You mean that game that, just from the E3 presentation, permanently put me off the Wii I already owned and caused me to buy a 360? YES PLEASE! |
Proof, if it were needed, that E3 is aimed at people who are easily influenced.

I was not easily influenced. I didn't want to leave, but what the others were offering was much better. I was a PC/Nintendo gamer (and am again now) but a PC that could do what the 360 could was quite expensive at the time, and so I was missing out on Bioshock, Gears and numerous others. It was too much to bear. The fact that I didn't like Mario Kart Wii, Mario Galaxy or even Prime 3 all that much and that dumbed down Super Paper Mario made me feel like Nintendo had nothing left for me. E3 2008 was just the push I needed to turn my back completely.
Now the tables have turned. The Wii U is a fantastic machine with a pretty great lineup and a PC that can outperform the PS4 is extremely affordable (I built one in 2011). Also, improvements in processing power don't seem to be creating new gameplay experiences.

You could have... I dunno, owned both consoles.
Like I did. I only liked one out of the three games you mentioned, but If I did what you did, I probably would have missed out on a lot of nice things if I didn't become a console bigamist.

I did. The Wii is still in a cupboard somewhere. I only pull it out on the rare occasion I want to play a Gamecube game. Classics like Metroid Prime with normal controls, Twilight Princess with normal controls, the best Paper Mario ever made, or Resident Evil 4.
