Well lets just throug the DS and PSP in against them too then. The Wii targets a different audience, and has different games. The X360 and PS3 are almost identical with multi-platform games, etc. so this is why they are compared to each other and the Wii is not. Wii really does cater to a whole new audience, as well as to nintendo fans and kids alike

Ah, but see, this is perception. I'm a PS2, PS1, N64 owner and this generation I own a Wii. Are you basically calling me a different type of gamer just because I own the Wii? I don't think so. My game library is based on all what you guys would consider the "hardcore" games and own some of the silly 5 minute thrills games. 

It's not perception. While the Wii does have some good quality harcore games, the big ticket items on the system are the following four titles:

1. Wii sports

2. Wii fit

3. Wii play

4. Mario kart

 

None of these games are hardcore in the slightest, and appeal to the type of audience i was talking about.  I can't honestly say why you have gone from PS1, PS2 and not gone onto a PS3 or X360 as i don't know you. But perhaps you liked your N64 more than the Playstations and prefered mario, smash bro's, etc..

 

Either way there is definitely two very good reasons not to compare the Wii to the X360 or the PS3.  And that is:

1. Different target audience

2. Wii has almost the same market share as X360 & PS3 combined so there really is not competition.

3. Dot points make me feel big in the pants ;)
