[QUOTE="tok1879"] Okay, consider me effin confused. Uhm..can somebody please better explain what he's trying to say?tok1879

We had a discussion earlier. He was using GR to determine who had the most AAA, and AA for each console and said the Wii had the least without downloadable games (like Wii ware) My numbers whoever are for exclusive games only, and thus the Wii has the most AAA, and AA. Did that help?:P

Why would you want to count downloadable games? And why do people still keep counting exclusive games? Having more exclusives means nothing if the competition's library contain better non exclusive games that don't exist on that platform.

its all about "value-add" or added value if you dont want to use the economic term. if i own product A and product B is nearly identical why get product B? if i own product A and product C has exclusive functionality it may be worth getting. product A and B can be your choice of pc,360, or ps3 however C in the home systems industry would only be the WII. the increase in ones options increases far more with the wii then the ps3/360. this is why exclusives matter so much, and as this is a gaming website few people here are only going to have one console let alone only a wii. no one here will reply to this post so i dont know why i made it

exclusives good, counting multiplatform games twice bad. and that is the AAAE, AAe count on gamerankings

oOoh, i see. So counting multiplatforms twice is bad. So it's better not to count them at all. Like they don't exist. WoW! Genius plan. Two stars ** for you sir. :D

That's it? I once thought that I was not going to last a Wii only gamer this gen, but as the years passed, I am definitely best off with only a Wii.

Also, you may think it's easy to get a PS3/360 now, but they still cost $299 each.

Total AAA at Gamerankings:

PS3=12

360=16

Wii=6 (3 of these are Ports/Rereleases of last gen games)

How are you guys surviving without a PS3 or a 360? are there any of you out there who are going to stay Wii-only for the rest of this gen? Tell us why?(serious)

TheArmyGuy48

If you buy games based off reviews alone, you're stupid.

Also, God of War III looks like the only good game from that list, and I plan on staying with my Wii only for the rest of the generation. Unless they actually make good games for the PS3 wand (Which most likely will not happen).

Because were on SYSTEM WARS, the place you go to argue about games. you knew what to expect when you clicked System Wars, yet you came in anyways. You dont like it, General Games Discussion is only a click away.

Now I know you're a ban user. You know your way around here way too well to be new.


lol, TC magically disappeared from this thread after you said that, Actic. I think my ban dodger senses are tingling.

Hey, i thought this thread was about having only a Wii. Well, using you example, i'ld say that if you had to own one, it would be better owning A or B rather than C. Why? Because owning A or B exposes you to more quality games than C can. No?

IF YOU HAVE EITHER A PS3 ONLY OR A 360 ONLY, WHICHEVER ONE, YOU CAN PLAY EVERY ONE OF THESE AAA TITLES RIGHT NOW

IF YOU ONLY OWN A WII YOU CAN PLAY THESE GAMES RIGHT NOW, NONE ARE ON PS3/360:

OreoMilkshake

Oh so it needs to be a 2 on 1 to beat the Wii? Gotcha. With that logic I can list 360 and Wii games that you can't play on the PS3. How fascinating

lol, so you completely ignore the first 2 lists where I showed you all the games you could play with only one of them and each list is over double the Wiis? :roll:

As if those first 2 lists werent enough to make the Wii look laughable, the 3rd list shows all the games that will play on EITHER system, meaning if you own ONLY ONE of those consoles every one of those games are playable. If it were 2 on 1 I would have to add exclusives together, and every game in that third list is multiplat:|

[QUOTE="mexicangordo"] I mis counted LBP, probably mis counted 1 or 2 for both Wii and 360 as well but you get the picture. You just listed the same games two times in a row just for different consoles, not to mention you can play most of them on PC as well. But im sure you will still wanna use multiplates other wise your arguement holds no water...

So by your example. Wii owners can play the countless Wii only AA, AAA exclusives that are ONLY on the Wii or play games that are in 3 (sometimes even 4 with ds/psp) gaming plateforms.

