Wii haters unite!

I have to confess, I'm not a Wii hater, or a hater of any system. I love gaming! This being said, the Wii has won the console war this time around - there is no question.

The fact is the Wii has outsold the PS3 by a margin of two to one, and would have probably done the same to the 360 if the brilliant marketers at MS had not seen this coming (early release strategy). Check out www.vgchartz.com/

Here is my question. What is your gripe against the Wii being the winner of the console wars? They've clearly won, can you deal with it?

Reaction...

And after you unite...

...please leave!

I don't understand the hate either.

It's not like Nintendo is hurting people, so why put on the fanboy panties and be all "TEH 360 AND PS3 ARE TEH REAL CONSOLEZZ"

Besides, to get the best out of gaming this generation, people need to buy all three consoles.

If it only had games half as good as those the Ps3 already has and will get oh well, applause to the fast salesAgentA-Mi6

Riiight.

I think you mean "half the games of the 360".

Because I'll admit the 360 has more games, but certainly not the PS3.

Before MSG4, you were being attacked because you had nothing.

Now with MSG4 you rule the industry?

My bank accounts weep at this truth.

I have one but don't play it as the games are boring. It only sells like it does is because it for one was really cheap compared to the other 2 and Nintendo did a really good job attrcting all the casual gamers to it. Also i find it as more of a secondary console as everyone i know has it and another gaming console. But all that bing said Nintendo still did a good job.

Won in sales maybe, but they are still fighting to get the same 3rd party support seen on every other system, and are certainly lacking in hardware, and an online system.

But people still buy the Wii, two to one. The party is about to be over at third "party" outfits that do not support the Wii. There is too much money to loose.

thrid party support is still profiting most on the 360 were some where around 60% of all software sales are not 21 games, like the Wii currently is.

edit: Also many of the thrid party companies have already invested in designing expensive engines for consoles like the PS3/360 and dont want them to go to waste.

That's where you failed..

Between retail games, virtual console games, and WiiWare games, the Wii has a lot more to offer than the PS3.

If you think otherwise, you're just kidding yourself, or you really hate Nintendo.

Wii versus 360 = some argument, but Wii still wins.

Wii versus PS2 = Joke, PS3 is almost a total failure in comparison

-hells-

Nope. I love Sony. Last gen I bought a PS2, and completely ignored the Gamecube.

As for not caring about old games, thats one of the reasons we don't think alike. I love buying classics off of the VC, and it's one of the reasons I bought the console.

I think the main games arguement between the consoles is that most Wii owners consider VC games just as valuable as retail games. I look at some PS3 games, and some developers just pop out shiny graphics, and don't focus too much on the gameplay. Same can be said for the 360.

As for online, you get what you pay for. It's $250, and people were fooling themselves if they thought they'd get XBL capabilities.

As for Blu-Ray, mehh. It's nice to have, but I wouldn't buy the PS3 just because of it.

Overall, the games arguement is all about opinions. I find more games on the Wii than I could on the PS3. With that said, I've already stated that all three consoles are necessary to get the most out of gaming. Eventually I plan on buying a PS3, but I'll probably keep it to the big name games, COD4, MSG4, etc. Whereas on the Wii, I find myself buying a lot of relatively cheap off-the-wall games.

Ehhhh, I don't take Gamrankings too seriously. A few of those are multiplat, and almost all of the Wii's are exclusives.

Besides, they don't include VC games, which, like I already explained, is why some people buy the console.

On another note, at $50 or $60 a game, most people can't afford all the great games on their consoles anyway.

Its the same way for almost all credible review sites the Wii is severly lacking in quality titles compared to any other current gen system.

They dont include ps1/ps2 games either, or original xbox games, all available due to backwards compatibility.

Wii games release at $50 and alot of the older games on the PS3/360 are premium hits (or lowered prices) by now.

Seriously? let's be honest here, if we go by scores, the PS3 library destroys the Wii library, unless you want to go "only exclusives count" which is a really dumb argument.

qewrewq

But only exclusives count....

