I noticed that a lot of gamers who only own a Wii have a habit of posting about how their Wii console is collecting dust and that they've sold or plan on selling their Wii's. Why not try and buy a 360 or a PS3 or build a nice gaming PC instead of relying on Wii games to keep you happy. There's tons of great games out on either the 360 or PC or even the PS3 for that matter that will compliment their Wii game collections. Any thoughts?

I noticed that a lot of "hardcore gamers" who only own a Wii have a habit of posting about how their Wii console is collecting dust and that they've sold or plan on selling their Wii's. Seriously folks, the Wii is meant for the CASUAL gamer so if you consider yourself to be a hardcore gamer and plan on buying a Wii, I hope you have another next-gen console or at least a nice gaming PC to go along with it. Any thoughts?DaGamingGod

I've been away, theres a lot of people selling their Wii's? Odd, I see more people selling their 360's and PS3s.. And again, Consoles are not meant for Hardcore or casuals, its the software that dictates that, not hardware.

Pretty sure you did in fact state, "Seriously folks, the Wii is meant for the CASUAL gamer" which would mean that this is exactly as te person you quoted said.

I don't get it. I thought "casual" games were like those from PopCap. I've got like fifteen games in my Wii library, and none of them are like that.

I think "hardcore" and "casual" are just terms designed to keep the hobby exclusive and special. I don't get that either.

Will I use to only own a Wii for awhile and I never had any problems I was having fun, but I got a job and more money and decided to pick up a 360. So now you know one.

How hard is it to believe a hardcore gamer can get away with only owning a Wii?

The only thing that matters is what games appeal to you.

It isn't like people were crazy to own a PS3 even though 360 had better exclusives and all the multiplats.

PS3 owners held strong with the multiplats and what little exclusive they had to start. MGS 4 turned out amazing. They other exclusives are still very good.

There are ton of exclusives on the way

Sony seems to be more focused on the gaming aspect of the PS3 now.

"If you want a fun console without spending the $$$ don't buy a 360 or PS3!!!"

Or

"If gaming isn't your die hard hobby don't buy a PS3 or 360!!!!"

I can do that too.

Someon who doesn't like Crysis, World in Conflict, WOW

Someone who doesn't like MGS 4, Uncharted, or Ratchet

And would rather play SMash Bros. Brawl, Mario Galaxy or Metroid Prime 3.

Video games can at least stimulate your brain cells and I'm pretty sure professional wrestling kills them. I'm almost positive that if everyone who loves professional wrestling disappeared from the earth right now no one would notice.
