Here is the deal:

1. I have a PC and 360

2. I definitly want a PS3 to play the load of new games being released for it, and the ones that are already out.

3. My Wii is collecting dust, and I can probably sell it along with a Wii Fit for at least $200... which would almost get my the PS3 for free

As such... I want you to try your hardest to convince me not to sell it.

Rules:

Show me the Top 5 upcoming titles that could change my mind to keep it.

By Friday, if you haven't convinced me. I will put it on Ebay, and will link with proof that I was serious.

If theres a Wii game that looks awesome, you can't buy it because you sold your Wii. Picture that. PS3 is definitely a must buy though when you get enough cash

Why would anybody want to do that? Seriously, why would anybody care if you sell it or not? If you said "Convince me and I will keep my Wii and buy you the PS3 instead" then it would be somehow interesting. But this? I'll pass.

Just put it on Ebay already... if you were interested on upcoming Wii games, you wouldn't need to be convinced by others. :roll:

There is no arguement.

Go on and sell that trash :lol:

There's a fine line between being a loyal consumer, and a blind consumer. The latter is achieved if you keep your Wii.

Sell your wii now, while the value still holds. Sheesh just get a ps3 already, clearly your mind is telling you that you want it but is afraid to make the move and want others encouragement/assurance, yaddah. Personally I dont even play with either of my three. I just use one as a movie, therefore PS3>other two and PC gaming OWNS ALL.

Personally I think PS3 is a PoS next to 360, but if I only had a Wii, then the PS3 would be looking pretty good to me. I haven't bought a Wii game in a very long time, and whatever it was I sure as hell don't play it anymore. With the PS3 pricedrop and readily available at WarMart, if that's what you want, go fer it.

Hey man, I know how you feel, but there's no point on having a console collecting dust just because you wanna remain loyal to a company that don't give a flying **** about you.

I've had pretty much every Nintendo console out there, except the Wii and the DS and I don't regret not having them because if I did, it would be also collecting dust, just like yours.

There's so many great ones coming out I'll name 10. No, 12, I can't choose the last one.

1. Metroid: Other M

2. Monster Hunter Tri

3. Red Steel 2 (ya the 1st one REALLY sucked, but check this one out, uses Wii Motion Plus, totally different setting, style, just looks amazing)

4. Silent Hill: Shattered Memories

5. New Super Mario Bros.

6. Super Mario Galaxy 2

7. Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom

8. No More Heroes 2

9. The Grinder

10. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearers

11. Sin & Punishment 2

12. Dead Space Extraction

Then there's Legend of Zelda Wii 2 coming in a while, and I assume you haven't yet bought Little King's Story? Buy that now. Such an amazing game.

If all that's not enough to keep you happy, sell it.

Some of these are close to coming out... Some of these are a year from coming out. If someone were to name the good looking games coming out on PS3/360 within a year it would be a mile long. Not a very good reason, though of course I admit those are (mostly) good looking games. Some though I think you put on there just to extend the list.

1. Anyone who wants to be convinced NOT to sell a system, is instead looking for support for the decision they have already made to sell the system.

2. If you sell the system there is a very high chance as some point in the next few year you will think to yourself, "Wow I wish I had kept my Wii for that".

3. If you are really not going to play your Wii, just sell it, don't waffle about it.

I think you should just do it now and don't waste anymore time. You need to catch up on a lot of great games because there is a ton a great stuff coming out the next few months

Why? You obviously didn't pick the console that's for you, and if you need convincing otherwise, then you should know it wasn't the right console to purchase.

Super Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid: Other M, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, No More Heroes 2, Sin & Punishment 2, Red Steel 2, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Monster Hunter 3, Tales of Graces... If none of these are your cup of tea, then the Wii isn't for you.

Go with the concensus in here, sell your Wii and buy more 360 games. Forza 3 will rule October...

If I were you, I would keep your Wii due to the aforementioned games that will be coming out within the next year or so. You can't deny the quality in most of those titles.


I think that instead of selling the Wii, you should sell your 360. The Wii has many exclusives that you won't find anywhere else. The 360 and the PS3, on the other hand, are pretty much the same console. However, the PS3 beats the 360 (IMO) because of the exclusives and Blu-Ray.


Just to reiterate, here are some of those games I was talking about:


Metroid: Other M

Metroid Prime Trilogy

Monster Hunter 3

Zelda Wii

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Red Steel 2

Muramasa

Dragon Quest X

Tales of Graces

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom

Little King's Story


etc. etc.


Hope this helps.

Damn Disgaea is a nightmare for me... I think of myself as a completionist and Disgaea has so much to do that it's one of those games that I really love but hate because I just can't get 100%, so I'm stuck for a lot of time with it.

Have 280+ hrs in Disgaea 2 and haven't beat it yet!! :cry:

Red Steel 2

Metroid Other M

New Super Mario Bros Wii

Zelda Wii

There is 6 for you. I would get the PS3, just don't sell the Wii to do it.
