The Wii, a great second console.

Its great too own a wii, being able too put the bowling or tennis on when my freinds come round is class.

but when they leave and i want too play a game with depth and substance i cant rely on my wii for that gaming fix. ok metriod and zelda has both of those and i have played through both of these.

but can the wii really be your only console. or is it just a nice compliment too a propper system like the 360, PS3 or PC

its a supliment and to explain why ill list the only good wii games.

mario

zelda

metroid

after these come out the wii has nothing but 3rd party remakes and crap with maby 1 or 2 good games but defintly not worth the 60 dollors. the 360,ps3,pc all have great games comming out from both first and third party devs all year long and this is why the wii is a secondary console.

WOW really thank god cause instead of paying 60 dollors for a crap game i can pay only 50!!!! 10 dollors makes no difference..

I completely agree with the topic creator,anyone thats really into games cant just use the Wii as his sole gaming machine,couse frankly it doesnt offer enough quality single or multiplayer games!(Zelda,Mario or Metroid simply arent enough IMO)

Wii is a great quick fix,plug it in play some short and fun mini games...also its reallyfun to play with your friends but in terms of starting a game and getting hooked to it while thinking omg this game is really something i have to say no,there are some but not really in those terms.

Its great too own a wii, being able too put the bowling or tennis on when my freinds come round is class.

but when they leave and i want too play a game with depth and substance i cant rely on my wii...

For me right now there are so many games I want on the Wii that I would not have enough time to play other games on other systems. I plan on buying a PS3 for the Christmas. But I have no idea how I am going to get more time to play the games.

your exactly right, but im sure most would class their wii as their 2nd console

Yep I want both those consoles but wii can easily be a solo machine but most gamers would have more gaming machines than one

Well the Wii is the only new gen system I own. Total I own 15 game systems. But right now I am only playing the Wii and my DS.

For me, Wii would be the primary console and or 360/PS3 the secondary :P. That logic can be explained that I'd rather have Nintendo's 'childish' franchises over all of the other killer-apps combined, I think :P. Actually, I still have to try any of the 'current' gen consoles but I hope that that time comes soon :(.

Yes, from the looks of it, you do need more than one console this gen and that sucks :| since the gaming budget can be practically doubled thanks to all the accessories that you'll need to buy a second time :o.

I've been gaming since 1976. I've had a console from every generation there has been. And I have always been content with just one console from each generation. I make an educated decision as to which one is for me and never look back.

And truthfully, It has not been hard. There were a few games I thought I wanted on the PS2, but they came out to mediocre reviews. Plus I never really liked Nintendo or Sony consoles, so they would have to do a lot to impress me.

It would only be tough if Sega was still here. Then I am sure I would have to have their system + a 360.

If you have a PC you canget a Wii and easily be happy even if your a real hardcore. If you have a PC you litterally have an Xbox 360 this gen.

Otherwise Wii60 or PSWii is the best combo for sure this gen.

I also have a DS but no next gen console. I am just finishing off this gen by trying to play all the good games I missed.

There are a lot of games I still want to play from last gen also....So I know how you feel about that, I could spend a year just playing FF,DQ and other RPG games I missed.

I'm perfectly content with the Wii as my only next gen console. But hopefully I'll be even more content when I get a 360 in the near future ;)

I have a wii and 360 and so far wii is far superior in the fun factor then the 360 I would say it is my main console due to the better exclusive holiday lineup comeing out

Wii: Medal of honor heroes, Brawl, Galaxy's and maybe Battalion wars (if it's slated towards 07)

360: Mass effect and halo 3 :?

Sorry but games for yoga'ers aren't for me.

I like real games, you know...made for gamers.
threegodhalo

so don't buy wii fit. it's not like that's all the wii has. it's like you're judging the DVD player based on the release of Hanna Montana on DVD.

Anything 7 and up is listed good on gamespot, assuming you're one that only goes by gamespot on system wars.. the wii has quite a number of good titles already. Though i assure you that it is quite capable of arguing that of you outside system wars rules.

The wii can make a good secondary console to people who are already in love with their 360's. But, that doesn't mean the wii IS a secondary console. There are plenty of people who only have a wii, or have other systems and consider the wii to be #1.

I'm very curious to see if there are still many people who think the wii is not capable of supporting itself on its own by the beginning of next year after mario kart, smash bros, and galaxy have dropped(not to mention a handful of other worthy titles).

And your definition of a real game would be, saaaaaaaaaay, different from someone else's, right?

I agree. Xbox360 being your first. Every real gamer should have a wii and a 360. Maybe a ps3 once the goods come and the price drops.Japanese_Monk

Implying that real gamers can't have just a PS3?

Plus, a real gamer doesn't need to have all systems. I don't see how having only one system would make anyone less of a gamer. Care to explain? Some people just can't afford it, money or time. However, it is still their main hobby. (though i suppose the real question we should answer is "what is a gamer"?)

What people fail to realise is that just because you prefer the 360, then the wii and the ps3 as a distant third.. does not mean that is the standard for anyone who is a gamer. Great games come out on all systems, and how fun a game is is in the eye of the beholder.. a key that most people aretoo ignorant, pompous or whatever tounderstand. I know people who read up on tons of other gaming news pretaining to all consoles, people who i consider no less into games then myself, and they only have the PS3.
