Asking whether or not the console war has done good or bad is like asking whether or not food has done good or bad. For as long as the term would even make sense to apply, it has always existed. I think this particular turn in the console war has been mostly good, because it has forced people to think about what it is gaming means to them, and what they want gaming to be. That isn't possible unless the consoles are doing very different things.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