I think the Wii list is looking better and better ;)

Yay i win again, do i get a cookie?TheArmyGuy48

You dont win anything. No matter how you spin it, if you have a 360 you can play more AAA, AA, and A than the Wii. If you have only a PS3 you can play more total AAA, AA, and A than the Wii. No matter what they are playing more good games than you. It doesnt matter if its multiplat or not, if your a Wii only owner, your only playing 6 AAA titles Period.

Too bad there mostly the same genre, nice try though.

but to dismiss C to say A and B are both worth it when C is not would be like saying " who needs a pair of shoes when i can have two left shoes." and yes having one of the other systems, for me, is more important then the wii. that is why i got a wii to complement my PC, and with my pc there is little of interest the others (360/ps3) offer. if it came down to pc or wii, the wii would lose every time but to dismiss the importance of exclusives to a system is just foolish.

there was a poll on system wars about a week ago to see who was a wii only owner, and where a fair amount had a wii only about 4% said only a wii, and if this thread is targeting those few, not only is it a waste of all of our time, but it is our duty to pick apart the TC argument for putting such a weak argument up.

Im perfectly fine missing out on all those. You know y? because all the 360/PS3 have are shooters. I cant stand playing shooters for more than 30 min. its just tiring. All you do in those games is hold the R button & walk around. Wii games at least arent reptative and generic like 360 and PS3 games. I cant stand playing gears of war for more than 30 min. yes i have a 360, and the only game i enjoy on it is Banjo Kazooie. The only game i would want on the PS3 is Little Big Planet BECAUSE ITS NOT THE SAME JUNK WE GET EVERY 6 MONTHS. Im also pretty sure that if wii games had graphics on par with 360 & PS3 games the cows & lemmings wouldnt start these stupid arguments & complaints. Cows & Lemmings are people who get a kick out of sick & demented movies like SAW & Inglorious Basterds. They may be pointless & have no actually story, but it has a butt load of guts so it makes it automatically good to them. All those games you showed are the generic games that i am talking about. Dont get me wrong i enjoy shooters here and there, but having it as my only availabe genre would make me never want to play games ever again. on top of that Nintendo's games have the most history. You cant deny the fact that they have the most talented & dedicated team in the world. Show me someone superior to Miyamoto & you will win. Oh wait you cant..you know y? because even MS & Sony have stated that they believe Miyamoto is the god of games. Times voted him #1 most influential person. Nintendo is the only group that puts the most effort in their games. They treat their work like art. They have the highest reputation for high quality games. The reason they take much longer to release AAA games is because they take so much time & effort to make one game. Remember how many times they delayed TP. ALOT!!! who did they work with to make Galaxy? NASA!!!!!!! Everyone knows that Nintendo will always make the best games. As for third party devs i cant always say the same. Either way even though the 360/PS3 have more AAA games than the Wii, it is truly the wii games that have higher production values than those of the 360/PS3 because of the time & effort that nintendo has put just to make one game. Compare Gears of War, God of War, & Mario Galaxy. Mario wins hands down. y? because he has history, he was the first 2d sidescoller, and his games arent the generic junk we get all the time. Mario is a one of a kind character. Some even argue that he is more famous than mickey mouse (which i do not agree with). his reputation exceeds him. All of nintendos characters cannot be compared to the noob characters in these new games. Master Cheif & snake are the only people close enough to even be comparable to Nintendos characters. Tell me again...what exactly am i missing out on except a slew of generic shooters, mindless violence & a bunch of 8 year olds bombarding the online servers so they can play big kid games and be one of the big kinds. Oh tha reminds me. The 360/PS3 audience is way younger than the wii audience. Plz reply because i would love to continue arguing with you. its great fun:P

That's the total crap about these lists ... as on SW, we use GS ratings. Not gamerankings, not Nintedo Power, not metacritic - Gamespot.

As far as I've seen, that's how things work here.

I prefer game rankings because it is an average of a who bunch of sites and I end up buying games that game stop that game spot completely ignores. It's like I am getting games that don't exist.

