal to everyone. Wii wont have Halo, nor Final fantasy, nor gears of war.  There is still a big market out there for those type of high hardware intesnive games.  For that reason I think this generation war will be alot closer then last generation.  I am happy for nintendo. but a simple matter is not everyone loves mario.

The Wii is like the non-epic flying mount in World of Warcraft.  It's not faster than the epic land mount, but it opens up new possibilities with air travel that you can't do on land.  You can be more flexible.  Ok, if you did not understand what I just said, go buy a copy of WoW, level to 70 and earn 1000 gold.

LOLZ!! Do you guys actually think the Wii will win this gen??? IMO I don't think the Wii has the graphical power and enough 3rd party games to last half-way this gen..

Sure the Wii system may be selling now because only casuals are interested on trying the Wii-mote. With time casuals will lose interest(they always do) and with the lack of games they will go looking for the next hot thing..

I actaully have a Wii and Xbox360 at home.. Sure the Wii did have an unique feeling at first but I came back to my Xbox 360 in a week because it has all of the amazing games..

The Wii will not win. No console will. I stand by my original prediction of a brutal war that ends in a stalemate and some extremely happy gamers.

Wii is last gen with a new controller. Its in a different league. It can't win this gen if it sold a billion. This gen is between 360 and ps3. Deal with it.

Wii looks like a system that I'd just never play that much.  The DS was disappointingly not so hot for me.  I guess it would be great if you don't play games all that often?  It seems like I would just play DDR if I really wanted to do something like that.  But there is no denying that it is popular with the kids coming up that aren't exhausted with Nintendo and people that are bored and want something that is different to everybody.

The Wii is selling extremely well because it is a great secondary console.
