Of course, the first and only Nintendo handheld that I ever bought was the NES Special Edition GBA SP, and I was playing games a long time before Nintendo ever put out the NES (On Atari 2600, Colecovision, an IBM PC Jr. and various Tandy IBM clones that I bought over the years). But much like the Wii, the Gameboy as it existed prior to the GBA never seemed to be worth my time. I could see myself being more likely to buy a DS than a Wii but only because of the Square Enix games on there. I certainly would not consider Nintendogs to be something that would encourage me to buy the system except for the fact that Carrie Underwood looks nice in the commercial. The only Nintendo console I've ever truely liked was the SNES and again that was because of Zelda, Metroid, and the Square games. Something like Wii Sports would only hold my attention for a few moments much as Pong did back in the day before I wanted to move on to something much more intellectually satisfying like a good book, movie, or deeper type of game like a very immersive rpg like Fallout 3. |
The Wii is doing fantastic, no amount of verbal gymnastics from you will change that. If the spectrum of 360 and PS3 games is all that you want to enjoy, then do that - enjoy all of the fun games on those systems.
I far prefer Nintendo's offerings, but I'm not going to poo all over what the 360 and PS3 offer. I love my 360, and when I have the cash I will have a PS3. I could give my entire gaming history like you have and tell everyone why I prefer Nintendo, but why would I do that? Although this thread was probably started as a way to slight the Wii, it's focus was about the chances of the 360 or PS3 to eclipse the Wii this year. Stating our gaming history and preferences have little, if anything, to do with that.
