Yes.

For all the open-minded ones out there, not at all, its excellent.

I love my Wii, it has some of the greatest games of all time, OP is a troll and I am sure he will get himself banned from VGChartz eventually, which will make me giggle.

If your definition of gamers is restricted to average 13-30 year old males, who frequent video game message boards, then yeah, probably.

In your opinion third party titles are crap in the Wii. But in my opinion Just Dance is more fun than every single HD title a I've already played on my PC. Everyone has its own opinion and most of Wii owners have completely values different from PS360 owners, so this is why is so hard to most of PS360 owners understand why the Wii is by far the best seller console of this gen.

For example, let’s talk about graphics. What are graphics for an ordinary PS360 owner? Resolution, number of polygons, shadows, etc. However for a Wii owner graphics are just beauty. This why an ordinary Wii owner thinks that Mario Galaxy or Kirby's Epic have better graphics than Uncharted or Alan Wake.

Thats the dumbest thing in this thread. Your talking about art styles maybe, but graphics are what it is, resoultion and number of polygons and so forth.

You generalize too much of ps360 owners. I know why the wii is the best selling console this gen.

Sounds to me like hes talking about art style.

No, not everyone does, but I figured that I'd help the young man out since that seems to be what he's going for.

not by any means. IMO the Wii's library is superior to that of the PS3 (I can't comment on 360 as I don't own one myself) and I highly doubt that I am alone in that judgement.

The Wii will be remembering for broadening the appeal of gaming, many high profile 1st party game and popularising motion control. Not simply for it's large amount of shovelware and lack of effort from 3rd parties.

The Wii is an absolute perfect gamers console. It has all the games I ever needed and then some.

Games like Endless Ocean, LKS, Muramasa and Red Steel 2 alone made it truly special and unforgettable.
