Wii is good for Kids and drunken people? PS3 FAN! I'm seriously confused

[cAPSLOCK]

I remember that feeling. I was a PC purist that would scoff at anything on a console as "baby shit for retards." Give me Half-Life, give me StarCraft! Give me real games with lots of depth and insanely complex controls! Best computer every year, 180 wrist-flick headshots.

Then I sat down and played Mario Kart: Double Dash with 4 friends years ago and realized that it was the first time in a very, very long time I was having real, honest, genuine fun.

Fun, as in nothing else matters but the smile on your face and the smiles on the faces around you. Where you play 2-3 extra hours not because of some story, but because you kinda forgot time existed.

And as soon as you also figure out that video games are, above all else, about that feeling then you'll grow up a little bit more and giggle at the children that talk about "mature" and "hardcore" gaming.

If the women around you are anything like the ones around me, get Mario Party, Mario Kart Wii, 4 wii wheels, and watch in fascination as "that fucking stupid video game machine thing" becomes something your girlfriend/wife genuinely wants to do.

Double bonus because the Wii is designed for people to play multiplayer together in the same room. Get a Wii, 4 controllers, Mario Party, Mario Kart, and 4 wheels ...then ask those "pure sexy girls" to come over and play. Make a party out of it. Take it really slow; my wife has been playing Mario Kart Wii for about a 18 months now and still worries about Rainbow Road.

Hate to break it to you, dude, but you've been lied to. Nintendo is not the boogeyman the PS360 marketing departments want you to believe they are. They aren't here to kill Call of Duty. What is Nintendo? Go look at the all time game sales records. That's what Nintendo is--the best publisher in the world by a HUGE margin.

So no, you weren't just drunk, Nintendo really is that awesome and fun.

Now go out there, stomp some turtles, and get your 4 player LOCAL (i.e. you and 3 sexy women on a couch) multiplayer on.
