Why Does Wii Really Get A Bad Rap?

I see. I do not agree with much of what you said but it is your opinion so I can accept that.

 

I also had a 360 before Wii (as I got my 360 a little after launch and it did RRoD on me) but I guess I could accept the downgrade in graphics if the game was No More Heroes or something. I did enjoy DS even though PSP blew it away, too. Maybe you did not like DS though because 360 murders it graphically, too.

To the contrary I loved the DS and in fact spent a month trying to get a DS Lite during a crazy shortage. Of course I wasn't expecting 360 level graphics on a handheld so thats apples to oranges. Not to mention, DS lite was around what $130 in 2006? Compared to $400 for 360...

Well from a factual basis, your comments have reached hypocrisy. DS looked like a toy and had horrible graphics for the time (PSP blew it away) and the games must have looked like a joke compared to 360. I can now say that you have reached a wall you must overcome here.

By the time you played Wii you had to know the graphics were a downgrade so if you were expecting 360 level performance (or even close as everyone back then knew it was closer to PS2 than 360) then you are just placing your own, hypocritical barrier on Wii. Comparing graphics with all consoles is fair since they are all video game consoles and they are all vying for your money.

DS also started the casual gaming revolution with games like Brain Training and Cooking Mama... yet people had no problems buying an underpowered handheld that looked more like a toy than a video game console and offered nongamers all kinds of options. No, no, everyone takes their ire out on Wii. See my confusion?
