What?AvidGamer is defending the Wii? Say it ain't so!:roll:

I blame the DEVS mostly for problematic games on Wii, not the Wii itself. Now that that is outta the way, I have to say...WII DOES NOT IN ANYWAY, SHAPE, OR FORM HURT GAMING! When you look at DS lite, most people don't think..."hmmm...this handheld hurts gaming." If you are going to say that Wii hurts gaming, then you have to say that all Nintendo handhelds have hurt gaming as well. What are you smoking Avid?Think about it. People who claim Wii hurts gaming are making those claims based on the inferior graphics and physics argument. They say Wii is a "step backwards" in gaming. Guess what? Every single Nintendo handheld has had worse graphics than their competitors. Do you think for a second that DS lite or Gameboy Advance is "hurting gaming"? Heck no! So why is there a double-standard with Wii?

Dude there's been about 8000 threads featuring the words "Wii", "gaming", and "hurt".

Don't take it personally, I just think a lot of people (myself included) are a little burned out on the topic.

Anyone who believes Wii is hurting gaming, or that Nintendo is abandoning the hardcore audience, is wrong.

No, not "bu bu teh opinions", wrong. Not right. The opposite of "correct". The antagonist of infallibility. WRONG.

hey, if ppl want to play $250 for a console and $50 or less for games.....more power to them. I will never put down ppl for buying the second best or something thats cheaper. Some ppl can only afford so much. Not everyone can afford HDtv's. I think nintendo did good in a way for doing a low budget console. You get what you pay for....

I'm curious, how exactly is the wii hurting gaming? If anything it's helping gaming by distracting all the kiddies and casuals so I can play my M rated games in peace.:D

Last time I checked, the Wii's success isn't ganna make me play GTA4 without the blood and violence, or is forcing anyone to adopt new control schemes.

Exactly. I just with this whole "Wii is(n't) hurting gaming" topic would curl up and die and the entirety of SW would just move along.

The Wii was the one that promoted casual play that in turn caused more casuals to buy it and prompted developers to make games for the most common denominator. If you want to get to the root of all evil.......................

the wii doesnt hurt gaming.

shortminded greedy developers do.

the reason that the wii has "alot" of 3rd party publishers looking to make wii-centric games is becasue...to be precise...its cheaper.

for isntance, the average dev thinks, hmm i can just spend less capitol building gmames based on gamecube architecture.....put a very simple interface on a series of mingames, wrap them up and give them a name and crankem out until the sheep run out o cash.

this is why the wii is the system for wii mini games and sodoku 12....and o yah wiifit....hasnt that been done like 3 times allready?

That's the stupidest thing I've EVER heard.

8,000 threads? Come on that is just ridiculous.

Unless you've had your head completly up your butt you'd know it was more like around 14,000 threads. ;)
