Last time I checked, Super Mario Galaxy recieved the same score as Halo 3.

So, 9.5 means that a game is horrible?

I doubt you've even played a Wii.

mario galaxy may be good. wii games taken as a whole though are an embarassment.

I have played Wii, that's why I feel so passionate about the fact that it's total garbage.

It's really going to be sad say, five years from now when the Wii fad has been dead for a couple of years. It's gonna be like how everyone had to finally admit after a couple of years that The Phantom Menace really was a crappy kids movie after the NOSTALGIC HYPE had overtaken them at the release of a newer, slightly more polished version of something that was oh-so valuable to their childhood. I guess every generation has to have their Vanilla Ice/Kriss Kross/New Kids on the Block/Whatever. This generation just happens to be the Wii. VH1 will have a hey-day with you fools.

The Wii is having a first year similar to that of the 360 in terms of exclusive games. So I doubt that...

Wii's game collection has always felt really E rated to me (sparing a few of course)...Plus the fact that all the games I really like are on the Xbox 360...and possibly pS3 (if the socom series manages to get its crap together)

the Wii console is quite a lot more immersive than either of the others. I'm not speaking in graphical terms of course but I am speaking in gameplay immersion. The Wii is a poor man's funbox but I'm having a great time with it.

I thought the wii was good because I picked up Wii Sports at a friend's and could not put it down. Now after purchasing Metroid Prime 3 and the supposed blockbuster that is SMG, I regret that I wasted my money on it. Oh wait, the disc slot is pulsing blue.. I must have receive a system message.

it's designed to be a cheap gimmick to allow nintendo to sell cheap hardware at an inflated price.

that just happens to suck, and they need to be called out on that.

Dude, opinions are opinions. There's no such thing as an "invalid opinion". Yours is equal, but not greater, than anyone elses.

You should really let posts like that go. It's the easy way out. The fence-sitter's way out. OBVIOUSLY it's a difference of opinion, hence the FORUMS to begin with. This is the kind of post that would come from someone who actually WANTS a one-console future.
