-All the wii games look really boring, no next-gen.

sonys lineup looks pritty bad too. But a servy taken by many japanies game makers say they are intrested in the wii more then any other console in terms of makeing games. Nintendo will have the most 3rd part support of any other console becuse the controler is so revolutionary. Who wins the 3rd parties wins the war. This is shown by playstation and playstation 2. The devkit for the ps3 sucks and its alot harder to make games super high rez.

-Controller looks hard to use

if we go through life with god mode turned on, with no true challange overcome, thats a pritty much wasted life/game

-Online gameplay (if any) won't be as good as ps3 and 360's.

online gameing for the wii will be free, it wont be for the xbox360 or ps3. You get what you pay for

-Too many little kid games that don’t suit me. Like mario & Monkey ball.

I dont like these games ether, but wii will get better 3rd part support as i have said above

-RE5 wont be on it

Are you sure about this? gamecube got alot of the re games in the past.

-Can it even play cd's and dvd's?
you dont have a dvd player yet?

-It wont have as much space available for the discs like in ps3, so the games (i imagine) will be shorter with less content

ps3 with blue media, all the space will be used to support all the languages of the games on one disc. You wont be getting more content with blue media. Most games don’t fill up a full dvd anyway. if a game uses all of blue medias space, its inefficient and bloated and may take alot longer to load. Game dzn has gotten bloated anyway. Also becuse wii wont support full out hd, their is alot less texture info that’s needed so a bigger disc isn’t needed to make the same game.

-I'm 16, Nintendo products are good family friendly games and little kid games and im not either of those two, I was brought up playing action packed, gory, intense games

I’m 24 and sick of shitty games that claim to be revolutionary. To many shitty games with good graphics. I want to play games different and i like Nintendo’s philosophy about games. It should be fun.

-The first game console I ever played was a playstation
nintendo, but i liked playstation for awhile, but even though they have alot of games, they have alot of shitty games.

-It lacks the cool features that the other consoles have, like yeah im not gonna give a list of the things it lacks that the other consoles have cuz there’s quite a bit
the wii is cheaper. You get what you desire, a game system, if you want a computer, you should just get a computer. This half and half junk is hurting the game industry in my opinion. its gimmicky.


-And at those events whic hardwere held where the public could line up to play ps3 and wii (sry i forget the name of the events) i heard that the line was really small for wii, and i read reviews of people that played it, they said some cool things about wii but they all said the graphics lacked and they said ps3 was just amazing so im so sorry its just, hands down, iv had my eye on ps3 for some time now and all my favorite sequels will be on it, along with new badass games.

e3? playstation got blown out of the water by the wii. It was embracing. The playstations over heated, although i know it was the enclosure space, but it just showed how much people wanted fun when given a hands on choice.

If all the playstation is, is a xbox 360 with blue ray, or vise versa, I’m going with wii. Game Makers are buzzing about it. That’s a good sign. It means the love that game makers have for making games will be put into the wii. Different types of games will be made, and most of the time their will be no option to port these games to a ps3. Enix is actually delaying talk about kingdom hearts 3 because they want to see how many wiis are sold. If sony cant produce the ps3 fast enuff that means kingdom hearts 3 wont sell a lot of games and they want this to sell as its as big as ff. It wont go to xbox though, because enix doesn’t like the American system much. If sony looses kingdom hearts that’s a punch in the gut. It’s a console seller game. If the cant hold that title, it might be what kills them this console war. Right now sony has jack in terms of games. Good games may come out later, but not now, so judging wii on games out now is just as fickle. Although Zelda will be out on launch and that games going to rock.

i will get you the article about kingdomhearts if i can.


the wii is not for the conservative gamer. You should get whatever system you want to be truthfull, but i will be getting a wii, as it seems to be the system that packs the fun. Saying the wii sucks (not sure if you did say this, but anyway) just shows that you do not know what the system is about or what its trying to do.

nintendo dident get up one day and say crap, our system isent as good as the 360 or ps3. Our graphics will suck donky shit. Oh no.... so close to launch, what do we do?

