my dad was in china when the japanese invaded china in WWII, so he has a serious hatred towards most things japanese.  of all the companies, the one he hated the most was sony.  my mom was gonna buy a sony laptop, but my dad got so furious about it that she got a macbook instead.  also, he got a samsung flat panel instead of a sony bravia, even though he knows sony makes higher quality TVs.  

he also has a problem towards Toyota, but apparently he forgets that Nintendo is also a japanese company.  or maybe he thinks it's "just a video game company".

Hawk, I wish there was another game I could have tried that may have had better controls. I was over at a girls house and she just bought the system a couple weeks ago. So that was all she had and therefore all I had to go by. If she picks up those other games I'll give them a shot and see what I think.

@Sqrl, you may not have but there were many others who did. I'm sure if someone was in the Sony section of this site and said something negative about the Wii that you'd defend the Wii (or at the least, someone else while taking pot shots at Sony). Call me whatever you will, from my experience with the Wii, I cannot say that I'm terribly impressed.

@ onimusha12: I'm done with you. Bringing up whether someone has had a temporary ban or not does not make what I say invalid or wrong. Using that as an argument on why you are right and I'm wrong is quite petty and illogical.

@jjseth - While I agree some of what has been said by Nintendo fans on this site has been ridiculous and belligerent, the percentage of fanboys who either spout off offensive nonsense or half-formed opinions about an industry they know next to nothing about is much higher in the Sony sector than the Nintendo sector. There's been a recent shift in that towards Nintendo's side, partially because there have been some intelligent and engaging Sony fans showing up (thankfully), and partially because there have been some idiotic Nintendo fans (grr). However, even when there's a slight tone of gloating amongst some N fans over PS3 games flopping, it's got nothing on, for example, some of the statements jhlennon made about Zak & Wiki's sales (he was SO HAPPY that it flopped).

There are also a lot of Nintendo fans with a chip on their shoulders towards both Sony and Sony fans because by last generation, the arrogance of both of them had reached uncomfortable levels - much like post-SNES Nintendo and Nintendo fans.

Even if you just skimmed the OP as I did you should have been able to tell it was a fake, the weak logic alone was a dead giveaway

 Well I don't know your posting history that well, however logic in the parts of the post you made seemed very weak to the point of Fakeboyism

Rol and Mr.Stickball: I agree with both of you; I've been having some thoughts around Ninty for some time, but I've been afraid of posting them since there are so many Nintendo fans here, and critique against the Wii is a surefire way to get flamed.
Anyways, here we go:

The Nintendo Wii is a poor choice amidst the HD format war and the explosion not only of HD-TV's in peoples homes, but also peoples interest in technology.
I think we all can agree that people today are very aware of the functionality of their products at home, and they'll soon realize that the Wii does not play DVD's or any HD formats, that the diskspace is too small to fit significant amounts of music on and that it has no online plans/capabilities.
Also, in my personal experience, the Wiimote is not suited for conventional gaming such as racing or beat 'em up's pure rpg's.
In other words; only Wii specific titles appeal on the Wii in terms of controls, and of those, only a handfull are decent or good (everyone knows that the Wii suffers from a very poor gaming library).
And for a total gaming experience, many people want surround sound and dazzling graphics with awesome animations and realistic rendering, which is another thing the Wii is unlikely to deliver with it's sub-par power.

Lastly, the price of the games; we all know that Wii games are very cheap to produce compared to the PS3, the 360 and the PC, but the games themselves in retail stores cost just as much! In fact; here in the Nordic countries, the Wii games are often more expensive than it's competitor's!
Pair this with what has to be a very short life expectancy, and the Wii suddenly looks frail and threatened in the tough console industry.
Like Mr.Stickball said; people asume that Wii sales will continue being this high, or even twice as high! That's just plain ludicrous if you ask me.

I have to admit that I was surprised at Nintendo's initial success, but I've believed all along that it is short lived.

Kind of does separate those know your posting well enough to know a joke when they see it from those who can't though.

I wonder which of those I am...

Yeah, hahaha... I didn't even bother to read the other posts, so I fell for it too. Doesn't matter much, I've spoken my mind and I'll stand for it any day of the week. Besides, most of the users in here allready know that I'm not a big Wii fan.

I guess you'll have to destroy the battery then. But don't worry, they tend to blow up on their own!

Ummm, no. Wii is not going to drop. Just watch this xmas.

 EDIT: Oh you silly goose. You got me. I thought it might be a fake, especially when you mentioned the two gc taped together.
