Why I hate the Wii

First off, I own all three gaming systems, so I know I am going to gain some bad comments when I flame the wii, every console has their fan boys, and while I love my PS3 im more of a Microsoft fan. However, when it comes to comparing the three, I find that I enjoy the PS3 much much more, but the 360 has better games. However, even the PS3 's launch library looks amazing in comparison to the Wii's. The Wii, at most has five good games, and arguably the best one comes free WITH THE CONSOLE. Last time I wanted the best game with the console, I was buying those 5 dollar tiger games. The only good games are super smash bros, wii play, wii sports, resident evil and super Mario galaxy. I mean c'mon, when a crappy resident evil rail shooter is one of the games holding your game sales together, that's pretty bad.

My big problem with the wii is that they basically lie to you. When buying a wii, all you hear about is it's a "next gen system." The only thing is, you're getting a N64 with a motion controller. The graphics compared to the ps360 are from two generations ago. I realize that the motion control is a great feature, but that's when it works well. Half of the games that iv played are either broken controls or just too touchy. Madden 08 looks and plays like crap, and that's a shame considering if EA had spent half the money developing the Wii version as they did marketing it, the wii would have had a gem on its hands.

Overall, the wii just pales in comparison to the ps3 and the 360, and it's a shame considering how good the wii had seemed when people were standing in line for hours because Nintendo got greedy and limited supply to increase the demand superficially for their inferior product.