Are you enraged?


Sure this is System Wars, but that doesn't give you a free license to start stupid and pointless arguments, which is something that you seem to excel at.


As Actic pointed out earlier, Wii owners have every opportunity to get a PS3/360 now due to the price drops. Many of them choose not to. Why? Figure it out using that brain of yours. Here, I'll even help you find it:TheArmyGuy48

So your saying that no games are exclusive because we can all go buy any console at any time :? Thats one of the dumbest things ive heard in system wars.


When did I say that? Now you are just putting words in my mouth.

When did I say that? Now you are just putting words in my mouth.shoryuken_

I pointed out a bunch of AAA level games that the Wii cant play, and you negated that arguement by saying that Wii owners have every opportunity to get a 360 or PS3 to play those games. wouldnt that mean, that any one console owner has every opportunity to get any console and play any game not on their platform? meaning theres no point in listing off exclusives? you didnt think your post through before posting it did you?

[QUOTE="tok1879"][QUOTE="surrealnumber5"]

[QUOTE="tok1879"] Hey, i thought this thread was about having only a Wii. Well, using you example, i'ld say that if you had to own one, it would be better owning A or B rather than C. Why? Because owning A or B exposes you to more quality games than C can. No?

but to dismiss C to say A and B are both worth it when C is not would be like saying " who needs a pair of shoes when i can have two left shoes." and yes having one of the other systems, for me, is more important then the wii. that is why i got a wii to complement my PC, and with my pc there is little of interest the others (360/ps3) offer. if it came down to pc or wii, the wii would lose every time but to dismiss the importance of exclusives to a system is just foolish.

there was a poll on system wars about a week ago to see who was a wii only owner, and where a fair amount had a wii only about 4% said only a wii, and if this thread is targeting those few, not only is it a waste of all of our time, but it is our duty to pick apart the TC argument for putting such a weak argument up.

I'm sorry, but with all due respect, that made absolutely no sense. Could you please find a better analogy to further elaborate your point?

if A and B are the same and one is looking to get more then one system, system C would be the better choice as getting A and B would be like getting two left shoes

His point is if Wii-only owners were so concerned about missing out on the games you listed, they would have bought another console.

That's the point of exclusives, that they require a certain platform to play.

I look at the Wii as a secondary console, and my PS3 as the primary. If you are not into hardcore gaming, i can see how having only a Wii is possible

I only have a Wii right now, and I'm fine. And do I care that I'm missing out on AAA games PS3 and 360 has? Nope.

nintendoboy16

This. I'll be happy with games like Metroid Prime Trilogy, Metroid: Other M, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Monster Hunter Tri, No More Heroes 2, and more.

Oh i see. That's true, even though, i'ld buy a 360 before a Wii(if i'ld ever buy one). But to be fair, it really is true, that is of course ignoring its price and what you get for it(but that's another discussion). But if it were just one console, A or B would be a pair of nice shoes, while C would be a pair of really cheap flip-flops.

Drools.....Jaw Drops.... Man I wish I had a PS3 to play all those awesome games... oh wait ... i do ..., and I have all those games for plus about 40 more... Still though, that has got to be one of the greatest montage posts of images for a system line up ever!!! I just can't wait to see it once GOW3 , Last guardian, and Heavy Rain, Ratchet clank, Demon Souls, White knight chronicles, and FFXIIIvs. come out for it. Pile all those games screens in one clip and i will be drooling again..guaranteed!

VendettaRed07
Yes I am , and I have a wii... with mario galaxy and twilight princess. Mario was ok but got boring fast , zelda twilight p was horrible, compared to OOT, Legend of Zelda, Zelda 2, and Link to the past. The last time i really like mario games was on the SNES... The 3d ones i never really liked. The thing is my wii hasn't been turned on, by me, since Spring 2008 ..aprox the time I bought my ps3..