Nintendo knows what its doing and stoped pandering to the other two systems and may have found the other two systems week points. the other systems are trying to be like computers, while nintendo is trying to be something a computer can never be.

If you get a wii, with zelda and the two rpgs, dragon quest and christal chronicles, by the time you finish 3 games, the really awsome games will be out.

Just wanted to reply to some things u said. ps3 games are gonna be $60 each..not $70, thats what iv read everywhere, those are hte prices of seen on games. Online gaming for the ps3 is also free, havnt u heard? Thats why 360 is critisized so much, its the only next gen that has to pay to play online. Yea im sure re5 wont be coming out to wii cause thats what iv read everywhere, even on nintendo sights (like this one) iv read articles with bummed out fans complaining how re5 isnt being released to wii (as of yet, that might be changed) but capcom announced it was scheduled for only the 360 (why the 360? it doesnt make sense) and ps3. Personally i think it makes more sense of wii gets re5, i dont know why they gave it to 360, guess they want more fans. Yea i have a dvd player, but its hooked upstairs for my parents to use, so its convenient having another one down in my basement that can also web browse, play cd's and play video games.ps3 has 50GB of space available for discs, where as 360 and wii are using an hd dvd drive (or sumthing) and they both have 9GB. Thats 41 more GB's ps3 has, so yes this will allow better graphics and more detail in games.Oh and no the event wit hthe two lineups wasnt at E3, it was some local thing that took place in numerous cities and towns. Anyways i dont wanna start an arguement bud, im just clarifying certain aspects of the ps3's capabilities, but ill stop now cuz i imagine i sound really annoying trying to defend the ps3.

Brawl will be playable online. C'mon, how can it get any better than SSBB against online players? That's like a dream to most gamers. Even hardcore Sony/Microsoft gamers like Smash.

HOWEVER, this is what made the game a game...if the graphics were different, the game would be TOTALLY different, think about it...

I hope the "nonbelievers" learned something out of this; BTW, that stereotypical view on the Wii is a real view by critics, i didnt make it up, since people really do believe those misleading ideas

This assumption, I assume, is based on the initial release lineup. The typical M game user is going to be looking for two things:great gameplay and great graphics. The argument that PS3 and X360 game players are mindless drones that just stare at cool graphics and play even if the game is awful is really quite goofy. Everyone appreciates great gameplay and to have lifelike graphics is a bonus. The reality, on the the PS2, at least, is there are a LOT of mediocre games...

There is a reason why so many software companies tout their graphics and that is simple: people want them... Given that, I would think Nintendo would have done itself a great favor by boosting the graphics capability a bit more than it did on the WII to offer an opportunity to produce higher-end graphics games for the console that at least come somewhat close to X360 and PS3 screens on a regular basis.

At first, I think some Mature gamers will give the WII a shot but I believe, in the long-run, as more titles come out like Call of Duty 3 where the PS3, X360, and WII versions are compared side-by-side, a clear pattern is going to emerge. That pattern will be: Do I take the (significantly) lesser graphics in hopes that the cool controller makes the game more immersive and enjoyable? Or do I stick with the been there, done that analog thumb controller and stick with the mind-blowing graphics? My belief (just opinion, of course) is that the majority of traditional hard-core gamers are going to stick with the PS3 or X360 in favor of graphics over the new control scheme. We'll see I guess.

Pop this thought in the back of your hand and ponder for a moment. What if Sony and/or Microsoft decide that the new WII controller is, in fact, phenomenal and gamers want it?

With the raw "horsepower" (<== KirbyRide64, that's a metaphor for raw computing capability) of both of these machines coupled with basically bottomless pit R&D budgets, they most certainly can come up with bluetooth 3D controllers similar to WII-motes and do something creative like the Hard Drive bundle with Final Fantasy (was it FF7 that had a hard drive with it? can't remember) to get a lot of units sold quick. Nintendo is in trouble, then, because they can't win on graphics and the controller becomes a tie. All they have left, then, is their incredible in-house development team and library of known-quantity licenses. What does that mean to the WII? Relabel it Gamecube 2...
