Wii will come on top in sales but I think it ****

I think it seem obvious that the Wii will sell the most consoles between it, the 360, and PS3. I predicted that it would sell the most when I knew the definite prices of the 3 consoles.

Most people who buy gaming systems are fairly ignorant when it comes to games. They are going to see a 250 price tag, and from that they might decide soon after that a funky new controller is cool and that they are going to buy a Wii so they can play the yearly Madden game EA has to offer.

I've been thinking the Wii would sell well from the beginning, but I've also thought the Wiimote was bad from the beginning.

Being "innovative" is nice, but the Wiimote sucks the same way the DS does. I've been disappointed with my DS (un-asked-for present) for a few years now for the simple reason that the touchscreen is almost never used usefully and having two screens is almost never an advantage (and because Pokemon Diamond isn't as fun as Pokemon used to be).

The best Wii game so far is arguably Zelda. It doesn't use the Wiimote to an advantage at all. It's not "innovative" to use the Wiimote when you are playing a game that clearly controls better with a conventional controller. I think there's no question about this.

A game like Zelda will control better with gamepad than Wiimote. A platformer will control better with a controller. A technical racing game will never be as fluid using the Wiimote as a controller or wheel. Shooting games on the Wii so far suck, and I think that's the way it's going to continue to be (other than Metroid which might be another OK lock-on shooter).

I think it's a big punch in the face to the Wii and its Wiimote that many peoples' most loved Nintendo exclusive, Super Smash Bros, won't be using the Wiimote (I am so glad of this).

There's also the fact that the Wii's graphics are wayyy behind, and the system is pretty expensive in hardware/price ratio.

I dont think Wii will win. I think it will be close, but wont win. I think by the end of this war the big three will be so close (relativly) in sales that it wont matter who won anyways.

So basically all sheep care about is sales and are blind to the mediocre graphics the Wii is pumping out.afdevil24

Zelda controls better on the Wii. Faster spin attack and MUCH better aiming with the bow, boomerang, etc. Super Mario Galaxy will prove how much better platformers are on the Wii (since the main control for a platformer is the analog stick anyway). We'll see about racing games.magus-21

Actually, they don't so much warm them as make them flap a little faster.  But you get the picture.

It's not so much inanity as it is displacement activity, I think. 

It's obvious you've never even touched Zelda for the Wii. Don't make assumptions if you're not going to try out the game first. I think Zelda for Wii controls better than conventional controllers.Zhengi

You relized that this game wasn't designed for Wii and Nintendo has stated that they purposely didn't use it to it's full potential so the game could be the same game that it is on Gamecube?
