Most of the "wii haters" are small boys between 13-18 years.. I gues it's becurse they have a x-box or ps3..
No matter what.. Wii is the most sold (this gen), and fastest selling consol ever..
so mayby you should change the headline to:
"Why do some small boys hate.. wii. (ipad, messenger)" when all others love them..

I still like it but the sucker should have been able to playback DVDs.

Extreme generalization with no proof. Just settle down and live with the fact that not everyone likes Nintendo's style, it is okay life will go on.

It's a fact.. not many girls hate a special videogame consol, they just wanna have fun.  (like 95% of all other people ). and most of the 18+ don't have any reason to hate, what they grew up whit..

I bet there are a lot more parents (like me) who are a bit afraid of the kids playing.. "not that fun. more like a death sim" x-box.. (playstation is a bit between.. and they gave us eyetoy, buzz, the plastic gitar and singstar.)

And look at what i wrote.. i'm not sayng all.. just that not all hate it..:)

haha. I am hoping this is a joke post because it is silly. Just saying my proudest moment of seeing my nephew play games was seeing him master red dead redemption and shooters. His hands barely fit the controller, but he can do it.

Of course girls want to have fun so does everyone. You have any more silly things to say? :) :) 

??? Ninty did do a good job with holding up the Wii, it could have been better. More support for their peripherials, where the hell was a new MarioTennis and or Golf? F-zero?? those OP rainfall games?? Dont know what 3rd parties have to do with that, anyone who is clearly thinking cannot put ALL the blame on 3rd parties, no one told Ninty to release what was essentially GC all over again with motion controls, AFTER most of the companies had moved on to newer engines that some could not possibly run on the Wii very well. Oh sure you could argue that they should have made games for Wii, thats exactly what they did, they just didnt put there AAA devs on them and why would they?? They were needed to make the more challenging PS360 games, you put your B teams on hardware that is not that hard to produce for

I like strawberry rhubarb pie.

Especially good when you have the munchies. :) :P

I never understood hate for the Wii, considering it is backed by arguably the best video game company out there, has the biggest library of games, has an interesting new control style, and is the cheapest of the bunch. Granted is has a lot of garbage on it, but I don't see why that takes away from a console if it also is plentiful with GOOD games, which the Wii certainly is.

The idea that the console doesn't have nearly as many good games as the HD consoles, which is the big point I hear from people, particularly on boards like these, is a myth. I have played dozens of Wii games that I have really enjoyed, and would clasify as good or great. What the REAL issue is the console lacks HYPED games, not GOOD games. The problem is many people haven't heard of, or at least enough about, a large portion of the Wii's good games. I really think a lot of people just get swept up in game hype, which the Wii doesn't have much of for their library, aside from the obvious ones like Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Zelda, etc..

And also the definition of "good" is a very relative thing on the Wii userbase, compared to the HD consoles, since it has such a diverse library. For instance, millions of people think Just Dance is great, but many of us probably not so much. Similarly we may love Muramasa but the average gamer is generally not going to be too into a game like this, assuming they've even heard of it.

The only legitimate reasons I can maybe see why some people hate Wii is its lack of solid online support and its mediocre graphics. Luckily for me I don't care too much about either of those things.

While I probably have clocked in far more hours on my 360, I appreciate what the Wii stands for the most of all because it seems to represent gaming at its arcade roots, which for my money, is the superior style of gaming. Not these linear interactive movies that seem to pass as games these days..

It was a repley to "why everybody hates wii" i just saing they don't.. If you think it's silly, thats your problem.. i can live whit that..:)
