Wii lacks just about every franchise that is not Nintendo´s so games like GTA IV , COD4 , UT3 , MGS4 , FF13 , RE5 , Killzone 2 and God of War3 would be missed

The best primary console should be PS3 since games like Resistance provide one hell of a online experience.

Xbugs 360 is not reliable and definitely not worth 400 bucks ,

PS3 + Wii = Perfect Combination

No I disagree. Currently, the 360 is best console on the market in terms of games. I am able to satisfy all my gaming needs with the Wii alone, as my primary console.

Everyone must have a Wii. You choose between 360/PS3/PC, to play the occasional multiplat. That's how I see it ;)

depends on the gamer. Some, its not enough. Me, its my primary, because i know i'll be playing it more than the PS3 (Which ive played, and im getting later). I only want PS3 for FF 13, 13 versus, and Next gen KH.

Agreed, wii is a complimentary console for hardcore gamers like me but for casuals it might as well be their primary.

Disagree. The Wii is my primary gaming console. I bought a 360 about 6 weeks ago and use it as a supplement to my gaming but the majority of my time is spent with the Wii.

Wii right now does get the second hand, however my 360 does too. My PS2 honestly is still the system I playprimarily. Hell I'm catching up on so many games. GoW II is my next purchase I need to get.

Wii will mostly provide exclusive games. It can be a primary console for some and 2ndary for some. For me anyway, since it provides almost nothing but exclusives, it's a 2ndary console.

The Wii is headlined wiht those games, doesn't mean there isn't going to be better games. Third party support is starting to look a lot better than launch. Not only that but Nintendo bought Monolith soft and is working on new IP's. Then of course Wiiware and the VC. Saying those 3 games will be the only worthwhile Wii games is pretty ignorant on your part.

I dunno its way down the line for me right now and won't be getting better any time soon. I still play my PS2 and Dreamcast more, plus I just got Wave Race Blue Storm which is keeping me busy lately (kinda prefer the original though). My future money's will be going on the 360, PS3 then PC instead.

For most multiple-console owners, yes the Wii is a secondary console, but the Wii has definitely proven that it can stand alone in sales.

Numbers don't lie bud, and my PS3 is currently sporting a fine layer of dust from non-use. Can't say the same for my 360 and Wii *shrug*

Wii is my Primary console. You cannot play Wii style games on any other platform.

My PC handles all the multiplatforms.

The problem with Wii at this time is just the third party support.. These lack of quality games make it very frustrating.. Hopefully this will change byt hte end of this year.

I can't imagine what I'd do if I only had the Wii. It's nice but it doesn't cater to my compettitive online shooter hunger.

It really depends on the gamer.One may find it as a good secondary console,while another may like it as their primary console.For me,it's primary,but I also plan on getting a new gaming PC,which may become my primary platform instead.

Me too. I think the Wii, PS2 and DS make a great gaming combo. I would like to have a 360 as well, but will wait for the hardware issue to play out first. At this point who needs the ps3?

For the commited and hardcore gamer, yes, the Wii doesn't fullfill every need like online games and technically proficient games. the Wii is the console you pick up on Friday when the family is over and on Sunday when you want a change of pace, most of the time at least until the next Mario, Metroid or comes out or Zelda.

Wii is more like a tertiary console. Perfect for non gamers and terrible for hardcore gamers. Choose your side of the spectrum.

To tell you the truth I plan on getting the 360 as my secondary console. In the end I'll probably have more Wii games than 360 games since I really like Nintendo's first party games.

For hardcore gamers, it's a secondary console.

For casuals, it's a primary console.

For non-gamer's it's a primary console.

For hardcore sheep, it's a primary console.

This is the reason Wii is going to be the most owned console by far.

Actually this generation the Wii is the only console that has a chance of standing alone. With the 360/PS3 you still don't have the 50-80 Wii exclusives.

As of now yes, but due to all the Japanese and now Western third parties switching off, we'll see.

Wii lacks just about every franchise that is not Nintendo´s so games like GTA IV , COD4 , UT3 , MGS4 , FF13 , RE5 , Killzone 2 and God of War3 would be missed

The best primary console should be PS3 since games like Resistance provide one hell of a online experience.

Xbugs 360 is not reliable and definitely not worth 400 bucks ,

PS3 + Wii = Perfect Combination

blackhorsemen

Well then, enjoy NOT playing Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Brothers Brawl. All of which are huge GOTY contenders. Wii has some awesome exclusives too, just remember that before you make silly posts.

did you read what he said? he said its good secondary. meaning you do have one to play those AAA games
