The Wii, from what i've seen looks like the greatest choice for a console. Ninetnedo from the DS and Wii, seem to be the most inventive, finding new ways to play games. Would you agree, or would you still say that a PS3 and an xbox 360 are still better. I know that a PC would be the absolute top gaming machiene but I have no money to afford that.

Christmas is coming, please, biased or not, put your opinions down so I can find the right console to buy. Perhaps consider, the hardware and game lineups for the console. Thankyou, it's just that im a newb when it comes to the sixth generation consoles.

If you think that PC is the ultimate gaming machine then wouldnt you prefer the other consoles? They are the most like PCs.

I do enjoy the wii though

The wii is an amazing console with the best lineup of 07 IMO, there are unique first and second party exclusives and some third party gems like Zack & Wiki, Rygar, and Resident Evil, so buy it :)

Well depends what you want it for. Like 360 has the best online, PS3 has best movies (blueray), and the Wii has inavative controles.

The best SNES games are available on the Wii, for a fraction the price they originally cost. So your statement makes no sense.

I think Wii is simply a ''different'' console for most people. It's nothing like PS3 or 360.

Personaly, i m not a huge fan of the Wii, it s a mediocre system that s good for playing short bursts, like at a friend's house or something. But as a personal system... not gonna happen unless i have a PS3/360 to accompany it.

The Wii is seriously far from the best. I can't see how a console with last-gen standards and games with low production value can be the best.

Personal opinion.

I dont consider it for "short bursts" The first time i payed Twilight Princess was for 6 straight hours, MP3 for 4 straight hours and recently i've been playing a lot of Trauma Center.

Someone in this world has to turn around and say that they love the Wii more than anything else. Right now, MP3 has kept me away from my 360. The Wii has it's games, that's a fact. It turns to opinion when someone says those games suck.

The Best? Hmm. Its all a matter of opinion. I think it depends on the games you were brought up on and thus appeal to you. ie I wasnt raised on Mario, Metroid and Zelda so they have no real interest for me.(Although they are still awesome!) So the Wii doesnt fit my plate.

However I have a quesiton for Nintendo Fans. Whats your opinion on if the Wii didnt have an inovative controller? But rather a continuation of a GC one? Would it be so popular?

Probably not. This is something totally new Nintendo did, and just like the DS, it's paying off BIG.

Ok, that's right, but tell me something. You obviously think the Wii is, let's say, medicore. Are you willing to pass that as fact? Or your opinion?

You came in here reponding to my post with "it's your opinion" and I said it was also your opinion to disagree with me. Did I say something wrong?

I'll tell you what's fact -- the Wii has games with low production value and last-gen standards.

Personal opinion.

I dont consider it for "short bursts" The first time i payed Twilight Princess was for 6 straight hours, MP3 for 4 straight hours and recently i've been playing a lot of Trauma Center.

With Zelda i can see going for long periods of time, and ya, I guess it all does boil down to opinion, but I put Zelda down after 30 min (first try) and if you know me, I m a hardcore zelda fan it s just... TP was a little too different for me to love it like a zelda. That s not saying I won t still play the game when I can...
