Just to be clear; I'm not anybody's fanboy. Not until they send a check. [Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, please note; I CAN be bought. Rates are negotiable.] They are after all for-profit corporations, not a football team. They're not looking for fans, they want customers.
I just happen to like the Wii, and the games on it, better than the alternatives. If you don't, then run on out and buy a Playstation or an Xbox. They'll be glad to have you and you'll have a whole new console to bitch about.
Graphics: If they were that important to you then why the hell did you buy the system with the lowest resolution? HC eye candy is nice but it comes at a price and that price is how much it raises the cost of game development. Rock Star sells 13 million copies of GTA IV and loses money?? What's wrong with this picture? What's wrong is it raises the bar so high on cost that you'll not see great new games ideas like the Blob or Boom Box because everything has to be a sure safe blockbuster.
And for what, more pixels? So I can do what? Count Mario's pores? To me ultra realistic graphics isn't what makes most games work for me. Those particular where super high res graphics are important I'd play on the PC anyway. Although I find I take this option less and less often.
On Line: Once again, I'm more likely to play online with the PC, but then I get to hear kiddie trash talk - there's a thrill. For the on-line experience I want; like getting humiliated by my 8 year old grandson in SSBB or MK Wii, the online is fine.
Controller: You either really get motion control or you don't. I wish they could get rid of buttons, not add them. Whatever I found lacking in the Wiimote looks to be addressed very eloquently with Motion Plus.
So I'm happy with my Wii and I'm not a sheep; I'm an old goat. Old enough to know if I'm not happy with anything, I go across the street and buy the other guy's toy. It's called competition. And don't worry about feeling disloyal. Nintendo will get over the loss, trust me. The other 46,959,999 of us will just have to do.
