[QUOTE="JabbaDaHutt30"]Anyone that is even remotely informed about the gaming console industry wouldn't want a Nintendo's junk because:
-It is overpriced for the technology it offers.
-There are lots of bad casual games on it.
-All the notable Nintendo characters have been done to death. Nintendo is out of ideas.
-The Wii remote is a gimmick; a normal controller would work just as good.
-Primitive graphics. Kameo probably looks better than anything Nintendork currently has.
-Granted, the Wii has good games, but there's not a single game that ever tries to offer something more complex than Mario Galaxy. No interesting video game stories - just ol' Mario trying to save the Princess again, and I guess Link does pretty much the same thing, right? :lol:

1. I would argue that every piece of hardwar and every game is overpriced, so it's up to choice to decide what overpriced system to buy.
2. Every system has bad casual games, but each system also has great games to offer.
3. Each system has franchises that have been around for a long time i.e. MGS or Halo. Franchises that have long histories have a lot of commercial appeal both for gameplay and nostalgia, so why not keep releasing games from theose franchises?
4. Motional control is not a gimmick. It is an attempt to add another layer to gameplay, that sadly hasn't been used to it's full potential, yet.
5. Less graphical capability than XBOX360 and PS3 I'll admit, but not primitive. Not every game on the Wii looks like Pong. Artistic design are just as important as graphics; even the best game graphically may not be pleasant to the eyes, and that also says nothing about gameplay.
6. Not all games have a story to begin with, let alone a good story, but with new RPGs coming out, perhaps the Wii will get some more complex storytelling. Games like de Blob, No More Heroes and Zak and Wiki aren't different than the old Nintendo standbys in gameplay and design, so the Wii is not all about Mario and Zelda.
But Nintendo has more bad casual games, Mario games releases and less complex, engaging, mature storylines (none, come to think of it).
