The Wii was unnecessary

It didn't do anything to push game really nor did it improve over the Gamecube.

Wii had a bad online service like on the GC as well.

No DVD player

Same graphics and processing power as the GC as well.

The Wii never needed to exist as it did nothing groundbreaking during its existance.

Whether or not you liked it personally has no relevance. It has great games that people enjoy, and it set a new standard for 3D platformers.

Neither did the Gamecube. Nintendo's smart and realized their fanbase doesn't care about all that, they just want some casual entertainment. Plus they made a good move adding Netflix to their console.

There's no sense for Nintendo to change it's approach when it's obviously working.

The Wii was the most revolutionary thing to happen this genration. You're entirely wrong.

So each console needs to do something groundbreaking?

How times have changed.. Back then everyone was bashing Wii, now its totally different.

That's a weired way to spell unnecessary.

Meh, I just think it needs a bit of work as I enjoyed quite a bit of online games on Wii, but I can kind of give you that one.

Good god, are we still on about that? Nintendo is a gaming company. They don't so stuff like DVD's. Besides, it isn't even necessary.

Actually, Wii has a bit better graphics than GameCube.

Again, motion controls.

Motion controls. Whether you like them or not doesn't make a difference, they had a huge impact this gen, and the Wii was the forefront of that.

Also, in response to your last sentence; none of the consoles this gen did anything i would consider "groundbreaking"ferret-gamer

/thread

The consoles this gen are exactly the same as the previous gen ones. Honestly, the ps3 is a ps2 with better graphics and 360 is a xbox with better graphics.

That's a weired way to spell unnecessary.

Thats a weird way to spell weird.

Trololololol.

Nintendo's console, and their hardware in general, are great. Sure as far as tech goes, their not as good as their competitors. But I don't play graphics, I play games, and Nintendo's first party, only playable on the Wii geez what a shock, is above and beyond anything on 360/Ps3.

To be fair, a PS3 or 360 look unnecessary, given that most households have a PC that does the same + more in a standard build. Even to the extent of blu rays. At least the motion controls made a clear distinction other than being just a console which is easy to boot up.

1) Motion Controls.

2) Brought an entire new demographic, the casual, to the gaming scene. I also think it effectively changed the stereotype of a gamer.

I mean, what more do you want? Shall the Wii sprout arms and legs and cook an omelette whilst loading screens for it to be revolutionary?

Tennagers are unecssary.

Kids should go straight from 8 to 23.

Teenagers are annoying.

They are always trying to act like grown ups, but they don't really know what grown ups act like.

Plus, they don't understand the concept of paragraphs.

Or spell unnecessary.

wii rased up a new generation of gamers...and what a great way to start out. Seems to me that the PS3 and 360 are very similar to one another. I think a better case could be made that you only needed one of them this gen making the other unnecessary (unescssary if you will)

Yeah motion control wasn't relavent at all this gen. :roll:

If they're such a laughing stock then why did Sony and MS also get motion controls.

Come back when you know what you're talking about because I bet you don't even own a Wii.

[QUOTE="AzatiS"] dont be so "sheep" please... What PS3/360 has anything to do with that guys statement? Or when i said PS3/360 were revolutionary? I would had facepalm the same way if someone said the same thing for PS3/360. AzatiS

And now we call a console revolutionary because it attracted more casuals than others? And after that the epic exaggeration of omelette?

Hahaha!! That was funny seriously. Sheeps these days are epic fun

[QUOTE="AzatiS"][QUOTE="MLBknights58"]Well then... that clears that up. I guess you think PC is the only light in all the industry? Don't be so "hermit" please...

[QUOTE="AzatiS"][QUOTE="Bigboi500"]If you disagree, at least with consoles, explain how PS3 and/or 360 has done more new things for gaming this gen.

Ok , so because i dont agree with term "revolutionary" for Wii that guy spoke of , if you ask me is a very heavy word to say for gaming and if you google youll see what i mean , does that mean i dont give credit to Nintendo , im a PS3/X360 fan , Hermit or nintendo hater automatically ?

I dont get you.On the other hand If i accept Wii as revolutionary , something that its far from being a revolution doesnt that make me a fanboy instead?

Where is the problem with what i said to that guy , i dont get it...

Of course its unecessary. Itsan entertainment device. The PS3 and 360 aren't needed, either.

[QUOTE="Bigboi500"]

[QUOTE="AzatiS"] Omg , come on now man. Stop the trash talk. All i did was answer that guys statement. Dont trying desperatly to say things that i never said or meant. What PC has to do with what i said to that guy? In fact i would had facepalm for PC as well... Youre too sheep for your own good seriously. We are not all here biased like you or other fanboys around. There are some unbiased people around , dont try so hard to put me in a category. With my statement above you cant. Stop it and Spin off please. A bit There you are sheep. Now respondAzatiS

I don't agree with calling what they've done "revolutionary" either btw. I've had a bunch of bad experiences with some hermits lately, them being very rude and snobbish with me and other users who don't agree that PC gaming is the be-all, end-all for everything gaming, so I guess I over-reacted to your post.

I think the ps3 was unnecessary. They could have just put some of the exclusives on xbox and we'd have been good. At least the Wii gives us different kinds of games that are actually fun.

The Wii was necessary, it brought millions of new people into gaming and made it mainstream

Let me ask you this, TC:
Was adding the ability to play DVDs NECESSARY to to gaming consoles? No?

As for me, I'm glad the Wii, along with the PS3 and 360 came about and delivered me games.
Sure, the Wii may not be as powerful as its competitors, but its exclusives is something I will always come back to.
Graphics don't make the console, and I think the Wii has proven this to a degree.
