The worst anit-wii article of the year! hold on to your seats.

http://www.waleg.com/techgadgets/archives/010303.html

What's the real problem with Nintendo Wii? There's a list of things and I'll start with Longevity ... It does not have the longevity to live very long. The technical specs just aren't there. For one it can only output 720X480 resolution. And since flat screen TVs produce roughly 1900X1200 resolution, you have to stretch that picture three times its size, making for a very blurry and jaggy image.

Remember the people buying the Wii are not real gamers. They are going to buy it like they would buy any nostalgic device. The Wii could have been a Beanie Baby for all we care. It just so happens that the gimmicky gadget of the year is in the video game realm. This really is not a next gen system. The buzz already is the Wii is boring to play. I am not talking about newbie buzz, I am talking about year old owners who are just simply bored out of their minds with the Wii.

I had one Wii owner view the PS3 for the first time, and he was a kid in a candy store, it made me laugh. He was so excited and could not believe the visuals and realism of Assassins Creed and the intense game play of WarHawk. He was blown away with the colors and vivid realism of Uncharted Drakes fortune. The only thing he was thinking about was how to get rid of his Wii !

I feel bad for Wii owners, because they are getting duped on a crappy gimmicky product!

I do give credit to Nintendo for their controller, but it's just a matter of time. Sony already has that technology built into their system with the six axes controller. In fact I see the games coming. There is a Bowling game on the PS Network that you can download and bowl, using real bowling form. You actually bowl using the six access controller. The game looks identical to a Wii game. Sony is smart, they are testing the waters. They have Wii technology built in. Just wait till they start producing Wii like games, plus all of the HD technology they have built into their unit. Sony is smart not to rain on the Wii parade just yet, as that would just upset people, but the storm is coming and the Wii is not built to stand up against it. They have ZERO scalability, where as Sony has the luxury of moving backwards to make itself Wii-able. Also, one nice thing about Sony's controller, is it has the same functionality as the Wii's controller but does not need the IR bar in front of the TV. It functions using 6 gyros inside of the controller, to understand it's placement. Much more innovative. Finally there is a patent pending that was posted last year by Sony at the launch of the Wii for a controller that is almost identical to the Wii, like I said the storm is coming and Sony is backing up to include this silly gimmick in its game lineup.

Finally, I am just curious to all you Wii owners out there. When your friends and family leave your party, do you really jump around your living rooms alone??? I didn't think so, like I said Gimmick.

Oh - and I can't leave out the Xbox 360, red ring of death anybody? Microsoft makes crap and has been doing so since their first OS. How's Vista working for you? I switched back to XP. How about that Zune? My iPhone says die already! Anyone's Xbox steering wheel catch on fire lately. WAKE UP!!!

I'm not disgruntled but I hope if any confused newbies read this they just get the facts and buy a PS3. Don't be suckered into buying this other junk.

Then they are probably not going to care too much about a slightly blurry image with jaggies, they're not real gamers so they are not looking at images of Crysis.
Second, the people who are not real gamers yet are buying Wiis will probably not own an HD TV, and even if they did it would be highly doubtfull it would have such a high resolution.

I agree with what the article says...

Somewhat its not that horrible the wii. I understand the thing about "Kid in a candy store with the PS3" cause some people like me prefer the PS3 with great visuals and great exclusives (Coming soon) (OK coming 2009 if they keep getting delayed). The wii isnt as bad as he makes it seem.

As for the Xbox part after that i just got somewhat annoyed i have 8 people in my class and none of their xbox 360's broke. Someone in my friends class had his broke, fixed, broke, etc 6 times until he decided to buy a PS3 but thats beside the point.

This guy makes a great point but dont forget HE IS A MAJOR SONY FANBOY

ProtorushX, did you write this?Arsuz

I'm a pretty hardcore gamer. I own over 20 systems (including all 3 next-gen systems) and I find myself playing Wii the most because the PS3's/360 game library are pretty much the same with a few exclusives each. Mostly FPS'ses with a few good RPG's, racers and other action games. I've played so many 'next-gen' FPS'ses I've franky lost interest in the genre. Wii excels at niche genres. I own 14 games and only 2 of them are FPS'ses. I have an RPG, racer, mini-game (Warioware), platformer (SMG), side-scroller (Metal Slug), strategy/sim (Trauma Centre), arcade shooter (RE:UC).... You get the picture.

Well, he's got issues huh?

Wow, just wow.

People buying the Wii are not real gamers?

So I guess all of us who have a Wii as a second system are not real gamers.

Man, did the Playstation 3 turn into a dude, and write this, lol?

This would be a bad post for system wars, much less a new article. Thanks for showing us this. It is the most biased thing I've ever read.

lol, omg, this is at the end:

lol.. Microsoft makes crap since their first OS.. so he switched from Vista back to XP... didn't Microsoft make XP?

what I wanna know is, does my Wii use the sensor bar for motion control? No? didn't think so.

Who cares about what some idiot says. If you like your Wii good for you, I love my PS3 good for me, now lets all have party. BTW my sister that has never played videogames bought a wii and now she kinda got into it and was playing uncharted the other day. Hate or Love wii this might be a good idea to attract new gamers and some females, so it's not always a sausage fest.

so much truth *tears*.

i stopped reading at "it doesent have the horse power to last". anyone who thinks that horse power has a huge effect on the lasting appeal of a console needs a serious beating over the head. look at the PS1 and 2 (2 outsellling the technically far superior PS3 month after month).....theres plenty of evidence to show that horse power has little effect on a consoles life span.

hell i could use that argument with PC vs PS3 and 360.

[ sarcasam]

PCs make consoles look like pathetic little wannabe gaming toys....only real gamers play on PC. let the casual trash play on their pathetic, underpowered, baby consoles while us PC gamers get down to serious gaming.

[/sarcasam]

that argument is stupid on so many levels its not funny.
