[QUOTE="TheMysticHorse"]If you want to use metacritic scores go to the metacritic forums. Sorry kids, this is Gamespot.ogvampire

we do it just like the cows and lemmings do it.

cows complain about ps3 games getting rated low and point to other websites

lemmings complain about mass effect rated low and point to other websites

The only source that matters is Gamespot, kid. If any faction runs to another site it is simply damage control because they have been destroyed like you have.

Next.

:cry:

Like I said kid, if you don't want to use Gamespot scores don't come to the Gamespot System Wars. Fact is Wii is absolute garbage and isn't even 1/100th of the system PS2 was.

[QUOTE="ng1234"][QUOTE="Tuvola"]

ng1234... you might wanna stop at some point... you really are embarassing yourself

i'm sorry I clearly don't have as much experience as you, but lets go with what I do know. What I know is that the wii is a games console, a console that gamers in general find laughable, unless you were suckered in to buying one by the hype, a lot of gamers with wiis say it was a mistake, but then you get people like yourself... that just try and try and try to force this idea of nintendo being good into reality through arguing about it with people... but if you fail to notice what lack of impression or effect any of your arguments are making on other posters... then surely someone has to point it out to you. I really don't have the energy to go through all your arguments and slice them like the butter they're made from

there is no argument for wii other than it has sold a lot... and if you actually bought one, and you're a serious gamer, then you're really missing out on the real gaming that is out there right now... not that there's too much of it anywhere really... but if one of the three consoles is so far at the bottom end of abysmal in terms of its value to a gamer then its clearly the wii... because even publications that have to maintain an air of neutrality are bashing the wii and its future lineup...

even if the ps3 and the 360 have precious little good on them right now... they're still miles ahead of wii... and at least they have games coming out that will be respected and are at the modern forefront of gaming. Monster lab? A game possible on the pc years ago... king story is another game that we've seen incarnations of before (with shockingly poor graphics)... I mean all these games have much less funding going into them do you know why? Cos its last gen hardware and they market their games at children. Everything is just a last gen experience, and you payed a premium for it... shame on you to try and convince others to follow you down the hole of crappy gaming.

0rbs

So if you claim that the Wii is inferior to the other systems, then explain me how Nintendo dominates in sales. Because last time I checked when a product sells good it means it has a wide appeal to the consumers.

Britney Spears CDs sell more than most clasical symphony's. Are you saying by your own logic britney spears is the most talented artist to ever live?

when was the last time that ANY classical symphony outsold any contemporary artist? seriously, what a silly question. try again

The Wii is the best seller but there is no way I think it is the PS2 of this generation. Over half the games are mini games and you have also got to remember Zelda Twilight Princess was ported onto the Wii it was only gonna be on the Gamecube. What is left after Super Smash Bros Brawl,Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit that is worth getting a console for nothing much. I am a Wii owner as well but there needs to start being some good games out recently though some are starting to be good but not system sellers.

kaangonultas

i believe you. but can you make it easier for us and list them?

Edit: i just checked metacritic and it is you who is wrong

the ps2 launched in March of 2000. Here is a list of AAA games that the ps2 had within its first year:

SSX

Rayman 2

thats it! GTA, DMC, madden... all of those came out MORE than a year later

Wii has 4 AAA games within its first year.

Comparing the Wii to the PS2 is really rather harsh.

What did the PS2 ever do to you to make you ridicule it so?

check again, genius. ps2 launched in march of 2000. therefore its first full year would have ended in March of 2001. most of those games you mentioned did come out in 2001, but not before march. thats why i didnt list ssbb in the list for the wii, cause it will come out in a little over a year.

so what were you saying again?

It released in America in October 2000. :| Therefore you'd logically count from then. We live in America kiddo, not Japan. You don't start counting games from a time when the system wasn't even released in our region.

The PS2 is still selling consoles and games so I think the PS2 is the PS2 of this generation. Wait but that would mean the Wii is second in sales :o

Man , even so, what are the new great AAA franchises Wii got? Because if im starting to list PS2's ones will take me 10 days. And im not talking only for first party ones. But thirds also. What you got except mario mario mario zelda mario? Nothing!!! A past-gen port R4 and an old game as MB3 for AAA exclusive? Laughable...

Its dominating sales wise over every other console. It has the most exclusive titles. More innovative then any other console.

As for bad online service. Xbox had superior online service compared to the PS2. And look how that turned out.

I think we will slowly start seeing more support from developers this year.

Wii-Fit and Super Mash Bros Brawl will move more systems then any other software combined.

