I have both a 360 and a Wii, But because of the oh so many 360 games that ive been playing ( GTA, COD, LO) and the games in the past like Gears, I barley play the wii, heck I only beaten 2 games, SSBB and RE4 ( for like the 20th time) even though I have awesome games like Zelda, Galaxy, Secret Rings, wii play. I didnt get Mario Kart because I knew that GTA was going to be the better pick ( also I only had enough money for one) Every time I popped in Galaxy, I played for 30 minutes - an hour tops, then I switched back to the 360 to play COD4. I actually got bored with Zelda :O as a result I never finished it the sky temple is sooo boring IMO. So am I the only one who neglects the wii because I own a 360? Who else neglects the Wii because they own a 360, PC and or PS3?

Maybe... I don't like GTA games though and have and still am playing Brawl, but I also have given my DS much love lately with TWEWY. (The world ends with you.)

Well, I finally got a new game for Wii, Mario Kart(which I'm highly disappointed in). But I have neglected my 360 more than the Wii.

Well, main reason I neglect it over my other platforms is because I take it as a 'casual' gaming machine. If I don't have time to burn, but still play a game, I'll pop it up. If I have time to burn, I'll usually get on the PC for serious gaming

Yes, most definitely. I have a PS3, PSP and a Wii and I have spent hardly any amount of time with the Wii in comparison to my other consoles, despite having owned a Wii since launch and having owned a PS3 for only 8 months.

The Wii is a disappointment IMO. :( If it weren't for Mario Galaxy i'd probably hate it.

It depends on what is out at the given time,

So far in 2008, I would say it goes 360, Wii, PS3

I sold the Wii because I own the other consoles of this gen.

I liked the Wii, but I didnt love it like I thought I did. It hurt to spend $50 on some of those games. Zelda? SMG? Super Paper Mario? Ok, all justified $50 purchases, but not alot of replay value in my opinion. They're great games, but I just couldnt stomach spending $50 on a game like Mario and Sonic at the Olympics or Mario Party 8 when instead I could invest that money into a game like Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Condemned 2, and the Orange Box.

If the Wii library retailed for like $30 bucks a pop I probably would have bought more, but to spend $50 on some of that stuff just hurt. lol.

I'm not a Wii hater!!! Just so you know.

No...quite the opposite in fact... I neglet my 360 because I have a Wii... at least for the moment. I normally go back and forth, I play one console for awhile, than I'll play another console for awhile...it all just depends on my gaming moods

I had a Wii and 360 about 6 months ago. I never played the Wii, so I ended up selling it on Ebay for more than I paid for it. Then I bought a PS3 and have been happy ever since.

Absolutely not. In fact I've played my Wii a lot more than my 360 this year, and bought many more games too. I haven't bought a 360 game since AC released last year. It just depends on what games you enjoy.

I joined a Game rental website so now I'll never neglect it, plus Mario Kart has been keeping me playing for the past 2 weeks or so. I can now rent whatever game I want and not have to worry about it being short or rubbish, I can just send it back when I'm done =p.

My Wii is my only current-gen system, and it's the one I play the most. If I'm not playing a Wii game, I'm playing a Gamecube game on it, or a VC game. If I'm not playing my Wii at all, I'm usually playing my PS2, but it's been a while since I've done that.

i fail to see the process that makes your own personal experience = reality.

You just dont like the wii. I have a wii and a 360 and I have just dusted off my 360 for GTA but still play MKW as well.

Yeah. It's utter garbage compared to 360/PS3. I even regret buying SSBB because the N64 one is still more fun.

As you all can see this is a prime case of fanboyism. They commonly traverse through SW and think their own bias actually are a good observation of the things they bash.

Even I, who only had nintendo consoles during my life, have been neglecting the Wii, Zelda mario and Metroid were all great games, but how could it not be? The biggest names in Nintendo's history...and the bad thing is, I don't have a secondary (of primary) console to back up the wii. Brawl is disappointing, just a melee 1.1 with crap online.... There's two non-nintendo games I'm willing to get, so the hope is still there.... I compare with the same amount of time I had the GC, I had so many great games already, and there was a whole bunch I wanted....

