The Wii takeover has to end! The true gaming machines need to be in charge!

This Wii craze is making me sick.  When I think of sweet games that I want from the Wii, the only ones that come to mind are Mario Galaxy, Zelda TP, Metroid 3, SSBM, and...?!  And what?!  4 freaking games!  There are no games for this system!  There are no cutting edge graphics!  This isn't an evolution in gameplay, and don't bring up remakes or spinoffs, because the Wii's game lineup is utter garbage!

Wii sports is a fun game, and I've played it to death, but the only other game I can stand is Zelda TP.  Why?  It's Zelda, that's why, but I admitedly would rather have played that game on the Cube.  Same goes for the others.

Meanwhile nobody wants to pick up a PS3, because it's to expensive.:(  Go get a job, and save gaming!  Why nobody can spend the extra $150 to get a 360 is beyond me.  Let alone the fact that they can pick up a core for $50 more.

The 360 and PS3 are about to hit their full stride going into 2008.  Although I hate Sony's online it doesn't matter, because at the end of the day both the 360 and PS3 out perform the Wii.  The 360 simply has online mastered to the fullest and it just keeps getting better.  Now how about some sweet games!  The Wii has next to nothing compared to the 360 and PS3.

This is system wars, and the PS3 and 360 controll it.  The Wii should never even be mentioned here, because of its inferiority.  The games that the 360 and PS3 have are on a whole nother level!  Halo 3, Motorstorm, Dirt, Too Human, MGS4, GTA4, Kane & Lynch, Mass Effect, Alan Wake, Brothers In Arms 3, Call Of Duty 4, Battlefield Bad Company, Gran Turismo 5, Burnout 5, Resident Evil 5, Forza 2, Bioshock, Half Life 2 Orange, Blue Dragon, Assassins Creed, Oblivion, Heavenly Sword, Lair, Fable 2, Rainbow Six Vegas, Sega Rally Revo, Project Gothem Racing 4, All Pro Football 2K8, NBA 2K8, Lost Planet, The Club, The Darkness, Virtua Fighter 5, Stranglehold, Drakes Fortune, FF13, Viva Pinata, Crackdown, Gears Of War, Killzone PS3, and the list goes on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Better games on next gen systems, and yet here Wii are.:|  That stupid system is on a selling spree and everybody's happy.:)  Everybody's like; yah go Nintendo, or It's good to see Nintendo dominating again! I say no.  This dumb Wii rediculousness is out of control.  What's the point of putting motion sensing controls into every single gaming genre?  All of the sudden this makes games better?  Why Sony jumped on Nintendo's bandwagon I'll never know, because they didn't need Six-Axis.  They just need six games worth playing right now, and thier focus got all out of wack.

Microsoft needs the Elite to be a hit, and Sony needs someone to buy that Playfreakingstation 3!  I knew the would sell like nobody's business at $250 clams, but why in heavens name can't the other machines move more than they are?  The 360 has tons of games, so I don't see peoples excuse one way or the other.  The PS3 will hit it's stride come Christmas, and I better see some price cuts, so that these cheapo's can start to help out the Hardcore Gamers!!!  Not hold them back.

I don't want to play games with grandma!:|  I want to play HD games like Halo 3 online or Lan, and I want the latest and greatest hardware being pushed to the limits!  Thanks for the rehashed games on last gen hardware Nintendo.  Way to hold gaming back. 

How about the one made by a true gaming company wins, instead of something that is a segment of a larger company?  Yeah, that sounds good.jeffwulf

Actually, whats happening with the Wii is a great thing for the industry. Because of innovations and fat people are finally getting off their lazy butts and are actually MOVING for a change. :|

True gaming machines?

What makes the PS3 and 360 more of a gaming machine than the Wii? Last i checked,all of the current gen machines are adding things to it which nothing to do with gaming!

Last gen consoles are 'truer gaming machines' than the ones this gen. And last last gen even more so. :?

lol actually, I think its pathetic that a true gaming company who focuses on just gaming gets beat by a segment of a larger company that doesnt completly focus on it. Im sure that Nintendo..... is better than the people who created software for computers... and the people who make TVs and pretty much anything technology associated (LOL). Gaming today has consoles turning into media centers, which is awesome. Nintendo needs to realize that. Its kinda stupid too how Microsoft makes its own games which nintendo doesnt do, and they become absolutly HUGE. (Halo 2, Gears of War)

"True gaming machines" are the reason why most people hate video games or stopped playing them.karicha9

Yeah, let's embrace over-priced and over-rated technology made by money-grubbing mega corporations over cheaper yet innovative and enjoyable technology made by a company that's prime focus is actually gaming! What's Nintendo ever done for the game industry apart from recovering it from the great console crash of '83, make some of the best franchises of all time, and some of the best consoles of all time (NES/SNES)? I'm personally happy that Nintendo's making a comeback, though they probably deserved to be last for a while for shafting Sony so badly back in the day.

True but those huge games you mention are popular to the hardcore market. Gamecube was lame because they tried to play in the same league with the PS2 and XBox. Regarding to media centers. At first, consoles becoming media centres became a popular trend during the PS2 era. However, due to costly add-ons (X360) and higher price tag (PS3) a lot of consumer were alienated especially casuals because they only want to play games, simple as that, online or not. They don't want a console that plays movies, etc. etc., when they can do it cheaper in the PC. Nintendo finally realized that they should introduce a new approach to video gaming that is really has product differentiation like the Wii. As a resultm despite anaylst and developers expect it to fail, it exceed expectations. Consoles should not be a media centre because PC has been doing that all along and way better than consoles.

