Also...why is bluray considered the next gen when it comes to movies when all it offers is a prettier picture? Silence of the Lambs is not a better movie cause its on bluray... Yet when it comes to videogames, you people claim visuals don't matter. Sounds like some people here are in denial or hypocritical on the graphics issue...

I'm not sure what you are trying to say since this is a contradiction.  Do you mean Silence of the Lambs is not better because it's on Bluray, and games are not better with better graphics?  Or do you mean Silence of the Lambs is better because it's on Bluray, and games are better with better graphics?

Im saying that the movie is the same...but it is considered the next step because it looks better. Therefore a game that looks better should be considered the next step too no? Guitar Hero 3 looks better on ps360 than Wii...is it not a better game experience?

I wouldn't consider the movie the next step just because it looks better.  The media a film is on has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the movie.

I've played Guitar Hero 3 on both the 360 and Wii, and they are both the exact same game experience.  The only thing the 360 version has over the Wii version is the DLC, and considering I hardly play the bonus tracks already on the disk, that is no big loss to me.

Games are about having fun, and for the most part, the game play mechanics are what dictates the level of fun in a game.  High end graphics are a bonus, but by no means necessary.

 

Obviously you havent played it on a large TV screen and in surround sound. You obviously don't own a ps3 or an xbox if you don't think DLC is a big deal. I've spent 80 bucks on rock band DLC alone...

New Halo map pack just came out...for free and I'm having more fun with that than anything I've played on the wii since RE4 4 months back. And it was free...

For wii only owners, DLC really can not be understood as Wii games are not designed in a way they can use DLC to an advantage. The only think I can think of is like a new event in mario and sonic olympic games or something like that...that would be kinda cool.

I will not argue here anymore as I feel like I'm arguing against the whole site...but I do feel that nintendo is getting love from everyone just for being nintendo. Wii mote is basically a cool experiment accessory that worked out big for ninty when it came to sales. I appreciate they took the risk, but to do this, they cut the user short on many aspects that are standard with the other 2 consoles. Its not like they don't have the money to compete as they are a bigger company than whole of Sony electronics division so they could have included better hardware and bought some dedicated servers for an online comunity. When Nintendo releases their next system and is accepting HD gaming with DLC and all the jazz...I guess most of you will be on here and still praise them for evolving...

No it wasn't a huge screen, but it was surround sound.  It's the same experience.  I'm not sure why you think slightly better character models would make a better gaming experience, especially when you should be watching the notes.  Again, why would I care about DLC if I don't even play the bonus tracks included on the disc.  I generally don't download extra content for games on the PC either (maybe if it's free).

Nintendo is not bigger than Sony.  Not sure why you think that.  Also, the Sony gaming division can also take losses for months on end, while Nintendo cannot.

 It seems like we differ on what makes a good gaming experience.  I think it's the gameplay, while the features you think are important I view as secondary.
