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.

Onimusha says hi. No PS360 fanboy comes even close.

 

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.

This has really turned into a fanboy cesspool and has been reported.

Compared to the PS360 library, it sucks in numbers and diversity, and in some cases, in quality as well.

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

 

Agreed. Look at all those yellows. http://www.metacritic.com/games/wii/scores/

i think what most people are reffering to when they say stuff like that, although i don't see that as much as you would have me believe, is that those things that nintendo did have it in a very comfortable position.

a lot of those things are downsides as well.

but the price and gimmick(which is not a bad word, but can be) have it in a much better market situation than the other consoles. it is up to the buyer to decide what kind of games they prefer to play. does the innovation matter?

i really believe that what has benefitted the wii most is it's marketability to people buying for gray hairs and short hairs. "Oh, this would be good for them."

to bring this around to your point, i think a lot of ps360 fanboys try to mention that some of the people with a wii will never play it. I had my wii when my rentz bought one for themselves and then never played it after the first ten minutes. i don't think that wii fanboys are defending the system per se, but defending their Ungoldy overlording they are "allowed" to have for spending 200$ on the system.

to do something like that when ps360 fans are merely saying that the market is literally flooded by radio contest giveaways, and the like, it is almost like the ipod in that the wii has become something that you use as currency.

starting a contest? reward with wii. selling candy bars for school? reward with wii. it has really become phenomena how the desirability price is through the roof compared to the monetary price. ps360 fans are just pointing out that a lot of those consoles are going not to eager to buy individuals/families but to ticket holders, attendees, and ski ballers.

 



My, they've come out in droves. These 'facts' of yours are merely the opinions of reviewers. I am very happy with the Wii library, and this is my OPINION. But thanks for further proving my point that PS fans like to come to threads and make unrelated statements about why they dislike the Wii.

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.

i agree, however, my outdated sony products still work, and my outdated ms products do not. just one man's case tho.

plus i heart japan.

 



Wow. The Wii library has a lot of crap. It reminds me of the first two Playstation systems or whatever console was leading at the time. The hottest console gets the most crap always because people are trying to make a buck. Those of you old enough remember a lot of garbage on the Atari I'm sure. It's how it goes. If Microsoft's system was number one then all of the crap would invade that system. This is the nature of the beast. If you have the number one system, you have to swim through the trash heap to get to the golden nuggets. I'm not saying that the Wii doesn't have a lot of great games. It does. It's just fans of the other systems want to concentrate on games like Ninjabread Man which actually came out for the PS2 originally.

I would shot Rol if Nintendo asked. I would shot starcraft or DmeisterJ even if no one asked. I would shot Frank for fun, so that he blamed Wii Fit and made a new comic.

since you're new here let me just let you know that you should either @ or "quote"button the poster you are talking about.
