Because the Wii is going the wrong way for the games I like. PS2 games will do fine for my low budget, low graphics games. I dont need another console.

The only thing that limits Wii games is the developers themselves, the Wii is more capable than an Xbox

 

Nice try Avinash. Xbox was LAST GEN, try comparing the Wii to the 360 and PS3 and see what you get. Won't be pretty. The thing that limits wii games is the lack of power the system has, more so compared to the 360 and PS3. And this hatred comes from an ex-nintendo fan who owned every nintendo consoles since the first nes.

And yet the gameplay on the PS3 and 360 is still the same as last gen, only with shinier graphics.

Gameplay is not limited by the Wii's hardware, you can create the same games on the Wii,

just forego all the shiny graphics

No offence but I really think that is a lame statement. I will give it to the 360 and the PS3. Yeah they have prettier graphics but there is also a change in what you can do, how fast you can do it and more imprtantly what the enemies can do and percieve.

You can name whatever game you want to..... but I doubt you can find previous gen features in games like dead rising, gears of war, doa4, rainbow six, motorstorm and virtua fighter 5. Seriously after playing a boatload of games I assure you that there aren't any gameplay experiences that match in the previous gen. Using your frame of thinking you can call halo 2 a prettier version of goldeneye.... right?..... the gameplay is the same right.? They are both FPS but there are many different things you can do which is directly attributed to power.
