If someone has console A and B and doesn't like the offering of console C then even if a franchise they like goes to console C they don't have to buy it.

Do what I did...buy it for the Wii and play it on my friends Wii that collected dust! If you're a gamer you should have at least one friend with a Wii.

It doesn't always work like that though. The Wii is a console that some trad gamers leave to dust, but it's an exception in that. Also, it's end gen. OP is talking about games that can arrive early gen. For me, I wanted Uncharted. I only learned lately that it was a game I truly wanted (before that I just thought it looked awesome). Not much time later I found a 2nd hand PS3 to play it on. Now I can actually enjoy PS3 games too. The same can be said about any console, you're not going to find 1 single console that offers nothing you would want, I don't buy that. It's usually that the person is not looking hard enough. Even the 360, which I'm not a fan of, has a few games I would really like to play.

As for 3DS, with the remodel, people will be selling their old 3DS'. It would be the perfect time to buy a 2nd hand 3DS with MH4 for people who like MH but not Nintendo.


Im sorry but the Wii is collecting dust on the casual end as well (where I live). The games that are still living on the Wii are mostly Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. Ive been to many friends house who have the Wii and the Wii's were eventually either traded for a couple games or being ignored unless forthe purpose of playing Super Smash. I have tons of friends with Wii's but when I want a Wii game I just borrow my friends Wii who refuses to game. He's trying to gradually bow out of gaming, but says he bought only a Nintendo Wii to cure the gaming itch because if he got a PS3 or 360 the complexities would set in and he'd become hooked on wasting time with it.
