Is it the games? No, atm 360 has the most diverse and best gaming selection.

Is it the graphics? No

Is is the physics? No, PS3 has that locked down due to the cell.

Is it the AI? No, 360 and PS3 got it beat.

Is it the online? No, Xbox live and PSN is better.

Is it the controller? Personally no, but I'll give that to the Wii. so yes.

Is it the price? yes, but I think it should be lower.

Is it more fun? No it is just as fun as playing your games on the 360 and PS3. Nintendo didn't buy up all the fun and put it in their system.

So besides it selling very well what makes it better than the 360 and PS3? Listing games is pointless because not everyone have the same tastes.

I really want to know because besides price I don't see why it is selling so well. I'm still waiting for SSB to come out before I buy the wii; so what makes it so much better than the 360 and PS3.

Huh? All you made was a fanboyish statement. I just want to know what is so awesome about the wii that it is taking the industry by storm.

Its not better and I really dont know one reason why people want it to win the war so bad it would be a disaster to the industry if Nintendo wins with that hardware.

I think it's the controller that made tons of people dying to get a Wii for. It's casual gamer's dream to get something like a Wiimote. Exercise and gaming all at once, what else is better than that? (except Dance Dance Revolution) gnutux

 I know in time more games will come out for the wii, but right now now there is nothing of interest to me. Games is all that matter when I buy a console.

But the controller hasn't done much for gaming yet. I haven't really seen anything done on the wii that coulnd't be done on the PS3 or even the 360 for that matter.

Can someone please explain to me what the difference is in playing Zelda with a remote and Tekken with an arcade stick?  Time Crisis with a lightgun, or Guitar Hero with a guitar?

what games on 36o differs from wii is, since i have them both:

360 games makes you serious, concentrate on gaming kinda like....cant explain, its intense like hardcore.

wii games make you smile, you make a fool at of urself and its just F-U-N

so wii60=ps3's coffin.

Let's see you try to try meelee-ing in Gears of War without pushing the B button, then come back and show me a video of you doing it. Let's also see you try to shoot in Resistance: Fall of Man like a gun with the aiming without the thumbstick, but actually aiming. Let's also see you wrestle your gun out of an enemy's hand in CoD3 in both XBOX 360 and PS3 by actually using motion sensing. gnutux

Umm how am  I being a fanboy. I am not saying the wii sucks and is a terrible system. I didn't even say the PS3 or 360 is far better than the wii. I just want to know why is the wii is doing so well. Based on what I asked above it doesn't make sense to me. I hoping somebody could give me an informative answer.

But see it can be done without a wiimote. The wii mote provide gamers the option using a different input to get the same output I can get on the 360 or PS3.

If obscure low budget mini game collections are the new "fun", then I'll stick with my regular old non-fun games.

Games like Wii Sports and Elebits are genius and certainly wouldn't play correctly on the PS3 or 360. Moving the gravity gun's zapper around in Elebits with dual joysticks (rather than just pointing and shooting) would suck.

The point I'm coming across here is that you said what the PS3 and X360 can't do that the Wii can do. That is, motion sensing. That's why tons of casual gamers love it, simply because of the motion-sensing Wiimote. gnutux

Is it really the controller though? This is not the first time motion sensing has been introduced into gaming.

Or maybe because you are just going to name your fav. game and I can counter it with my fav. games. It would then just be a pointless debate.

Let's see a Wii game actually use the controller for something worthwhile.

I've had alot more fun pressing B in Gears of War than sheep have had flipping burgers in Cooking Mama.

The problem is it can still be done no matter how good or bad it is compared to the wii mote.

[QUOTE="gnutux"]Let's see you try to try meelee-ing in Gears of War without pushing the B button, then come back and show me a video of you doing it. Let's also see you try to shoot in Resistance: Fall of Man like a gun with the aiming without the thumbstick, but actually aiming. gnutuxgnutux

But see it can be done without a wiimote. The wii mote provide gamers the option using a different input to get the same output I can get on the 360 or PS3.

The point I'm coming across here is that you said what the PS3 and X360 can't do that the Wii can do. That is, motion sensing. That's why tons of casual gamers love it, simply because of the motion-sensing Wiimote. gnutux

I thought the PS3 had motion sensing.

