Why Does Wii Really Get A Bad Rap?

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?

So it seems as if you didn't start this thread to get people's actual opinions, but rather try and school people why their distaste for Wii is incorrect? 

I stated everything about my intentions in the opening thread. I said I would challenge people (especially from a factual basis) and that is what I have done here. Every opinion is super important to me and extremely valid. I just want to be sure that people understand where their opinion and facts may not align. And also to maybe correct me if I am wrong about something.

I am doing this for research as much as anything but do not act like because I raise some counterpoints that I did not make myself and my intentions clear from the jump.