If i'm neglecting my Wii, it's because i'm too busy to play games. I was neglecting my 360, but I just bought GTA4. In the end i'm always playing the Wii more than the 360. Last night me and 5 friends were playing Mario Kart and then Brawl. I just see it as the best console for local multiplayer. I'm not into local multiplayer shooters, I think it's cause of the small screens, for racing it's fine, but not shooters, atleast thats how I feel.

I only own 3 360 games, other games like Assassin's Creed, which my brother owns and has finished playing, I borrow from him and play them months after release. I think it's just cause I don't have time to play so many games. Like, i'm sure Bioshock is a great game, Orange Box, etc..., but I just don't have the time to play them all, so i've never played them.

So I wouldn't call it neglect, I don't think anyone here has the time to play them all, so maybe that's why some people bought a Wii later, and only got 2 games and say they are neglecting it. It's the other way around for me. I have 17 Wii games and 3 360 games.

VERTIGO47

Even if, normally you buy the next-gen console cause you've played all the good games last generation...

I mean, you know the games are 'BETTER' because you've played them right? Are you going to never buy another console and replay these same games?

I don't know, it just seems like you don't get it. I think, or...hope, you know there are great games on the Wii, Atleast 5 must-own games on the Wii. If you got one, I garantee your not going to buy all five games at once, so why complain that one console has 15 amazing games, and one only has like...8, if you wait 2 years to buy the Wii, then do it. Same for any console. It'd bound to accumilate enough amazing games for you to buy, and you'll be overwhelmed to play them all at once, so you won't get bored of it.

Actually it's the other way around. I have to say to myself, "Play you other consoles, your Wii is getting too hot." Mario Kart Wii is a blast.

I neglect the Wii because I don't like the games that are on it. I want to see Nintendo become a software company like Sega so they can stop holding my favorite franchises hostage with rehashes, spin-offs, and tailored to systems with poor graphics, poor online, and crap controls.

Indeed it is and the only ones who don't agree with this are A) Nintendo fanboys/ paid hacks or B) only have the Wii and can't afford the other systems or C) CLAIM they have a high end PC.

When are you noobs gonna realise that people like the wii just as much as you like your system.

This is elitist BS to the max. people are so arrogant here. The Wii would not be selling so well and not top the software charts with hardcore and non gamer games if people were not playing it. That whole Wii Sports being the only game myth is dead. If anything PS3 has issues. Lack of million sellers suggests that people are not sing it as much as gamers are playing the Wii or 360.

I have both a 360 and a Wii, But because of the oh so many 360 games that ive been playing ( GTA, COD, LO) and the games in the past like Gears, I barley play the wii, heck I only beaten 2 games, SSBB and RE4 ( for like the 20th time) even though I have awesome games like Zelda, Galaxy, Secret Rings, wii play. I didnt get Mario Kart because I knew that GTA was going to be the better pick ( also I only had enough money for one) Every time I popped in Galaxy, I played for 30 minutes - an hour tops, then I switched back to the 360 to play COD4. I actually got bored with Zelda :O as a result I never finished it the sky temple is sooo boring IMO. So am I the only one who neglects the wii because I own a 360? Who else neglects the Wii because they own a 360, PC and or PS3?ImSwordMan

BOY OH BOY DO I NEGLECT THE WII! lol! I also neglect the PS3 too. I find it more fun to play online with my friends over LIVE and get achievements then playing games like Super Mario Galaxy or Uncharted. Both single player games offering no value to me. I have both actually and haven't even started them yet! I keep saying "After I beat this game I'll play Galaxy of Uncharted yet I ALWAYS find myself either buying or Gameflying another 360 title and playing that over the others. Since getting both Uncharted and Galaxy I have played GTA IV, Condemnded 2, Conan, and DMC 4 over the other games lol!

I keep saying "After I beat this game I'll play Galaxy of Uncharted yet I ALWAYS find myself either buying or Gameflying another 360 title and playing that over the others. Since getting both Uncharted and Galaxy I have played GTA IV, Condemnded 2, Conan, and DMC 4 over the other games lol!

So you can say two games you've never played, admitted to never playing, offer no value to you at all.. but you bought them anyways?