I'm perfectly fine with not playing those. I wouldn't refer to it as "missing out" for me

[QUOTE="Yandere"]

[QUOTE="hiphops_savior"]There's a lot of niche games on the Wii too, and Tiger Woods 10 on the Wii is the definitive version (which is why the Wii version got a AAA).hiphops_savior

The PS360 has a huge amount of niche games also.

Can you name any PS360 games that are niche? I could name several Wii games that are niche off the top of my head.

Cross Edge, Valkyria Chronicles, Disgaea 3, Demon's Souls, Sacred 2, and a boat load of psp games.

[QUOTE="mexicangordo"]

[QUOTE="TheArmyGuy48"] Lol, who cares about the sales charts. A bunch of nursing homes bout Wiis big whoop. People act like the PS2 won because it sold 140+ million units. No, it won because it had 49AAA titles on gamerankings(22 AAAE), while the xbox had 22 AAA (7 AAAE) and Gamecube 19 AAA(7AAAE). The Ps2 had more AAAE than the GC had total AAA. but whats even funnier, is that the PS2 had more AAA EXCLUSIVES at its LAUNCH than the Wii has TOTAL AAA right now :lol:

LOL, the Wii has 6 Total AAA going into its 4th year, and 3 of those games are Ports/Rereleases of last gen games, what would we be bitter about?:?

Midnightshade29

Well, Wii has more AA's than 360 and Ps3 if im not mistaken.

Wii has the most new IP's if im not mistaken and new indie developers,

Wii has the highest critically acclaimed exclusive this Gen and of all time (second to Zelda of course)

Its been reported that people who own all 3 systems; the wii is played the most.

and the average age of a Wii gamer is 22-29 (or around there, forgot the exact numbers)

Wii has the most exclusives this gen, coming up and current.

Yay for facts and not opinions :P

Really you can't compare wii games to ps360 sorry , you just can't...whole other league.. the wii has around 1 RPG ... and its not a good one. There is no final fantasy XIII coming to the wii, don't say crystal chronciles as that is a dumbed down game for the younger audience. Where you got the 22-29 age range is totally off... The average wii gamer is under 13 or over 40 with 50-60% being women (imo --see what I did there, anyone can make up numbers... that' s just my guess which sounds more appropriate to the babiez, and colorful kid games and the fitness games for the moms of the world.) If you are a long term gamer and have enjoyed all the great games, the more cinematic titles that the playstation and later xbox brand brought out, then you would be needing a console like the ps3 or the 360...

AS much as lemmings and cows duke it out, they always can agree on the game tastes compared to the wii. Wii sports gets old fast , its fun for a few days when you have people to play with. When you don't its not fun at all. The wii in my eyes is like a board game, you take it out for parties, and when everyone leaves you put it away.. These are just my views. i am in no way stating that people can't like the wii as obviously they do.. I just wonder how many of those people are new gamers, kids just getting into gaming, kids of parents that bought them the family friendly console and now can't get anything else, or just people that were nintendo fanatics the previous gens... I really can't see anyone who has owned a ps1 or ps2 and loved the great jrpgs, mgs games, devil may cry games, god of war games, killzone , halo, elder scrolls , time splitters, red faction, gt series, ratchet, jak, ico , indigo prophecy, tomb raider, final fantasy series etc etc... wanting a wii only.

Wow, this post is epic.

I could see your point if you are a casual gamer, which is really what Nintendo markets for nowadays , but i just can't grasp how anyone who played all the famous ps2 / xbox 1 games would be content with just the wii. Wii as a complement system sure, not by itself.

You have FF XIII, we have Dragon Quest X. We have Monster Hunter 3, you have...?


You're generalizing the whole age thing a lot. I've been gaming for my entire life, and I don't feel any pressing need to get a PS3 or 360. Also, don't you think that you're being a little elitist since you're looking down on all of the demographics who don't fall under males from the ages of 13-25? What makes them so much more important then female gamers, adults, or young children who are the future of the gaming industry?

p.s. Call me crazy, but I owned a PS2 last gen and now I am somehow back on a Nintendo console and I somehow survived lol.
