Why is that PS3 doesn't have the library and the PS3 is $149 more than 360 (temporarily). It will be $599 again after the 60GB version is out. Plus you could argue the 360 hardware is equal or better in a lot of aspects.

Because they're either:

A: Casuals who are into shallow, simple, stupid crap

B: Fanboys who never get tired of playing the same re-hashed Nintendo franchises

C: Too cheap to buy a proper console

D: A Nintendo fan who had faith in them, but only learned after he bought his Wii, that they are indeed heading down the casual route. Maybe played some TP, but looks at the astonishing amount of shovel ware/casual crap, and regrets paying $250.

It's just not worth it, over a 360, and even a PS3. At least PS3 has some good multi-plats, most of the Wii multi-plats are watered down embarassments. And 360's software library is magnificent, especially the exclusives and bi-plats.

Ya that is a FORTUNE! Considering the extra value it is a steal. The wii is like the tard pack (core)on 360. Just because it's cheaper who should really buy it.

Wii's online sucks to begin with. What games are you playing FREE online with it?

It's free because it's complete crap. The only good thing is the Opera browser, youtube on your TV. :lol: Yipee, friends codes! Whereas on XBL I can just join a lobby/match and jump right into a game, and add a friend with a few A button presses, as opposed to convoluted codes crap. And many multi-plat's dont even have online mp.

Not that I agree or disagree, but using the logic that the 360 is worth 100 dollars more, then you could turn around and make the same argument that the PS3's extra offerings are a better value for only 149 dollars more than the 360. No matter what anyone says, the PS3 offers more than the 360 does in terms ofpure hardware.

Now you can argue, who has better specs vs. price and whats worth more to each consumer. Such as games etc. . . .

Wii definetely is worth owning, the 360 is better and if I could only own one that would be my choice, however

for Wii there's: Super Paper Mario, best version of Zelda: TP, Wii Sports, Super Mario Galaxy, best version of Resident Evil 4, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Metroid Prime 3, Batallion Wars 2, Zak and Wiki, Dewy's Adventure, Resident Evil: UC, Monkey Ball: BB, Endless Ocean, Mario Kart Wii, exclusive Fire Emblem, Sadness (if it ever gets released), virtual console, and free online

enough reasons to warrant a purchase imo

Mario Strikers Charged. Madden NFL (which plays better than the PS3). And I might be playing Brawl and 26 other games online as well.

Madden is better on 360 than Wii first off this isn't a PS3 comparison (even though PS3 version scored higher than Wii). MIGHT BE PLAYING LOL....26 in what the year 2009?

The wii is mostly for the non gamer aud. so stop bashing it because your not a non gamer. Besides its on a different level from the ps3/360. Its going out its own way. Stop chassing it. It's no longer the gamecube. Difinitely worth more to a lesser gamer than 360.

It does for now... because they were late to the table, but they are improving rapidly...

Sure it doesn't have the frills of PSN, or XBL... but hey it plays games online... and some even with out friend codes... That's really all I need.

I do.

When I buy something, the number 1 thing that I consider is "customer satisfaction."

I don't always want the best deal. I want to keep myself the happiest. Getting the best deal is often included in that idea, but there are many more dynamics involved.

I buy what is going to make me the happiest. I buy what will be the most fun.

For example, the Honda Accord is one of the best cars around as far as all-around practicality and value. It's a fantastic car. However, it might not fit all of my needs or desires. The BMW M3 might not be as practical or well-priced, but it might be what I am seeking from a car (performance and flare), so I might opt to go with the "worse" deal and get the car that I want instead.

Get what I'm saying? The Wii would be a "better deal" than the 360 to me if ithad the $600 price tag of the PS3.

Yes anything can happen. Halo 3 is coming as well as tons of other games that are going to be amazing. My 360 is getting some serious PT lately. But still doesn't change the fact that you were wrong. Wii out sold 360 in May :P

I say no BUT thats only because the 360 core arcade edition is coming and its got hdmi, 256k mem card, a wireless controller, 5 free arcade titles and most likley the new chip set for $280. Look that one up if you haven't seen it yet.

The other option is the Halo edition 360 for $400, and When you get sick of that one in a few years you can sell it to a collector.

My Halo edition original xbox paid for 70% of my 360.

I don't think you can really say that 100 dollars isn't a big difference, to some people it may be a lot, especially a difference in console prices. You can't really expect everyone to be like you.

With that logic why not just buy a Gaming PC? Sure another $350 would be steep but you get more games, better graphics, better backwards compatablity,faster loading, better online, better controls, a mod community, etc.

When I buy consoles, I'm not buying them for the specs; I buy them for the experience they offer, which comes from the games. Say what you want about the components of the Wii being cheaper than what it's being sold for, but I love Nintendo games and I more than find the value worth it to play them.

Only reason the wii manufacturing costs as much as it does, is to make the console as small as it is. If the wii was as big as say the gamecube, it'd probably cost about 100-150$ to make. I think it costs about 180-200$ to make a wii, which means its still overpriced. I'm am VERY FRICKEN suprised nobody, that i know of except me, has used the term n$ntendo.

$100 cheaper and no RROD to worry about. The Wii is definitely worth it.Zhengi
The new 360s have the better chipset so why this argument still continues is beyond me. Also like previously stated the Core Arcade pack with memory is $280 so it's only $30 more. What is the excuse now

[QUOTE="goblaa"]Well, the 360 can't play wii games...so, yes.i_like_pizza

What's with the "Wii Hater" tag? It must be a joke, right? I miss Antonio

Notice he wrote "Not a" above the tag. Sneaky.
