Statistically, and factually, would you say this is true that the Wii is mainly for children and the gameplay is easier than PS3/360? Well at least thats what my friend said.

Considering the non-gamers and casuals are the main demographic of Nintendo -- I find that statement to be, more or less, true to a certain extent.

Wii isn't exclusive to "easy" games this gen, in fact it's just gaming as a whole. It's been getting easier and easier frankly. I don't think gaming this generatin has ever been "challenging" or "difficult." I mean I feel games are just too easy personally...

Yes, Nintendo is for kids.

All their games are easy.

And the 360/PS3 are clearly the hardcore consoles, with the difficult games.

gameplay is easier than PS3/360?Calvan

Consoles have gameplay?

What else have I missed?

Not with the little funds I have at the moment. In fact my latest purchase was just Crysis a few months ago, I know I'm behind, but it's not difficult either. The AI is rather weak in an open ended environment actually.

Anyways, if it's challenging I may give it a shot, I've not played the previous STALKER title too, but because then my PC was crap and couldn't run it.

There are few games that may be challenging, but even then some have gotten soft too (NG 2 is hardly as challenging as NG :( )

Ah -- completely understandable, lad. Well, once you get a better computer -- give Stalker and Stalker Clear Sky a shot, they're brilliant games. :)

No way. The NES, for example, has some of the hardest games you'll ever play.

Wii probably appeals to kids the most -- but it doesn't mean that its exclusively for kids only.

As for gameplay being easy, most games this generation are easy -- The hardest games I've played this year are Mega Man 9, Guitar Hero 3 and God of War 2 (which was a last gen game) -- meh.

arent all games and systems for kids? think about it this way, when you all were kids, didnt you play video games? nes, snes, master system, genesis(megadrive), ps1, n64, sega saturn, 3D0, dreamcast, ps2, gamecube, xbox, xbox 360, ps3, wii. the majority of you all started gaming as a kid on one of these systems, or even some of the ones that predate these systems. therefore, all games/systems are for kids.

Fire Emblem: Radient dawn is one of the hardest games out his gen. Don't forget about Advance Wars: DoR. SMG is harder than most other 3D platformers. MP3 can be pretty hard.

Wii's success has nothing to do with it's appeal to kids - it has everything to do with it's appeal to parents...

Also don't forget that Sin & Punishment 2 is coming in 2009. That will probably frustrate people just like other Treasure games. Also if Nintendo makes a new F-Zero and a new Star Fox those will probably be Similar in difficulty since F-Zero GX is tough.

Edit* I should've known Alexsays was being Sarcastic because he likes Nintendo and I see him in the Wii Boards.

they made the game incrediblily accessible to button mashers by giving the y button it's own default combo. Not to mention that you don't even have to kill most enemies to get rid of them due to the obliteration techniques. Talk about auto-kill.

I like how most people who come to defend the Wii straight out say "most games this gen are easy" instead of facing the main question of "Statistically, and factually, would you say this is true that the Wii is mainly for children and the gameplay is easier than PS3/360?"

No one asked for your general opinion. You can add it, but until you answer, don't beat around the bush.

What factual evidence does anyone have that the Wii is for kids?

Oh, there's none?

Yeah, carry on.

again, I really dont think you have any idea what your talking about.

Path of the Acolyte is easier, but the harder difficulties are MUCH harder.

If you do a repeditive combo they'll do a reversal on your ***.

Nintendo's target audience is consumers around the midst 30's. Wii has the most games that appeal to adults.

Your friend is just insecure probably is my guess.

Then ****ing answer "no."

You can't 'prove' one console does things better or worse than the other. But you sure can give out some good reasons for either direction.

As for my opinion, yeah, most I see from the Wii are crappy 3rd party games that would entertain no one over 5, so.
