I can never quite understand this. You hate the Wii just because it is bringing in new gamers? Or it has many party games? Or it has a different control type? I don't understand it. How can you be a big Nintendo fan and hate the Wii? It's not like you are forced to buy crap like Wii Music. So far we have had Mario Kart Wii which is a million times better than the GC version. We have had Galaxy which is a billion times better than Mario Sunshine. We've had Twilight Princess which is the equal of Wind Waker (some prefer Wind Waker some prefer TP but you can't say with certainty one is better than the other). We've had Brawl which is better than Melee. We've had Mario Strikers which is better than the Gamecube version. We will soon be getting Pikmin 3 (Mr Miyamoto now that you have finished with the ridiculous Wii Music I hope you are going to get down to making this). It will probably be as good as Pikmin 2 and better than Pikmin. So how could you love Nintendo games and hate the Wii? It puzzles me. Even if you only ever bought those games I listed that would still be an amazingly good selection of games.

I don't like the controller, I don't like the fact that it has no multimedia capability, I don't like the weaker hardware (yes, PC gamers like me care), I don't like its lack of storage room and proper online and lastly; I don't like the game library. Aside from Mario Kart (which you really need a GC controller for), Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3 (so I hear, haven't tried it yet) and Zelda there is really nothing enticing in the software department for me. I don't care at all about Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Pokemon and other stuff like it nor do I like the "Wii" series games at length. And; let's face it, most multiplats are heavily toned down or otherwise poorly made for the Wii (not all of course, CoD 5 for instance, is looking sharp). When you think about it, the Wii shares very few of past Nintendo consoles' characteristics and what made me love them is now gone in favour of bringing in casuals. What does it matter to you or Nintendo anyway? They lose one sale, not a disaster, and I don't feel like I'm missing out not owning one. It really does not affect my or your gaming experience that I don't own or plan on owning one, I would just like to exercise the right to have a different opinion, something many Vgchartz users have a hard time accepting (yes, I disagree with you and many others in this thread but I don't waste my time trying to convince you or convert you).
To be fair; I don't own any current gen consoles yet, and there are several reasons. I don't own a Wii because of the above (trust me, when I first saw it I was excited as hell but the finished product let me down big time, I really did want to love it the same way I love the GC, N64 and other fabulous machines Ninty have made in the past) and I don't own a 360 because I don't trust the hardware at all and with my decent gaming rig I can get the games I want (mostly) on PC, like Fable, Gears of War and Mass Effect. Forza would be the one incentive towards buying a 360 for me. I don't own a PS3 because it is too darn expensive, there still aren't enough decent games that I really feel like spending 100$ on and I'm still waiting for proper BC in the hardware.
There, have I cleared up most of it now? As long as the tone is as civil as yours I really don't mind being asked about these things and I think we all grow on sharing experiences and opinions.
PS: I'll admit that that I possibly will buy me a Wii one day, but the price would have to be really low both for games and hardware for me to do so (gaming is too costly here in Norway imo). It is, after all, the best party console so far this gen!
