I bought a Wii at launch(camped out for 16 hours, in the cold) but now i feel obligated to buy a 360.

Why isn't there more games worth playing for the wii.. after zelda, resident evil 4, metroid paper mario.... I kinda feel like there's no reason to turn my wii on and concluded that I needed an other console, hence I ordered a 360 elite with oblivion GOTY edition, eternal sonata, bioshock, command and conquer and ghost recon... o yeah Halo 3 also but I'm not gonna have that until next week though. I feel like I'm gonna have the best week of my life, and that my wii is gonna spend a lot of time in my closet.. well at least until brawl comes out and IF it is online.

For alot of people wii is considered the side dish of consoles, it goes good with the main one, complimenting it, but by itself it just isnt enough.

You're impatient, the console hasn't even been out a year. Only console that had a great line up before its first year anny was the DC.

Reason I changed from a sheep to a manticore:

Now everyone can equally hate me. :D

I've considered selling my Wii, but WiiSports is still pretty fun. I haven't gotten around to opening Zelda (which I bought at launch), or buying any of the other big hitters because I'm just not that interested in them.

I'm glad I bought a 360. No more having to deal with stupid compatibility issues for PC-style games. :D

Meh, there are plenty of games for me. There are still four more games that I am planning to buy this year, which are Zack and Wiki, Mario Galaxy, SSBB, and BWII.

Pretty bad time to sell the wii imo.

If there arent enough wii gamesgames to interest you by the end of this year (and there are many good ones) then you may as well sell it then. I would have ay least waited until Brawl or Galaxy.

So wait. You had all that money to spend on a 360 and games, yet you probably didn't try 3/4's of the Wii library? Well, no one can tell you how to spend your money. Have fun.

Sorry but people like you make me mad, arguing with an angry cow is one thing, but somebody saying that they converted their way of thinking is just blasphemous. Fanboy is a way of mind, you believe in your designated company. I have respect for other fanboys because they have the courage to defend their chosen console no matter what, but to say that you switched?!?! Ha, you don't deserve the title Lemming OR Sheep.

I'm in the same boat, its a waste of space. Although my deal is I love everything but the Wii, including everything else they've produced, GO DS!

It was originally going to be my only console this gen ironically after owning everything from the last.

Any real gamer with a slight feel of selfrespect will at least have a ''main'' system to play his games on.

Metroid Prime no online = fail Can't believe how sheeps are getting hyped by this piece of trash.

Put the Wii where it belongs... in garbage that is :P

Simplely put, without my Wii, I lose.

And, without my Xbox 360, I lose.

With both, I double win.

no seirous gamer would ONLY own a wii. Its kinda sad really.

Every other system, pc, 360, and ps3 can and are viable options on their own due to a combination of multiplats and exclusives. the wii is the only console which simply doesnt have the goods to be a gamers go to console. what a sad little "gaming" machine nintendo has created.

That justs makes you one step closer to becoming a manticore. You haven't really "converted" or anything until you sell your Wii, if you decide to do that.

Wait, a game is trash based on no online mode.

When I compare it to Halo 3 you bet it is. Online adds alot of replay value to the game. Nowadays all games have online support. Except for Nintendo with their arrogant view towards online gaming. Metroid Prime could be a much better game otherwise. Do you realise the potential here? No I guess not. Not many sheeps do unfortunately.Blindly supporting Nintendo even though you aren't getting anything back in return.

Many sheep have become lemmings but still pretend to be sheep, they play their 360's while their Wii's collect dust.

Bioshock doesn't need online, as does Metriod 3 doesn't need it, not every game needs online play. Games as such don't relay on multiplayer, because its a pure single player spetrum. They are made to have a varied experience base on playing it sololy. Don't tell me it gives them much more replay against a great single player experience, I am willing to replay such game more than once in a lifetime.

Referring to you caling me blind, several people of various systems could agree with me, I just named Bioshock, a non-Wii game as such title.