PS3 and 360 are just battling for the 2nd place. Kinda sad :lol:

Nintendo the king is back again!

Every time I see pokemon all I think about is that South Park episode when the kids get addicted to it..

Witch kinda says it all abot what I think about the Wii.

so if i lived in Japan, it would be true?

i didnt know we were getting region specific

if they would have done a worldwide launch it would be the same story, so i dont know how this stipulation about what region its in has to do with anything.

You are completely clutching for straws now. This is a mostly american populated board and it is an american site too. We go by American dates, not Japanese ones.

This has got to be the worst damage control I've ever seen. You are expecting people to include 7 months where the system wasn't even available in America as a part of the system's first year? I'm sorry, but when you judge a system's first year you do it from the date it was available in your own country. :| I thought this was common sense.

Anyway the wii library will never be as good as the ps2 skaangonultas

now, lets get something straight here. i agree with you in that sense. the ps2 was an amazing console and i didnt say anything bad about it. we were just discussing AAA titles within the first year. the ps2 picked up major steam in its 2nd and 3rd years and came out with some of the most amazing games.

the wii doesnt look like it will be able to mirror that, but what can? im not sure if there will ever be such a successful console (game wise) as the ps2

still counts as first year since we live in america

so if i lived in Japan, it would be true?

i didnt know we were getting region specific

if they would have done a worldwide launch it would be the same story, so i dont know how this stipulation about what region its in has to do with anything.

It does. today is the release date of metroid prime 3 in Japan so it wouldn't count as a first year aaa if we lived there

huh? im lookin at the launch date. whats with all this region stuff?

the wii came out in november of 2006. MP3 launched in august of 2007. looks like within a year to me.

The ps2 was released in october 2000 in America and SSX was released in september 2001 . Seams like a year to me. OH and by the way , this AAA title was never released in Japan

Whats wrong with it?

The thing is that because of your avatar it seems you're a die-hard nintendo fanboy and your comments could be seriously biased.

Coyo7e

true. but in the same sense, any console can be whatever you want to make it.

you can buy a ps3 with singstar, GH3, and rock band. that looks like a family console to me

Reason why the PS2 sold aswell as it did was not due to being a console but more due to the fact it was cheaper than the average DVD player at the time of launch and for around 2 years onwards. The Wii wont sell aswell as the PS2 but i can see it surpassing 60 million mark which Nintendo done so on the Snes quite easiely by a couple of million.

Will wii ever see games like resident evil 5, GTA 4, Metal gear solid 4 or devil may cry 4?? I seriously doubt it. that is why seasoned gamers prefer either the 360 or the ps3. What else the wii has to offer Besides casual games and maybe Zelda, smash bros and super mario galaxi? I can't deny that first party releases are games with a high quality, but I can't say that third party games meet the same quality. The wii has to offer something which appeals the serious gamer who wants to play a deep game, not a casual and mediocre party (which maybe funny at the beginning but this factor decreases soon and becomes dull)game with the same formula repeated on all of them.

True.

GH3 and rock band and the like can be played by family sure.

I am talking about the target demographic for the systems. Ps3 and 360 go for the 20 something 30 something male audience with the majority of their games. I do not think the Wii targets that audience. They throw them a few scraps every now and then, just like the others throw the family a few scraps.

Nintendo is not a gamers developer.

They play fan service to their die hard fans but, the online set up alone tells you what they think about the 20 and 30 something crowd that still plays games.

the wii can't even hope to be the next ps2. the only thing with even a chance in the future will probably be pc if they can get graphic cards and cpus to good low prices so that a mainstream gaming build would cost $400. i could build one for $500, but id rather get the ps3 b/c of the blue ray for my HDTV and the free builtin wireless and online play. from a gamers perspective, the wii sucks. what would be cool is if they had a starwars game where you got to use the wiimote as a lightsaber. but until then, its dead to me. and the guy w/ the pokemon avatar who said pokemon is hardcore is nothing but an insane manic ready to kill someone. either that or a troll who can take his fanboyism elsewhere.

I bash the games on the Wii you think are great.

I think Mario is a total hack and zelda is a vacuous husk of a hero.

They play fan service to you, but nothing about these games is great IMO.

More power to you if you love Nintendo. The Wii has insured they will be making hardware for years to come.

Everybody has a certain taste in games from mini games to shooters. Like me if you don't like the wii don't buy it. The ps3 is my main gaming system But I still play the wii when company comes over. Smash Bros. rules !!!
