Because the Wii cant please everyone. Just like the PS3/Xbox360 cant please anyone, however their are many stupid arguments against it.

I think it's mostly because the graphics suck and there's not enough space to hold all the VC downloads. The games aren't all that exciting either. Given it's still a new system and needs a bit more time for some really interesting games, it's lack of really compelling ones is what's hurting it now at this moment.

I don't hate it, I'm quite interested in playing games like NMH and Super Paper Mario. But I do believe is a rip off.

Wow you used the Mario arguement. I seriously just can't understand how anyone can say that, when the series is still getting AAA's. It isn't Sonic you know.

I dont get it.....

So what if it doesnt have a built in hard drive and who really cares that most of its games look like they can be done on a xbox, Online? who needs it, DVD player? thats so last gen, Mario game #38? Bring it on he never gets old...

It cost 250 to make for a reason whoops 200....ill spend the extra 50 to play with the Wiimote because guess what its all about gameplay!

I have a Wii60. What I notice about Wii and X360 is that they are way too different that it offers way different kinds of games to different kinds of gamers, hardcore and casuals. However, from what I see, the lemmings and cows are really upset of the Wii because it really does change the way you play games. These lemmings and cows AKA hardcore gamers are mostly traditional gamers like Conservatives who does not want radical change. They are so used to graphic upgrade as that is the case of the predecessor consoles, and I don't blame them. Console next-gen are always measure by graphic leap. Gamecube use to have the same league as of the xBox and PS2, you can't really differentiate them. That cause NIntendo to lose more userbase. But now, they have a different approach and I can see it as a good one as Miccrosoft said: Nintendo did something right.

Success that the Wii is having. According to the charts at VGCharts, the Wii is at 60% of the userbase of the 360. Those are some pretty good numbers if true.

Compared to good Ps2 games,yes,it does look slightly better in most cases.
But compared to good games on Ps3/360,not at all...

There's been numerous arguements with it, Heavenly Sword and LBP. Though technically it's a no brainer, something suggests otherwise.

Whilst I understand your logic,I dont know if it's entirely accurate...
1)Ps3 and 360 both have new controllers,and both can run old games like the Wii can.
2)Sales number wise,4 million isnt that much,considering Dreamcast did 11 million...
3)I like Zelda,but apart from it,there's nothing original on the Wii.

        I hate it for the fact that it is a cheap gimmick system that is selling because of all the non-gamers.  If wii wins by a long shot in sales(which looks like is going to happen), i have this fear of gaming being ruined.  What would stop sony and ms from doing the same thing the wii has done if they notice the huge profit in it? I dont want that to happen. Gaming as we know it would be gone.

       Even though i happily like my wii i extremely hope that it suffers after next year.

wii is terrible if you like normal games that you sit down and enjoy instead of just minigames nonsense... probably why i haven't touched mine in a month and a half. Not really a system for those are hardcore or play a lot of games with deeper thought. i hate it, rather have an xbox 1 with games...

Fanboyism aside,LBP cant be done on the Wii,and honestly,there's no game on Wii that will ever come close to HS visually.