If we're comparing the number of games on different consoles, we can't include games that are on multiple consoles.

Number's aside, more people (non-fanboys) would find more games on the Wii, than the PS3.

If we're talking about exclusives, Nintendo has a lot more to offer than Sony, but exclusives aren't a big deal to you.

All in all, I've already said people need all three consoles. So argue with someone else.

I'm not a wii hater, but, I don't appreciate it as much as other people do, which might seem as if I am a hater.

To me, it seems like the Wii is just a step above the handheld, but a step below a stationary console.

I agree, that the games are fun to play at first, but they lose their charm really fast.

I agree that Mario games are cool, but they need more variety. Super Mario Galaxy was heading in the right direction to something new, but it needed more imagination and originality.

Mario Kart Wii was cool, but I only play online now, the races were too easy to beat.

Nintendo knows what they are doing, and they are doing it well according to their sales, because I have yet to see a Wii on any shelves at any stores.

Nintendo had a good idea with the Wii, but they should have made it appeal to more than just the casual gamer. Its a nice break from really intense games though. =)

Okay, let me clear the air.

When I said the Wii had more games than the PS3, I was talking about exclusives.

People buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games, not the same can be said for Sony, or Microsoft for that matter.

Right...people need all 3 consoles, but can people afford or have time to play all 3 consoles? when you buy a console you don't just look at the exclusives it has, you also take a good look at the whole library to decide if it has enough good games for you to buy it. and nintendo fans obviously find more games on the Wii that fit their tastes, but people who aren't into nintendo's first party titles wouldn't find as many good third party games on the Wii compared to the PS3 or the 360.

Some PS3 models have full backwards compatibility with ps2 games, and PS1 games giving it a much larger edge than VC games and GC games due to ps2 and ps1 both having the largest libraries of their times. But no one counts these games because they are not current gen games and they are not Wii or PS3 games.

Right...people need all 3 consoles, but can people afford or have time to play all 3 consoles? when you buy a console you don't just look at the exclusives it has, you also take a good look at the whole library to decide if it has enough good games for you to buy it. and nintendo fans obviously find more games on the Wii that fit their tastes, but people who aren't into nintendo's first party titles wouldn't find as many good third party games on the Wii compared to the PS3 or the 360.

qewrewq

That is correct. Like I've said, most of it relies on people's opinions. If a person doesn't like Nintendo games, then they shouldn't buy a Wii.

As for having all three consoles, I don't have time nor the money. But I imagine some people do.

As for exclusives....

They have to be the determining factor in buying a console.

You can't make up your mind if you're judging by games that are also on the 360.

People have to choose, Sony or Microsoft. If you like Mario, choose Nintendo.

lol at using VC games

Anyways, since you count all those games from different eras and consoles to buff up the Wii's library, we can do the same with the PS3. And since the PS3 is fully compatible with PS1 games well you lose honestly.

Just with the PS1 library you have more choice and quality than all you listed for the Wii.DireToad

Uhhh, I didn't use the Gamecube and PS1/PS2, someone else started that.

So why are you quoting me?

Anywho, like I've already stated, Nintendo exclusives > PS3 exclusives.

And exclusives are the deciding factor when it comes to choosing a console.

[QUOTE="x_SuperMario_x"]And exclusives are the deciding factor when it comes to choosing a console.DireToad

No, there's plenty of other reasons why people bought a Wii.

Innovation, peripheals, hype, etc.

Let me elaborate.

Exclusives are the deciding factor when choosing between a 360 and a PS3.

Multiplats don't make a difference because they're about the same graphically on both consoles.

As for the Wii, it's simple, you like Nintendo games, you buy a Wii.

I didn't start using the backwards compatibility arguement, someone else did, so your post automatically fails.

I never said it was your argument, the fact is, you began using it. All I did was point out that that argument cant be used.

I only used GC games after he brought them up.

I've been using VC games which are completely separate from backwards compatibility.
