Wii brings a lot to gaming. New gamers, and a new way of playing video games. It's the X Box 360 that can harm gaming. M$ has a lot money they can put into a crappy system like the X Box 360.

Because you get the same damn arguement everytime you say the Wii sucks.
"You're just paying attention to the showelware."(yeah, ignore how games like MadWorld and No More Heroes sell like crap compared to Wii Fit)
"The PS2 had showelware as well(despite getting AA/AAA games on a regular basis unlike the Wii)"
"Nintendo didn't intend the Wii for hardcore gamers."(TP and SMG. Nuff said. Nintendo knows it can make hardcore games, but TP taught me they take a while to make)
"It was really hardcore gamers that are killing the game industry."(then why are you on a board filled with hardcore gamers?)

You can post this troll thread and nobody says anything. I go into a thread asking what your favorite game is, I quote someone who posted my favorite games, agree with them and I get a TOS violation for "Disruptive Posting." MODs, what is going on here?

No, back in the PSone and PS2 days, both casuals and hardcores were under one roof, so both hardcore and casual games sold. Now Nintendo have taken them all leaving less people wanting the true gaming systems

Maybe because if it wasn't for Nintendo you wouldn't be playing any home video game system... only PC.... maybe you should study your history and realize that because of the NES we have the PlayStation, SNES, and thus the PS2, Xbox, and then... PS3, 360 that you love so much....

The home video game market was dead, Nintendo went out on a limb against everyone's advice, and still made the system... thus giving us the home video game console industry.

I dont like the Wii or its stance in the market. No console with too much crap on it should sell that well no matter who made it.

I mean the Nintendo 64 and even the Gamecube deserved better success than the Wii because quite frankly they had better games out for them.

So if Nintendo weren't around, those people would automatically become "hardcore" gamers and flock to the 360/PS3? Get your story straight.

because every ps3 and xbox 360 owner knows its a waste of breath to argue with WII user. most of usagree its meant for familes and 9 year olds. there is no hate because something that just wont die, kind of like a mosquito it just hums and drives everyone nuts.

I'd rather play the "same old junk with better graphics" that have a LOT of good games than the "something new and pushing things foward" console with a pathetic amount of good games (most of Nintendo's are awesome, however).

Couldn't you easily turn that to one of the pseudo-hardcore as well? Just for fun, couldn't I say:

"Me be casual

Me likes big explosion and much blood

I give lots muny to Sony/MS"

Of course it's a false statement (well except for hardcore, why not just call it elitist and be done with shielding the term for what it really is?) and, for more fun, explain to me how this fits into the dynamic of true/real/hardcore/someothermadeupphrasetoelevateyourself.

nobody hates on the wii because it's a joke. we hate on things that are defendable, because it's so much more fun than, ROFL the motion sensing in the ps3 is more capable than yours, and it's your main feature! plus ours can vibrate, and don't make stupid noises.

It didn't limit the vision of the developers of World of Goo, De Blob, Zack and Wiki, MadWorld, Battalion Wars, Super Mario Galaxy, etc etc. Developers made good games before HD graphics, correct? Yeah.. so there's that.

I agree 110%. But at least the Nintendo 64 sold more than 30 million units World-wide.:)
