the wii has the weakest library. ps2 ports, shovelware and same old ips. 360 rocks!

 

Yes Mario Kart Wii,  Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Super Mario Galaxy,  and Metroid Prime 3:Corruption are all horrible games. They're old IPs too.  Wow!!!  Maybe you're right .   It has crappy ports like Okami and Resident Evil 4 also.  It also has unplayable 3rd party showings like No More Heroes, Boom Blox, and Zack and Wiki (all old IPs right?)  You are right.  I'm selling my Wii today and getting a 360.  How could have I ever been this stupid? 

Didn't we see iterations of these games last gen....and the gen before that?

When the Wii got new IPs....they flopped hard. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The reuse of their typical first party isn't what's making it sell, otherwise the GCN and the 64 would have DOMINATED the competition.

 

 

Obviously you didn't read my post in it's entirety.  I said they are old IPs and that everyone's right.

Man, I just think this guy is crazy mentally, he just needs a girlfriend. I used to be a hardcore 360 then PS3 fan, but when I got a girl, all my fanboyism just went away and I became neutral...lol but I was never THAT bad

 

haha, you just don't know Rol

he is famous for being sarcastic/ironic in every post, so ofcourse his statement was just a joke

First, I skipped all after the OP, as I knew it was going to be a discussion I'm not interested in.

Still, I believe the situation is a bit different.

 

Ps3 owners haven't become a lot more annoying (I refuse to use the word fanboy), but rather that the amount of them has increased. http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=41845

Today, I believe there are more Ps3 owners than Wii owners on VGChartz (not by a lot though). X360 comes in a distant third.

But, the case is that a lot more Wii owners have awesome replies (ala, TWRoO, noname2200 and. Rol ), that don't show any bias (or little in some cases), but still prove others wrong.

There are also a few X360 people who are awesome, but there are near none for Ps3.

This isn't to say that Ps3 owners are less intelligent than the others, but that there is a lack of top notch posters that favour the Ps3. Add that with more Ps3 owners who have no clue, and they appear to be the most "fanboyish".

I agree with the last statement.  I have also noticed a high incidence of PS3 fans storming Nintendo specific threads just to make negative statements about the Wii's library, graphics etc.  It's as if puberty skipped over them and they didn't get a chance to grow up.

With my experience on this site (and many others) I find that until the Wii is brought up, Wii fanboys don't talk about anything unusual, just "oh look Nintendo is doing great" "look whats coming out for Wii!" etc. Don't get me wrong it's pretty fanboyish to say "nintendomination" every week, or how much the Wii is winning, but most people rarely ever do that.

What really, really ticks me off (along with many other Wii fans). Is when the PS360 fans start downplaying the Wii as "only winning on price" "all casual games" "kiddy console" "terrible graphics" "gimmick" "Why is Wii selling so much" "not really a competitor". That's when the Wii fans strike back saying the above is not true, which it isn't.

I will not deny there are bad Wii fanboys everywhere, but you can't deny that PS360 ones are way more aggressive.

Scroll back up.  This very thread is littered with random posts like: "Wii library sucks".  They are proving ph4nt's statement as well as answering the question in the title of the thread.

But i do agree that 360 has an amazing library, even though i have one, i still kinda deny it because of my intense voracity towards MS. just like the pres. race, i would pick sony, the lesser of two evils (when it comes to corporations.)

 

 

 Corporates are all the same: they want our money, they want to impose their propietary formats  and apply non sense policies to annoy their consumers. Microsoft has always tried to slaughter their competitors and so has done Sony in one way or another. I see little differences between them so I don't understand the hate for one and not for both of them.

Evilness of Microsoft=Evilness of Sony.



This whole thread was started by a Wii fan (im not saying "fanboy") to troll on the PS3. Thats why he put (PS3) in the thread.

Stating a fact (metacritic says hi) does not make you a fanboy.
