If you are not happy with what the wii is offering, why don't you just get another console along with your wii?

 

 

Because i've also have a DS and a PC, and if you look at my profile, many, many other passions in my life...

My budget isn't the one of a millionnaire, even if i have a 5000 vinyls collection, a huge sci-fi library, most of my favourite movies and animes on DVD, and so on and so on... oh, yeah, and also: two kids to raise in a tough economic situation...

When i want a game, i pay it with my money, not with dad's or mommy's money: see what i just did?

Now, if PS3 was $200, and with a full PS2 BC, i'd like to finally buy Shadow of the Colossus or Ico... but it won't happen, and some of my best friends have the games, so sorry for Sony, but NO, i won't have a second job to pay myself a PS3, they can kiss my ass...

And most games on X360 are not my cup of tea, i'm in it for the japanese games...

Is that enough for you?

Btw: i usually don't like your comments, at all... just like i don't like trolls and gobelins...

 

No, I don't see what you did. Care to explain?

 

So if you don't like western games, then what are you complaining about? Isn't wii getting enough japanese support already? PS3 is only 400€, I really doubt you will need a second job to buy one. 360 is even cheaper.

 

 

Simple explaination: many gamers found on the net are too young to buy themselves anything... all they can do is say "i want this, i want that", "ill buy this, i'll buy that" like spoiled children, but they usually don't have the finances it takes to assume their needs... i don't say you're such a kid, but yeah, that was the meaning...

Now, 400 euros is a lot of money, especially when you buy many records, many books, many DVD's, many DS and Wii games, and when you have children...

Plus: it's hard for me now to go back to a dualshock... i know it works, but there's no turning back for me: wiimote, mouse and stylus all the way...

Plus: Sony can kiss my ass with their Blue-Ray... if they think i'll once again buy all the Walt Disney's, all the Pixar's, all the sci-fi movies i love, all that to hear that in 5 to 10 years, i'll have to buy a brand new collection AGAIN, because there's a new standard which is a "must-have", well... you can fool some people some time, but you can't fool all the people all the time, as a great man once said...

My DVD's are there, they're cheap and works just fine, upscaled in 720p on my home cinema... just as my Wii games look SUPERB in 480p on a big white screen... that's all i need...

OK, i think that's enough reasons, and i don't have to justify myself anyway... PS3 is a luxury i don't need, just as most of the luxuries in that crazy world...

 

Now you are going way off. You said that "I don't deserve quality software". Of course you do, just like every other gamer. If the quality software is not available on the platform of your choice, I don't understand how is it so hard to get another console. Especially when you whine that "all the money has been invested on HD textures and engines". Doesn't that mean that the quality software is still going to those platforms?

edit:

I understand that money can be some kind of an issue, but if you skip few of those games which do not offer quality you will save some money for another console. Also I think wii has good support from japanese developers alreade. Since you don't care for the western games, it is pretty weird that you still complain.
