I find it quite ironic that the Wii's graphics are the target for ridicule when the PS3 is selling nowhere near what the Wii is. If graphics are so important, how does a logical person explain this?

It is simple, the majority has spoken with their wallets. Gameplay trumps graphics. I have ow concluded that the PS3 will not win the "console war". However, the Wii possibly can. The 360? When most games available on the PS3 are available on the cheaper console, it is only logical to conclude that the 360 wins.

The PS2 destroyed the competition. The PS3 will not.

ha sheep. a superb game requires Graphics and Gameplay. look at the gamespot rating system.

unless your into fighting and nba street there is not one genre you can get on ps3/x360 that can't be had on pc and looking through all the recent games there is no one good console exclusive except maybe geow, resistance, dead rising that can't be had on pc, all the team sport games are on pc, all ubi's action games, all of ea's except burnout, so really right now console are pretty pointless, yet this will probably change at xmas but right now there is nothing much thats wothy of a pc gamer buying on consoleimprezawrx500

SNES>Wii>NES>Xbox 360>N64>Virtual Boy>PS3

its nice to see developers taking advantge of wi-fi.

Metroid_Time

it'll be better on 360.

Thanks for all that evidence in your baseless assumption. 

Baseless hmm? It's a fact that multiplat games score higher on 360.

Citing unrelated situations to this game will not get you anywhere in life. 
Wii's online will be free that is a fact.
Whether the 360's will be superior is yet to be seen and although it probably will be no one knows for sure yet.

Wii needs more games, plain and simple. Anything multi-plat (Godfather, Spider-Man 3, etc) is far better on one of the Next-Gen consoles. 

TimeToPartyHard

hahaha.  That's almost comical considering the Godfather and Madden are both better on the Wii.

wow 2 games out of.. how many that were multiplat?

Games like Strikers and Big Brain are all well and good, and will probably sell pretty well. It still doesn't change the fact that Wii will have the slowest stream of new releases out of any current system.

And just like GameCube, most of the games worth playing are Nintendo titles.

Don't get me wrong, I've had Wii since launch and have had some good times with it, but the software support is sketchy at best and it takes a back seat to every other platform I play games on, 360, PS2, DS and even PSP.

Wii is selling well now, but so did GameCube in it's first year. I think we'll be hitting the saturation point soon, and the hardware sales will plateau.

Quite simply, software sells consoles. If you're a parent of, or a 12 year old kid, Wii's library will do you just fine.

If you're looking for games with substance, any sort of online that can handle more than 4 players, downloadable content, demos, original downloadable games or something that runs in HD...Wii is simply not a good choice as your main console.

Microsoft should thank Nintendo for essentially forcing me to buy a 360 for my hardcore gaming needs :P

Thing is, sales numbers really don't matter to someone that just wants to play games, and I think you missed the point.

Wii will hit what is known as the "Saturation Point" in economics. The point where everyone that wanted one (Zelda fans) will have it. After that, when people start to realize what they're missing they'll start turning to another console and Wii's numbers will drop off. 

I've bought 2 Wii units myself (One USA, one JPN), and still found the need to get a 360.
