Wii haters have a poor long-term memory...

For all the fanboys attributing Wii's success to the price, remember Gamecube was significantly lower than both PS2 and Xbox until the very end of its lifecycle.  Face it, people buy Wii because it's awesome, and has lots of fun games.

funny, i remember when gamecube fanboys liked to praise their system cause it had great graphics

then all of a sudden............you know the rest :lol:

lol, yeah SW is full of hypocrites. Lemmings have always been spoiled with good grphx. Sony fans JUST now get a system on top with graphics.  And Nintendo fanboys finally get an inferior system....

Yet Lemmings always said "We don't need JRPG games", and now with Blue Dragon...

what fun games are there that really use the innovation besides wario ware and wii sports?

i don't hate the wii, it just needs more cool innovative games to impress me.

I own both a GC and a Wii.  I just wanted to say that there is a huge difference between the GC being like $100 cheaper than the competition and my being able to buy the Wii and two games and still be less than the real 360, before taxes and with zero games.

People buy Wii because Nintendo has artifically lowered their standards, enraptured their attention with 20 year old nostalgic franchises, and expanded the market to a user base who expects (and will recieve) little more than a toy capable of providing only the most shallow and base forms of entertainment.

Face it, Nintendo has offered a vastly inferior product this generation, at an absurd price, and has attempted to limit the functionality of gaming at your expense.  Their "next-gen" franchise titles are little more than the mediocre extension of marketing icon driven gameplay.  Good games will become increasingly scarce as Nintendo gains its new audience and begins publishing more content to meet their demands.

There is absolutely unequivically no logical reason for Wii's success.  Gamecube $100 cheaper in its debut compared to PS2 and Xbox...didn't help it one bit!  Great software...didn't help it one bit! N64 had a different controller...didn't help it one bit!  So Wii has WORSE graphics and a different controller, many horrific games, and it sells like hotcakes??  There is no logical reason for Wii's success.  The videogame industry's ebb and flow is apparently completely random.

Wii is a rip-off for the hardware.... and you'd have to be stupid to think it's just selling because of the price. It's comparatively cheaper and has a new controller innovative controller that people want.Lazy_Boy88

And people didn't want analog when N64 debuted?  Apparently not...didn't help Nintendo one bit to release an analog conrtroller and the very 1st true 3D console game alongside it.  Better graphics and cheaper too the N64 was.  Didn't help at all against PlayStation.  Like I said, Wii's success this gen MAKES NO SENSE!

Sadly, that's how the world of business works. That is what the PS2 did and look at its success.

According to you though, at least for us sheep we can still enjoy our little gamestation a little longer without worrying about the reprecussions for a while.

Nintendo is Nintendo and will usually try to do something different, even if it is taking a step back to take a different road.

Don't be so pessemistic about it, if anything this is good for Sony and Microsoft for its giving them a swift boot in the rear to start pulling out all the stops.

Not too many good games execpt for Mario.jjj13

You fail, WW is AAA