It's selling most likely due to the new controller and new unique games.

inb4 someone says "lols, wii games suck! they aren't making the console sell!"

JPOBS

its true though.

it has uniqe games like trauma center, elebits and....(wii sports) and...got nothing. so not only becoz its cheap in price, the controller is revolutionary? well maybe not the controller but its about FUN? no maybe becoz its NINTENDO, its name have been loyal to most gamers like me.

Is it the games? No, atm 360 has the most diverse and best gaming selection.

Is it the graphics? No

Is is the physics? No, PS3 has that locked down due to the cell.

Is it the AI? No, 360 and PS3 got it beat.

Is it the online? No, Xbox live and PSN is better.

Is it the controller? Personally no, but I'll give that to the Wii. so yes.

Is it the price? yes, but I think it should be lower.

Is it more fun? No it is just as fun as playing your games on the 360 and PS3. Nintendo didn't buy up all the fun and put it in their system.

So besides it selling very well what makes it better than the 360 and PS3? Listing games is pointless because not everyone have the same tastes.

I really want to know because besides price I don't see why it is selling so well. I'm still waiting for SSB to come out before I buy the wii; so what makes it so much better than the 360 and PS3.

I think it's the controller that made tons of people dying to get a Wii for. It's casual gamer's dream to get something like a Wiimote. Exercise and gaming all at once, what else is better than that? (except Dance Dance Revolution) gnutux

But the controller hasn't done much for gaming yet. I haven't really seen anything done on the wii that coulnd't be done on the PS3 or even the 360 for that matter.

Let's see you try to try meelee-ing in Gears of War without pushing the B button, then come back and show me a video of you doing it. Let's also see you try to shoot in Resistance: Fall of Man like a gun with the aiming without the thumbstick, but actually aiming. Let's also see you wrestle your gun out of an enemy's hand in CoD3 in both XBOX 360 and PS3 by actually using motion sensing. gnutux

Let's see a Wii game actually use the controller for something worthwhile.

I've had alot more fun pressing B in Gears of War than sheep have had flipping burgers in Cooking Mama.

I never said it's not fun to hardcore gamers, but that's not what casuals like, they aren't couch-potatoes. Traditional gamers are. By Nintendo capitalizing this, they hit a larger market than if they just compete against the X360 and the PS3 head-on. Traditional gamers' market is smaller than the casual gamer's market, and Nintendo has realized that. gnutux

the wii isnt better than 360 or the ps3. It is selling like hotcakes because its ALOT cheaper (people are cheap), and it's something the whole family can have fun with. Most of the people buying a Wii are NOT hardcore gamers (males between 14 and 30 or something) they are people that want to have fun swinging a controller around. It's just like the DS. They use a weak graphics card, but introduce a different way to control games and everyone gets excited. I'm kinda disapointed that the graphics are sub-par on the Wii. IF they could have spent a little more money and increased it's graphics ability then I would be impressed. Another thing is they keep releasing BAD games for the Virtual console. Why why why? Some people are probably dumb enough to download these games without reading the reviews either. They may be out 5-10dollars but still, nintendo should just not put such lame games on there to download. I bet the average Wii game (including virtual console) is probably at like 6.5..... not that great. But they should actually have some decent games (same with Ps3) later this year.

 

So far the 360 is in the lead for quality of games as well as quantity of games. If i had to choose 1 "next-gen" console, id go with the 360 w/o a doubt.

 

p.s. BTW , i have a ps2 and an xbox, but no Next gen yet.  I will probably be buying a 360 soon, since they are getting Ace Combat 6, and the ps3 is still SLOW to release any decent games.

I thought most people on average spent about 70% of their time watching tv. So wouldn't that mean they are coach potatoes. The term coach potatoes came because people were watching a lot of tv.

 I'm a 14 year old male and I'm definitely a hardcore gamer. I'm smart enough notto download horrible VC games. I don't care if the graphics are behind, becuz the gameplay the Wii offers overshadows it. But...the graphics can and probably should be better than they are, even for launch games.
