for example

SSBBrawl on wii, no bugs, no patches needed, 100% full game

SSBBrawl on 360, buggy, lots of patches needed, half the fighters are DLC

Metroid prime trilogy on Wii, 3 games 1 disc

Metroid prime trilogy on 360, sell them separate and claim they are HD remakes (even tho 360 isnt TrueHD)

Legend of zelda OOT: 10 bucks for the best game ever

Xbox 360, 15 bucks for 3 new maps

see my point?

Tons of great games that need patches, dlc etc > few great games that don't.

I like mah Wii, a lot, but your argument was weak.

It's more or less a given that we're all going to buy a Wii when Zelda comes out. Otherwise, Metroid Prime is great but I need more reasons than that to buy an overpriced Gamecube.

As for Trash Bros... LOL

Your reasons make no sense. Metroid or brawl aren't on 360 so can't say what they would be like. Metroid Trilogy on 1 disc is dominated by Orange Box on 1 disc, IMO. I don't really mind getting patches to fix bugs, I have a few games that I would love to get patched for Wii, it's not like every Wii game is bug free. Wii is a good console, but I would definately place it last out of all the systems I own.

It's all in your perspective. The more retro gamer will lean towards the Wii due to it's low prices and a library full of classic titles (like OoT) and remakes of the games they played as kids. But this generation won't care about paying a lot of money for games, and like the more realistic graphics. I know I like my Wii.

By far as in this generation?

If so I disagree with it being the best this generation, but I agree it's the cheapest.

Best console this gen because of one game: Super Mario Galaxy. PS2 won last gen because its cheap, Wii will do the same here.

My only complaint is that you need another console to go along with a Wii because there are some high quality multiplats this gen, and the Wii misses out on all of them.

As far as exclusives it is definitely a good system. I wouldn't put it ahead of the Xbox, DS, or PC though.

Sure. I think the 360 and PS3 are incredibly stupid FPS consoles that deserve to die painfully. My opinion matters too.

Okay, I'm pro-Wii and all, but I don't think you should be using Brawl to help the Wii in a Wii/360 comparison. Brawl does have a pretty weak online. I haven't played much of it (just a few "With Anyone" matches). but I certainly saw the lag.

On another note, I see that you have no mention of the PS3 in a post about how the Wii is the best console by far. Why?

legend of zelda oot? more like n64 the best ever, and super smash brawl isn't perfectly balanced so your agument is flawed there, metroid prime trilogy is an example of a good game (well 3) but in comparison to the best 360 games and ps3 it doesn't hold a shine

Out of the three consoles, the Wii has the least, highly reviewed games (including many, MANY third-party titles). That and it isn't the cheapest... you can still buy 360 Arcades for well under $150 and pick up a 8-16GB USB stick for $30-40. The Wii should have started out at $199 USD like all previous Nintendo consoles, and cost $99 by now. It isn't worth more than that, especially when compared to what the other consoles offer. But then again, Nintendo knew it was going to print money like the DS, so why not charge way more than its worth?

Not for me. I think it's the worst of the big three by a considerable margin, but that's because my taste in games doesn't align with what the Wii has on offer.

Smallest library, underpowered, gimmicky controls that rarely work well, and third party support which is nonexistant.

Yeah. Great console.

If I had a 360, PS3, and Wii, I would play the Wii more. It has more fun games than the mature doom and gloom FPS/TPS/RPG same old games of the other two. I would play games like GT5, LittleBigPlanet, Flower, Braid, Viva Pinata, SSF IV, and Bayonetta but I would still play games like Tiger Woods, Boom Blox, Monster Hunter 3, Brawl, Muramasa, BlastWorks, TvC, Excitebots, and Mario Galaxy more because they are just more fun. Wii is the funnest console right now and isnt that what video games are all about.

sound dillusional to me, I might've said the same thing last generation, but now it's embarassing how you can't get a lag free game in super smash brawl when I get a lag free chat going in seconds on xbl, once you play xbl or psn you'll understand how much better gaming can become for multiplayer games. Galaxy was good but was not anywhere near the best platformer this gen

Uh your point is essentially the Wii is a reliable system and not all glitchy and buggy? If thats it I get a virtual cookie. Hurrah. Now I like the Wii the most. And even going past tastes I think its' the best console. I notice basic games that could work on the Wii graphically are not being released on the system. And yes Halo invented FPS.

TC seems trollish, but the Wii is my favourite console of this gen. Not only does it have some of the best installments yet of my favourite franchises, it also is the home of tons of great niche games that you wouldn't think of playing at first, but not regret once you did. It pains me to see how much hate it gets from the fanboys, if only because bashing a console because it is just not for you is pointless. It's like the 'kiddy' argument from the previous generations all over again, only this time it's a bunch of kids who only care about graphics, claiming to be too 'hardcore' for the Wii, completely oblivious to the fact that they only like mainstream blockbusters that get 9.5+ grades on Gamespot.

It's so boring.

Just to make it clear: I'm not bashing any console because that is inherently silly. To each his own, people just need to stop whining so much.

Oh great, another one of these threads, "the Wii is the best because it is!" PS3 only does everything. It is Ratchet series, Uncharted, MotorStorm, Best free online, bluray, and endless more. . .

poll says everything :P Wii is just good selling because it targets other groups than the other systems do, but I still prefer the PS3/X360 over the Wii. Actually my Wii is usually just ccollecting dust, I really hope Monster Hunter will change that, just got this big version with controller, Wii Speak and this statue
