I really can't understand why Nintendo hasn't copied achievements.

Seriously and I know some people will think this is trolling but I really think Nintendo has been incredibly lazy for at least a year now. It's too bad there isn't much real competition between the Wii and HD consoles because I think Wii gamers would really benefit from it.

Eh

They kind of did already in Wii Sports Resort

Unless you mean we should be able to measure our gaming peens online, in which case I'm not sure I see the point

In fairness, that demonstrably has a lot of appeal to many people. Whether that group is as large as the internet would have you believe, I'm doubtful, but there are definitely some people who buy Avatar just to rack up Achievement points. What's funny is that it doesn't seem to have taken off as much with Sony's Trophy system: I suspect it's because the things don't aggregate as efficiently, making it harder to compare.

This if for the wii only owners;
You can say it is for traffic if you want, but that is only the reason why they were allowed to post what they thought.
They are not fabricating the whole thing, this is how they feel.

I read through the summary, and even with the little sny additions in the OP, it still rings true.
Ask yourselves;
Would the wii be better with graphical improvements, an online system, 3rd party development?

It doesnt matter where you place the emphasis in your gaming experience, the simple answer is yes.

And imo, the GC was worlds different. It had great visuals, and the games had an overall richer feel to them. It seems like every wii game is a demo for a game that never comes.
Sure there are a very few exceptions, but that does not make the rest of the argument void.

If you are a wii only owner and you can possibly fathom any form of your wii games that could be better than they already are, (since everything can always be better)
Then seriously do yourself a favor and get a current gen system.

I understand you dont care about this or that , and games are about having fun... I agree with that, Just know that the wii is trumped on every possible level, not just visuals.

There is a whole other world out there, of GAMES. Games with amazingly rich stories, great visuals, games that will knock your socks off. There are even smaller (wii size) games that are leagues better with the XBL marketplace, and PSN store.

As a wii owner, you must admit it... its time to evolve.

 Cool story, man.

I have to admit, you did make me laugh.
