I'm insulted that someone actually thinks ps360 owners are going to shift to the wii. Simply ludicrous if you ask me.

How can games like RE5, FFXIII, SFIV, LBP, MGS4, Killzone 2, oh god... I'm not even going to bother listing the other 50, 100+ games that I'd prefer to play on my ps3 before even touching my wii. And out of all the hype of how many exclusives the wii is getting in 2009 - a total of 3 actually interest me (wii sports resort with motion plus, monster hunter 3, and punchout). Compare that to at least 15 games on ps3 that I'll be buying in 2009. will HD gamers being moving to the wii? I think not. In fact I think given how good 2009 is for both HD consoles I'll hazard a guess that for the majority of people who have a HD console plus a wii will use the wii alot less compared to their HD console - at least I know I will.

I'm not trying to put down the wii but I don't like it how just because the wii console is selling well, it somehow makes people want to play it - especially those who have already made the choice to have their HD console as their primary games machine. I mean the wii is TOTALLY different from the ps/360 and I think many HD console owners view the wii as an inferior console just because it is different - and more to the point the games simply don't appeal to them. Case in point the 2009 wii exclusives has been hyped by wii owners but for the most part it gets a big 'meh' from HD consoles owners.

One last thing I'd like to add is that people keep saying that the wii will somehow be the bastion for all the great games of this gen because it's the no.1 selling console and therefore all the developers will be shifting their focus to the wii. I can only say that I think that is the biggest load of rubbish I've ever heard. Obviously 360/ps3 are getting alot of big multi-platform games that the wii isnt - need I list them? And until the 360/ps3 stops getting them as developers start to make their AAA games on the wii I will call BS on that claim.

I should say I will play my wii more this year than I did last year but given that I played my wii for a total of maybe 3 hours in all of last year, it won't be that hard to beat.
