I have... ...different gaming needs than I used to. If I have to stick with only one system, it would have to be the Wii, which surprises even me. I would have thought for sure that it would be a gaming PC. Thing is, you don't even need a gaming-spec PC these days to play something awesome like GalCiv 2, so not having a gaming-spec PC is not such a huge loss. You can still do a lot of great gaming on PC without a current system. Moreover, these days, I usually have activities other than amusing myself for myself at home. Generally, I have to entertain guests, entertain women, and keep my kids happy. Since I don't have time for career, kids, wife, friends, and gaming at the same time, I have to combine several of them in one activity just so I can get some sleep. Of all the systems, the Wii is the most versatile in this regard. There are a fair number of games that would interest kids on a PS3, but not nearly the same as you can find on the Wii. Similarly, the Wii has more games that appeal to women, or that can be used for entertaining guests. I can also use it to switch hit for a gym from time to time, so that's a definite plus. Given the limited amount of time I have to myself, I tend to have to split that between doing laps, meditating, and gaming. There are far more games on single player on the Wii than I know what to do with, and it offers the most cutting-edge designs and experiences as well - good fodder for talk at the office. I like having my PS3 and PC around, but I don't game on them as much as I thought I would when I bought them. I've had my Wii since '07 and I have over 70 games for it. I've had my PS3 for about half a year now, but even with the backlog, I have maybe 20 games for it - mostly unplayed because I just don't have the time anymore. Indeed, maintaining my correspondences on the 'net (coincides with monitoring GS Forums) is more important to me than playing any online multiplayer game on any console.

Im doing it now, but as my only console. I have a DS as well. Theres just not enough games on the HD systems for me. I love the Wii, I dont even have enough time and money to play and get all of the games I want. So far its my 3rd favorite console, with N64 as first and PS2 as second.

I sure could. The Wii is an excellent system, its sales and success are rightfully deserved. I only had a Wii and DS for a few years, then I grabbed a PS3 and PSP a few months ago, and now my gaming collection as far as consoles is complete.

Hell no. There isn't a single game or group of games to even justify the price of a wii for me. If I did however win one or get one as a gift I'd get SMG and Metroid Prime 3. Thats about it.

The Wii is my only system I have this gen and I have no desire to get another console. It has great platformers, and a lot of unique nich titles to keep me happy. It actually is slowly becoming my favorite system ever.

i have a wii for single player and local multiplayer games and i have a gaming pc for online games. i don't need the other 2 consoles, they are a waste of money and none of the games interest me, except banjo kazooie nuts and bolts, and that ratchet and clank game because i played the previous games in those series, but i won't buy them to play it.

There is more crap than greatness on every system.

Arguably, there's more greatness on the Wii than on the HD consoles. Like for real, System Warriors. The thing that's struck me about the HD library since I've bought a PS3 is that many of the suggested games are games I've played before (but updated graphically) or games I can play better on a gaming PC (which I have). Granted, I loved the new R&C series, but shooter #128 isn't interesting me very much, particularly on dual analog controls, and nearly all the racing games don't have local multiplayer, which just kills all those games for me. There aren't a whole lot of new experience, or even all that many experiences that focus on something new or just fun. Doesn't help that many of the games cost a pretty penny. I'm sure many gamers love gaming on the thing, but it's just not getting its hooks in me, when I have the money so I don't need to compromise and I have better options.

[QUOTE="Haziqonfire"][QUOTE="Chemical_Viking"]

Why is it wii fans get really defensive if you suggest it has a limited library of kiddie games yet they're constantly saying nonsense like this?

Chemical_Viking

No one gets upset at kiddy comments. I just find it funny when people have no idea and think the Wii has no games.

Yes they do. I've seen people upset at the kiddy comments. And people making those comments are no better or worse than people claiming HD consoles only have shooters. Sports games, driving games, adventure games, RPGs, there is an absolute abundance in all of the main genres.

it works both ways but the hd consoles have an abundace of way too many shooters we can all agree on that.

and the wii does not have a limited library or a "kiddy"library i reallly dont even know what that means truthfully.

[QUOTE="silversix_"]I'm guessing the only people who answered "yes, why not" and such, are the ones with Wii only, even now rofl. Most of people on gaming forums aren't casuals who just started gaming and i will NEVER believe some1 telling me that Wii alone is enough. Do you game once per couple of weeks? Sure, Wii only will do fine, but if ya gaming every day? lol. Bigboi500

Honestly why would we care what you believe?

yea and if you game everyday all day then its safe to assume that you dont have a life...

Honestly? No. That's not to say that the Wii is a bad console. I enjoyed quite a few games on it, but there's so much cool stuff coming out on X360/PS3, that doesn't come out on Wii, I just had to get involved in at least one of the other 2.

I guess I could, I'd constantly be envious about all the games not coming to the Wii, and I doubt I would game more than 1-2 times a month except for when a SMG came out i.e next week or if a Zelda game were to ever come out again. Other than that my Wii would pretty much just collect dust seeing how those are pretty much the only two games/series that Nintendo has that I really care about (no I am not a Metroid fan).

I guess some could. There's plenty of quality titles on the Wii to keep you satisfied if you look hard enough. Personally though, I could not rely on it alone. Far too many games I would miss out on.

Come on now, all I hear is "OMG its not AAA, therefore its bad" . All these silly As are really annoying.