Actually theres two in this one.

I gotta agree with the OP I really dislike Nintendo for making the Wii. Their basically making fools of people selling a overprice GC with motion sensing and they don't lose money on their console not willing to take the hit for the customer like Sony or MS if your going to sell me a overprice GC at least only make it 50$.

This is like Nintendo proving most peoples are idiots they basically said look we can sell people crap and they will buy it if their a gimmick to it. The games are shallow short fast pace games ment to take your money make you laugh for a few hours and then you never play them again. This could hurt gaming in ALOT of ways think of it like this what if next-gen the consoles don't upgrade their graphics/AI instead its all the same as this gen but with lets say MS gives you VR goggles with their console, Sony builds their console around the Eyetoy cam. Devs will love it like they love the Wii since they can make games cheaply with no new tech and they can make half-a#% gimmick games like they are doing for the Wii.

I don't know about some of you but I like new graphics and I love better A.I. I mean look at the difference between the first MGS AI and then the newer ones its a world of difference.

The "tradition" was starting to get stagnant for me. Quite in fact, I wouldn't even find this generation as interesting as it is, without the Wii and what it brings to the table.

SSBM is a GameCube game....:|

one after another :roll: i also realsied when a lemming or a cow mentions the wii games they alwys say 2 or 3 while they mention alost every single game on the other console.reyad-u

I know, seriously. :|

Its kinda stupid too how Microsoft makes its own games which nintendo doesnt do, and they become absolutly HUGE. (Halo 2, Gears of War)wergfwefwef

Halo 2 is made by Bungie, not Microsoft.  Bungie is second party.  Gears of War is made by Epic, which is also not Microsoft and third party.  Nintendo, on the other hand, has made Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Metroid, Star Fox....and the list goes on.  You can't even be called a gamer if you are so ignorant.

Oh, and Mario and Pokemon are what I'd call absolutely huge.  Those franchises have sold far more than Halo 2 and Gears.  But to be fair, those franchises have been out longer.  So in order to be fair, I'll just let you pick which Mario platformer or Pokemon game you want that has sold more than Halo 2 and Gears of War.

A lot of Wii jealousy and denial in this thread. People would be much better off if they just accept the fact that the Wii is the only true next gen machine and will easily outsell the others combined.

....Rather, don't need Nintendo bringing us back to the days of Super Metroid, LoZ: Link to the Past, Super Mario World, Star Fox, and a metric tonne of damned excellent 3rd-party titles that I won't list here because the post would takes ages to read? Whatver floats your boat, but I'd quite happily relive those days, thanks.

It is said that hatred comes from fear. So to hate what you fear most means that to hate the wii is implying that you must fear the wii will ruin gaming.

Why? 

I think entertainment has two levels. The family friendly level where movies and games the whole family can participate and enjoy without complexity. The non-family level where violence and sexual content are more appropriate. Nintendo has always made it their goal to put the family first. We as older gamers had to start at the roots which was more than likely Nintendo (for older...Atari). As we got older we graduated to the more mature games and now here we are faced with a choice of what to let OUR children play when it comes to games. 

I enjoy playing games with my kids and yet I still like playing games that aren't appropriate for my kids. Which is why it is best to have a system for them and a system for yourself. The wii will not ruin gaming. It is doing to gaming what has been lost for a long time. It is bringing it back full circle where fun for everyone is the idea. That does NOT mean that your purchase of a 360 or PS3 is the wrong choice. It simply means that those with children can start them off with what was fun for them when they were kids. If you don't have kids...don't worry about it. your system will be supported. 

This Wii craze is making me sick.

Meanwhile nobody wants to pick up a PS3, because it's to expensive.:( Go get a job, and save gaming!

This is system wars, and the PS3 and 360 controll it.

They're all true gaming machines.  The Wii happens to have something different to offer.  And I find it very funny how people still use the "Wii has no games!" excuse.  But I'm not going to post a long list of games to own you because you'll just ignore it anyway.  Nobody says you have to buy a Wii.  If you hate it so much, don't buy it.  You're not going to sway anyone's judgement with a fanboy rant.-The-G-Man-

The Wii just happens to have something different to offer??????  What's different about a Gamecube slaping motion controls onto the same games we played last gen, or for that matter the gen before!

You can honestly tell me that the Wii has games!  My brother got his Wii for Christmas and has 3 whole games!  Zelda TP, Wii Sports, and Red Steel, because we simply had to see if a FPS could work on this system.  Guess what?  It doesn't!  You can't make strides in gaming if you don't have better memory, and graphics horsepower!  The memory leads to the all important A.I., and graphics lend a huge hand to the immersion factor!

I'll be the first to admit that Zelda TOOT was great and I was completely immersed and invovled in the story, but games ahve changed since mutliple generations ago, so wake up and smell the coffee!!!!

This Wii is nothing but garbage and the only other games that will ever be worth puchasing will once again come from Nintendo.  That's roughly 6-8 more games I'm thinkingm before the Wii is totally useless.

The True gaming machines need to be in charge? Wow and here I was thinking that the Wii was the only true gaming machine seeing as how MS and all of its multimedia and PS3 with Blu-Ray and all of its extra's. The Wii is a gaming machine and nothing more so by your logic wouldn't that be the only true gaming machine?Blackbond

Yeah, the Wii must be a true gaming machine if they can slap motion controls on old A.I. and keep us back in the stone age with those graphics.  How do you push gaming when your machine can't be pushed?  Answer me that one?
