Is Wii music classed as a game?, I would say its an interactive disc and if more games like it come out and eventually take over game like Mario and Animal Crossing (haha), maybe eventually Wii will become its own type of machine. Think of a good name for it.

Well, it's primary function is playing games, so probably not.

The way that they talk about the DS, I wouldn't be surprised. Heck, I currently use my DS to browse the web, take notes, read books, listen to music, watch movies, and navigate Chicago (I have a few maps downloaded to it). I also use it to play JRPG's during my commute (train, not driving). Its kind of a swiss army knife, and I wouldn't mind the Wii becoming that.

Just cause it plays video games doesn't mean that it must be limited to that. And if Nintendo can keep coming up with new functionalities, I'm not going to complain. Its not like there won't be another Mario, Zelda, Starfox, Metroid, and Pikmin before the next console comes out.

It's a console and will always be a console. Just because it's whipping both the PS3 and 360 doesn't mean it's not a console.

Well it's like how the PC plays games. Not every PC is a gaming PC. But the PC is still recognised as a gaming platform. Same thing with the Wii, if there are still proper games being made for it, it's a games console. Regardless of shovelware and nongames.

Not really, the only disappointing thing is that for the first time in Nintendo's history... third party games are looking much better than their first party games.

Wohhh, just because your upset that you have to play Wii music for the rest of the year while gamers play GOW2, Resi 5 and Socom. Your post is just stupid as Wii isnt appealing to the same market as the 360 and PS3 so sales dont matter its like comparing the sales of a watch to trainers.

That's your opinion and opinion =/0 fact.

Besides, good games or not, it will be consider a console.

The Wii sells because it is the best value with the best 1st party games. The other two are great for the 3rd parties which is why I even own a PS3.

I don't think we need to go that far. But I do think that gamers need to start buying more Xbox 360s and PS3s. If you have a friend that is thinking about getting a Wii over a 360/PS3, encourage them away from it. Xbox 360 and PS3 need to get their sales up so that next-gen all three companies aren't making casual shovelware games.

Yes, we encourage parents to spend double the money on consoles with mostly mature games that their children shouldn't play. And since they also play DVDs, why not introduce them to classics such as Total Recall and Spaceballs.

I can put Wii games in it.
I can play old games on it -- NES, SNES, N64, GC, GEN, etc.

This post invalidates all of your opinions. Why? Because you stoop to typical fanboy drivel like talking down to others and making silly assumptions. :|

The way that they talk about the DS, I wouldn't be surprised. Heck, I currently use my DS to browse the web, take notes, read books, listen to music, watch movies, and navigate Chicago (I have a few maps downloaded to it). I also use it to play JRPG's during my commute (train, not driving). Its kind of a swiss army knife, and I wouldn't mind the Wii becoming that.

Just cause it plays video games doesn't mean that it must be limited to that. And if Nintendo can keep coming up with new functionalities, I'm not going to complain. Its not like there won't be another Mario, Zelda, Starfox, Metroid, and Pikmin before the next console comes out.

How can you do that?

Maybe its because I have the old DS. =/

Its called a multi-faceted computer entertainment system.It uses a cell processor and has more features than an S-Class. the wii, on the other hand, is essentially a toy to amuse 2 year-old for the first week until its tucked under their beds. More of an impulse purchase than the other two consoles in my opinion. I really dont consider the wii next gen. its mostly for people who dont know how to send an email IMO. yknow, the granny or toddler crowd.

Maybe the 360 and PS3 aren't gaming consoles either... but media entertainment centers.

The elitism of the so-called "hardcore" Anti-Wii fanboys is getting worse than the hermits :shock:

The idiocy is strong with this thread. Do not underestimate the arrogant side of hardcore gamers.
