Nintendo Fans, will you trade the Wiimote for Horsepower?

[Arius Dion]

I've read many threads on this site, before actually joining the forum. One of those threads spoke about if Wii wasn't released would you still have bought a system this gen. Now I'm not trying to insight trolling or whatever, but for me the answer is no. I remember last gen having a feeling of deja vu and games didn't feel as fun to me anymore. I was given a 360 as a gift but I wasn't really feeling that either, I figured I was gonna just sit it out this gen. My boy had the Wii, and I was like oh let me try it. Played the baseball and the tennis and I felt like I was pickin up a controller for the first time. I kept pressin buttons that had no effect on the screen, I had to get used to actually doing the motion, and is was FUN. I played Madden 07 and that sealed it for me, got the Wii in August with Prime 3, and have been chillin ever since. I say all that just to say that, for me graphics I feel hit a plateau last gen for consoles, I recently got put on to gaming pc's like 2 years back, and those graphics are ridiculous, make the HD consoles look like the Wii ;) But gameplay is king, and motion controls is the direction every console will adopt next gen. Nintendo deserves respect if nothing else for being a trailblazer of our beloved industry.
