Stupid Nintendo Wii EMO kids

I might pick up a Wii sometime in the near future. Just looks different and it costs are a lot lower than a PS3. Plus I have a 360 if I want to get serious. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

If people want insane graphics and good games, they can get a PC, which has consistantly been ahead of consoles in that department since ever. They are trying to make consoles into gaming PCs and they don't realize that hardcore gamers aren't afraid of computers in 2006.

The Wii makes sense in that its markedly different from a PC and what a PC can offer, and its cheap enough to justify buying one out of curiosity for the uniqueness of the device's design.

That's why the Wii is selling more. So for the dude who said its because "people are dumb", I think its the exact opposite. It's because Sony and Microsoft assume that people need to have their hands held into the world of impressive graphics and good gaming, but more people are smarter than that than they think. The Wii simply takes a different approach.

I'll be buying none of them, however. Just an observation/opinion.

my buddy has a wii. Got it for $250 and it's entertaining, but not worth $250 to me.....It's too "active" to play when im bored at 3 in the morning if that makes sense.

yeah weird post for sure...
Anyway be glad you didn't get a Wii. It sucks. It's just a mildly enhanced GameCube with a new controller system. (CPU and GPU are both simply faster versions of the GC processors, and it has a bit more RAM.) GameCube was pretty good, yes, but in this day and age (relative to the competition of 360 and PS3) the Wii is a joke.

you are what we gamers like to call a "fanboy" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

to just blow of the wii's innovation as a "new controller system" is pretty stupid. Why knock what sony ignored? As I recall both sony and microsoft are using basically the exact same controllers they had before. It's basically graphics vs gameplay style, and the last time i checked gamers played games for the fun and being able to swing a remote like a tennis racket is a lot more fun than having dirt splatter on the screen being rendered by an expensive processor.

I would take a Wii over a PS3 anyday.

Besides...games for the PS3? Aside from Resistance there is nothing I would buy for the PS3 right now. Especially now that sony lost GTA totally

As a completely irrelevant somewhat drunk comment about your sig: **** micheal moore he is a publicity ***** with only the vaguest idea of whats going on used to sensationalize dissent and invalidate the genuine problems with the current and past regimes.

If you want to "get educated" I highly reccomend Noam Chomsky. He's not some rabid liberal media *****, he's a historian, and he doesn't deal in hearsay or opinions, he just puts the current situation into context by going along the timeline of how we got here.

I'm not claiming to be uber intelligent or a significant source of insight, but I hate seeing talkshowhost-fueled so-called conservatives using such laughable opposition figures as micheal moore to discredit dissent itself.

/irrelevant rant

ps- dead rising ****ing owns.

[mtlhead 10+ year member]

ebgames at the mall had a shipment sunday of wii's. i still want one. just remember to get a new strap as they recalled the stock straps since everyone would get so into it that the remote would fly out of their hand and the strap would be too loose and break a window and crack a tv.

I knew that they were both getting them. I meant they lost the exclusive-ness. They had it at first...then they had the mere we get the game then xbox gets the game a year later factor. Now it's launching for both systems at the same time. Sony has very few good exclusive franchises and to me, it seems like they just lost their Halo.
