The Wii is a well-rounded gaming machine. There, I just denied it.

What exactly does the Wii lack as a gaming machine?

 

Did you read my post, or did you just ignore everything I just said?

 

"I don't think there's any doubt that the Wii would have been popular if Sony made it. Your first sentence answers my question. The Wii would be useless if not for Nintendo's game. Could you imagine the Wii's current library without the Nintendo published games? You have to remember that, although they're great games, not everyone's favorite games are Mario, Zelda, ect... Some people like JRPG's, for example, which are quite thin -- non-existent -- on the Wii. Also, online gaming has become quite big; this is another thing that the Wii is lacking. I own a Wii, and I have enjoyed well over 100 hours of gameplay on it. However, it can not be denied that the Nintendo Wii is not a well-rounded gaming machine. You can't expect people to praise a console that lacks so much..."

 

Read it this time.

 

So that's supposed to be proof that the Wii lacks so much as a gaming machine, that no one can praise it? The only things I see in that list are:

- the lack of a specific genre (which has nothing to do with the Wii as a machine, and can easily change)
- online play (which the Wii does have, albeit not as developed as in the 360 and PS3).

All in all, that's not a very convincing argument as to why people can't praise the Wii as a console.
