nope i wanted to hear things like that...it doesnt matter for him, if his opinion didnt change, then that must mean that he DID know everything on the speech that i wrote already...right? sarcastic*; this is very doubtful, i still think hes being ignorant if he doesnt think anything different about the Wii from what i wrote...doesnt mean he has to like the system or want it, but he obviously wasnt eager to learn lol)

3. Online gaming does not look to promising
4. IN GENERAL, Games may be too kiddy
5. Picture quality may suffer on large hd screens.

THats all i can think of right now, please remember im not bashing the wii.



Not sure if this has been siad, I don't have time to rad through all of the posts right now because class is over in like 2 mins, but just a question.. You call Scarface and Grand Theft Auto kiddy?

you spotted something very good! these are EXACTLY the people im talking about, who readily choose to be ignorant and do not value the truth...their assumptions are too much of assumptions--not proper research is being done to label the Wii like that. well, now he really nows the truth about the Wii after you explained it, yet his ignorant side still doesnt want to admit it...he is too controlled by the "all-mighty PS3 and X-BOX 360" and by his own stereotypical opinion on the Wii, which is obviously not based on fact or the truth, since he STILL doesnt believe what hes hearing

remember, when you assume...you make an ass out of you...and me

i believe in this same thing you wrote up there. but u didnt grasp the main idea!

i am NOT trying to persuade anyone on buying the Wii or making it their favorite console either, i am NOT a Wii salesperson and therefore can care less if people buy it or not...but my point is to help people make their decisions based on FACT and the TRUTH, not on their stereotypical/ignorant views (which i stated in my speech)...my goal isnt to make people buy the Wii, it is to tell them the truth andl et them decide based on the truth, not the stereotypical, wrong views.

This year, thousands upon thousands of people will not buy the Wii due to stereotypical (and therefore ignorant) views on it...is this decision made with real information backing it up or not? these people are not buying the Wii because they think its gonna be another gamecube, have bad graphics, kiddie games etc. (look in my speech to see the rest)...but these things are not true; the people are literally brainwashed by their own stereotypical views do you get waht im trying to say here? making a decision based on false justifications is wrong altogether, rather make right decisions on something thats true, right?

well, if everyone knew the truth about the Wii from the start, then the Wii would DEFINATELY have a high chance of being number one...unfortunately, most of the people believe in the stereotypical ways of the Wii...if they knew the truth, their decision on getting the Wii or not would be a good decision since its based on fact

(sorry if this is all getting a bit repetitive, im trying to use lots of emphasis lol; plus, it seems that things need to repeated just to keep the idea in your mind flowing)

Well, I am no fanboy of any system, I think all of them have their pros and cons. My only problem with the Wii is the specs. I realize that the specs aren't important when it comes to the Wii, but my case is that I feel that I am paying $320 (Canadian) for an idea. To explain this a little further, the specs on the Wii, if I am not mistaken look roughly like this..

CPU: Approx 700mhz (Single Core)
Video: Slighty better or comparable to Xbox.

How much does a 700mhz CPU cost now a days? A 2.8 Ghz CPU is like $50! I realize that there is alot more to the Wii than just the CPU and Video, but I just feel kind of ripped in a technological sense. This isn't stopping me from buying a Wii, as I am buying both the PS3 and the Wii, but I just feel like I am paying for the idea of motion sensing. I encourage any comments anyone has regarding this. (Good or Bad)

well majinwar if you didnt read the "101 frequently asked questions about the Wii" on this site, then you really should...it will disprove what you said for the most part and teach you A LOT about the Wii...go to "search" then type in "101 freqently asked questions" and it should pop up, brought by i0n himself

See, I believe that you are misunderstanding what I am trying to say. I am not bashing the Wii in any way. I will be buying one myself. I just feel that the price could have been even lower than what it is at. Only reason I say this is because the system itself to manufacture is dirt cheap. I just feel like I am paying for their revolutionary idea. That's all.

there is a misunderstanding in what u say as well, as this is not what i was implying

to make a long story short and to answer your previous addition directly, Nintendo developers know that $250 will sell their system, in comparison to the other major consoles (PS3, Xbox360)...$250.00 is cheap for a third generation stystem anyways, whether they made it cheaply or not...even so, you are too quick to assume that the Wii is made cheaply; it has many features of its own and is actually more complex than you think. plus, are you counting all the work that was put into it? its not just made up of a couple of pieces that costs very little

alls im really saying is that what u r saying is too much of an assumption and even if it is true, $250 for a third generation console (starting from N64) is still cheap
