Forums - Sales Discussion - Wii vs HD consoles (poll)

No to both questions, but those don't cover all the options. If the Wii did not exist I would have a different console by now most likely. My purchase of a Wii pushed back the possibility of me buying another console for a long time. I might pick up a 360 after the next price drop, but I can wait because I have plenty of new games for the Wii to play.

Thinking about it I can say your poll is not going to show what you want it to show. On a gaming website you will get mostly the dedicated gamers posting as less dedicated people won't have any interest. As a result you will find lots of people getting their console of choice rather than settling for an alternative. The desire for a console will be based almost exclusively on the list of games available for it and that likely won't change with the purchase of one system. I suspect if you did an almost iddentical poll for the 360 and PS3 you would get similar results.

To Each Man, Responsibility

First got a Wii and loved it. Then got a 360 and loved it, but Wii still my favorite. But doesn't mean I hate the 360.



Got a PS3 and love it.
Got a Wii and its ok.
Will never own a 360

I could have done without the Wii for sure. My son plays it all the time...mostly LEGO SW and Wii sports. I play it on occasion with him.



1. no
2. no

the correct question would be?

has anyone not wanted a Wii, bought a 360 and a PS3, and still not want a Wii? Then I would say YES.



Around the Network

No
No

I need all three consoles to play the games I want.



I used to have a 360, but now have a PS3, I have not and have no intention of owning a Wii, I'm not into low powered cartoon games, I'm more of a audio/videophile only the best in visual and audio quality for me.

got a Wii, wanted a Wii and don't need the other two

 

I'll apply that as my answers too. One or two games on the other two awakened a lil' bit interest on me... but then Smash Brawl happened. I don't care for what PS3 and 360 have to offer me (teen-oriented games + same old school gameplay)


1. No
2. I got a PS3 but still want the Wii though



no
no

i'm an HD FANATIC...i have 3 hdtvs (have had at least one for 4 years now) and watch almost exclusively hd channels

however, i'm not interested in ps3/360...after 20 years, console gaming was getting old and repetitive until the wiimote came along
