I am amazed how much the Wii gets ignored in the console wars.

Get used to it, its been ongoing since the birth of the PS1.

Even if Nintendo delivers an amazing hd system next gen, there will be a ton of slagging on it, simply because it is a Nintendo product.  Ive run across a lot of gamers that say that they hate NIntendo and they hate the Wii, without giving a valid reason for it. Its just an ingrained hatred, sorta like a gaming version of racism, lodged in their heads somehow, maybe subliminal messeages in advertising? who knows? =)

I know. Nintendo has made mistakes, but these people will not recognize their triumphs, and only afterwards pretend they liked something Nintendo did (like acting as though the SNES was Nintendo's best system after tearing it apart when it was actually around).

"The Wii won, it won years ago. What else do you want to talk about?"

The aspects of the system other than sales leads? The Wii kind of has hardware and software, even if it's not to your tastes (same as Madden gets discussed by non sports game fans).

I do disscuss Wii games all the times.

I know you do. The OP was about gaming enthusiasts in general.
