7/10
+Good first party line-up
+Innovative motion control
+Commercial Success
+Brought in a fairly small market and made it huge, Casual Gamers
+Gave gaming a good reputation for the most part
+Cheap and accessible
-Dated Graphics
-Weak Third party line-up
-Left Hardcore gamers out to dry
-Didn't bring a single memorable new IP (IMO)
-Same old mascots milked to death (IMO)
Overall, it did a great job with expanding gaming to both adults and kids and made video games look
better in the eyes of parents. However, to me, it was dated, the motion control novelty wore off after a while, I got tired of Mario and the same mascots that they always use to push their consoles with and the biggie for me, no memorable new IP. That is what really breaks a console for me, which is why I never bought a Wii or 360.
I still can't the deny that the WIi did more things right than wrong and was a universal success as far as sales. So well played Nintendo and I really hope WiiU will bring something unique to the table. Looking forward to it. |
I find it pecular that you are judging a system you have never owned

I agree, I may not be the best person to judge the pros and cons of a Wii, but I have played it countless times. I've kept up with most of the news and big releases, It's not like I boycotted the thing and really a lot of the cons are the reason why I never got it, again, especially cause I am tired of Zelda and Mario and Metroid. I like to think I didn't say anything too ignorant or biased that I couldn't argued reasonably, feel free to point it out if so. Either way, I don't hate it, but it's just not my cup of tea.
