Yeah, I though Nintendo recently passed the 127 year aniversary.

just imagine how many millions of people would have stick to the Ps2 if the Wii wasn't made!

the Wii is actually saving the industry, by offering a different and new experience!

just by watching the HD consoles to be beaten all you can say is that the majority of Ps2 owners or gamers are not core, not maniacs if you like but people who enjoy games some hours a week for example, not some hours a day!

Wii owners don't even notice that Wii graphics are not as good as Ps3, all they notice is that Wii is enjoyable!

*actually what is killing the industry is the shovelware that are released on the console, you go to buy a game and instead of finding the great collection of Wii games on the shelf you find 70% of those game to be horrible (like games about horses or dogs, or hell of unnecessary mini-game collections)
then people think the Wii has only bad games - great games like Zack and Wiki are lost in there with so many bad games, people assume it's another stupid game.... :  (

the fact that the Wii has worst graphics does not throw it out of the competition, is just a disadvantage!!

yup nintendo always been about gaming. started with card games (which are still games), electronic games (like tiger electronic), and arcade games for gambling. Videogame wise just over 25 years, but gaming wise over 100+ years.

yeah it will probably get him banned.

 

Is this argument still going on? I am getting so sick of the PC gaming crowd saying the NES is killing gaming and that Nintendo should stop making them already. The Amiga and Commodore are losing because they're in a market with little to no demand. If the NES didn't come along, by 1990, there would BE no market. Sheesh...

Wait, it's 2009, not 1988? And you're talking about the Wii, PS3, and 360, not the NES, Amiga, and Commodore? Wow, I totally couldn't tell, because your argument is the exact same as the ones made in 1988! What an amazing coincidence.

 Well, I suppose Nintendo's "love hotels" could be considered a type of "gaming" but how do you explain the taxi company or their food business endeavor?

Well, the Taxi "game" was a game where the driver attemped to avoid traffic, and get the person to their desired spot, like a real life Simpsons Hit and Run. And the Food business was like............Cooking Mama? Or maybe that Game and Watch sausage cooking game?

Wow... this thread makes my head hurt. Sorry, but the Wii will not be removed from consideration. With the exception of the 16-bit console era and pre NES days, there has always been 1 clear leader and 2 (or more) runner-ups. This is no exception. So the "non-HD" system is making a mockery of the "HD" systems? This would also fit the pattern of all those generations- it was not the most powerful system that won. What it is that makes a system win is delivering what the public wants. This gen, it is the Wii.

At the root post, sorry, but a line of saying you're not trolling does not make it true. If anything, your inclusion of a line such as that means that you know you ARE doing so, and trying (in vain) to mask it. Coupling this up with direct attacks and threats to other posters does not add any credence to your point. I am not a moderator here; I know this. But this line which you said...

...should be unacceptable to anyone, not to mention that there is a legal case, should the original person you posted that in reply to feel threatened.

I will admit, this generation, I am a fan of the Wii. However, I will give props to the others where they are due. Your post is clearly not deserving; it mainly incites flames- which are a result of your inability to give the proper recognition of a job well done. The Wii is not perfect, and I know this. I can recognize that the 360 (and the original XBox, for that matter) get online gaming right, and that the PS3 gets it right with every SKU having sufficient storage space. Like it or not, these are the three systems on the market, and they are in competition.
