Don't forget what really matters!

The Wii has been out since November of '06... about a year and a half... and we're still hearing arguments about it's poor graphics making it a subpar "next-gen" console. I can't help but feel, that in this age of technology, a lot of us have forgotten what REALLY matters when it comes down to a console war. Think back to the good 'ol days of Sega VS Nintendo... their consoles were basically clones as far as hardware was concerned... so the deciding factor in success was? GAMES. Games make or break a console and everything about it, from it's ability to bring life to an otherwise dead get together with friends, to it's longevity... will you still play your console 10+ years from now? Personally, I have made lists of all the games I give a hoot about on each of the big 3 consoles, and Nintendo is leaps and bounds ahead of Sony and Microsoft. The Wii has fun games, and when perfectly spaced out games with indepth storylines. Thanks to No More Heroes you can even get your fill on the bloody adult humor front... I can't even keep up financially with the rate at which awesome games are being released for the Wii. Just bought Mario Kart Wii, and now WiiFit (which at first I had NO interest in, but all the reviews are pretty awesome for it, so now I'm getting interested), and before WiiFit there is Boomblox and then who knows for sure what is in store for us come the 2008 holiday season. I still haven't even gotten to buy No More Heroes or Okami, and just recently started playing through Zack & Wiki and I am fired up about playing catch up on awesome games for the Wii for years to come. Not to mention that it's practically been confirmed that there is another Zelda in the works for the Wii. Do the PS360 fanboys have so much to look forward to? or to go back and replay? They keep saying that the Wii will die soon, or that no one plays it for longer than an hour before getting tired of it... but personally, I couldn't find this any further from the truth. Does anyone else out there think that the only console that stands a chance at outliving the Wii is the PS3 because of it's ability to double as a blu-ray DVD player? I'm the type of guy that still occasionally goes back and plays a good Dreamcast game... and I can definitely see myself enjoying the Wii and it's incredibly fast growing library of games for the next decade or more. ps. please don't flame for typos and crap, these are leisurely blogs that I don't take the time to proof read after typing.
