No actually its pretty awesome if you own any of the consoles, and I have all of them. The Wii has been by far my favorite and the first one I bought.
So far Im looking at the backlog of titles available for 360/Ps3 and seeing much less diversity in choice. Either its a racing game or a FPS game and very few in between. As a fan of platformers, there are slim pickings. I already have the Ratchet games and Banjo and Kazooie and I will buy the little 2D ones on download services, but the Wii is a lot better for this, if mainly served by Nintendos platformers and Klonoa. In terms of racing, other than Mario Kart, the HD twins definitely win there. I am anjoying NFS shift and Forza 3. for Shmups, Xbox is the clear winner.
However for sheer variety, Wii is the only place I can find NiGHTS, its the best version of No More Heroes (cant imagine this will be much fun in HD without the wanking motion to recharge or the satisfying sword slash motions). It is also the console to get for rail shooters, and for the vast majority of classic games. In short, the Wii is pretyt hardcore and serves a large audience with what it does offer. The HD twins serve a much smaller audience, but by no means is that audience MORE hardcore IMO. Hardcore is just playing a game incessantly. Id say my mother is a hardcore wii fit player. shes always on it trying to beat her best scores. Hardcore is just a term for dedication to something. Doesnt matter what it is. Doesnt matter what system its on. Its a mindset not a console choice. And thats all there is to say.
