Ok...so some of you have answered my post (while others gave me some chinese riddles to solve).

So people here (not casuals) do think that Wii is the best gaming system this gen. This is something that I wanted to hear as I have a hard time understanding why anyone that playes games on a daily basis would choose the wii the "gaming system of the generation". Don't get me worng, I've had the wii for 2 years and I find it fun to pop in once in a while...and its a cool alternative to when I suck at Halo or street fighter online and I want something stress free.

To me Wii is like an automatic car. Its easy to drive everyone can do it and can be fun when you are with a group of people, but as a driving enthusiast, I will take a manual over an auto any day...

You're assuming that all Wii games are relaxing and simple like Endless Ocean or something.

The Wii is more like an automatic car and a manual car duct taped together!  Best of both worlds.

 

Or if you want to talk about what changed since last generation, the HD consoles got more powerful graphics and processors, while the Wii introduced new controls as an option and left the old controls intact as well.

So the HD consoles are the fastest shiniest cars of today, and the Wii is one of the fastest shiniest cars from a few years ago, but it can turn into a helicopter and back.

Lol...pretty good post.

This is all fine if every game had controller support or if nintendo released a kickass new controller to go with motion controls but not every game has that...plus the gamecube controller is showing its age.

Also, wii mote has proven to be great fun and working great when done right but even you have to admit it doesnt work with every situation. Shooting, throwing, shaking, thrusting situations sure...but basic finctions are sometimes completely ignored (such as camera control in No more heroes) also the controller is not accurte enough and quite often people jsut resort to shaking the controller...even if a specific command is being requested by the game.

Take a look at screenshot below for proof.
