You buy 3 extra controllers because the single player gameplay depth is missing from a lot of Wii games and playing with a friend is the only way they are fun. (wii play, wii sports, mario party, rayman 1&2, etc) The point is the total cost of getting up and running. Trying to add the cost of the TV to the PS3? Thats just silly and pretty much tells me you see nothing wrong with my point so you will try to move the argument to something else. Think of it as the cost to mom & dad buying a gift for their son. If they just get their son a Wii and leave him with only the 1 included controller and Wii Play - is he going to be happy? Or is he heading to Best Buy to buy the rest of the stuff he needs for when he invites his friends over to play? If you get him a PS3 and Uncharted and he wont leave his room for a couple days. |
I don't think you know what the word fact means.
That many games for the wii are multiplayer doesn't make it a fact that you need multiple wiimotes. That you don't like the single player games on the wii doesn't make it a fact that wii can't be played single player. (for the first year I owned my wii playing it anything but single player was rare)
What is a fact is that the only thing you need to run a wii that isn't in the console box is a tv. What is a fact is that you are comparing an optimized set up for a wii to a base set up for a PS3. Why does your fictious child care about having wiimotes for all of his friends, but doesn't mind playing his PS3 on a tiny standard def tv in his room? (plenty of party games, including the two you have given him, allow hot swapping)
As others have noted, what is really absurd about wii-haters who take this angle is that if you argue that the wii costs more money than the HD consoles, you call into question virtually every other argument that wii-haters make about the wii. If the wii is the most expensive console, and is the runaway market leader then you might as well be saying that it is the best console.
