Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Why I love Nintendo

FaithRaven on 16 February 2008

Disclaimer: I'm not a Nintendo fanboy and the Wii is the first console I bought after gaming 11 years on PC. The reason why a PC gamer like me picked the Wii over the other consoles have been discussed in a lot of threads, no need to say it again.

I actually plan to get a PS3 or a Xbox 360, but the reason why I don't do it (yet) is because I find Microsoft and Sony immature.

So here are my 3 main reasons why I love Nintendo and why I think that Nintendo is the only mature company:

1. Only one SKU. You don't need to bother if you should buy the cheaper or the most expensive one, or if you should wait for the next SKU to be released. Sony did a complete mess, they added features, then removed them, then promised to add them back. People have no idea what to buy now.

2. Fiability. I would be crazy to buy an Xbox 360 with all that hardware failures. There is no official support for consoles in my country and this makes it even worse.

3. Straight Orietantion. I still laugh at Sony when they said that rumble is last gen and then they've added it to the PS3 controller a few months later.

Xbox 360 and PS3 are two very good consoles with a lot of potential. But the hardware failures (360) and the marketing stupidity (Sony) makes me stay away from them, at least for the moment.

Well, I'd say the number 1 reason to buy the Wii is because of its exclusive games, but still, congratulations on your purchase (though I don't know how recent it was)!



I drink your milkshake.

Got my Wii 3 months ago.

That 3 reasons are for why I love Nintendo as a console maker, not why I bought the Wii.

Thanks for the clarification Rugger08.

Wii is the console with most exclusively games, Xbox and PS have the same games with a little diference, your election is the best.

I love the Wii too, maybe if the PS3 was 300 I would love that as well.




Nintendo still doomed?
Feel free to add me on 3DS or Switch! (PM me if you do ^-^)

 1. Because we all know lacking choices is great for the consumer, right? You don't see any other company making only one model of a product.

2. it makes no sense, since PS3 is just as reliable as Wii.

3. ...or like how Nintendo focused on Wiimote but with 2 of their biggest games, people rather play them on old controller?

 

Honestly, those are some of the worst reason to pick up a Wii. It's almost as bad as my ex's "Because it comes in pink" reason.

 

The reason to get a Wii:

1. Nintendo first party games.

2. completely different way to play games.

3. it's less expensive.

Congratz. on making the switch. :)

The exclusive games are something else that made me a Nintendo fan boy.
I totally agree when you talked about the SKU.
Sony did make a mess and Microsoft's arcade 360 forced consumers to buy an additional hard drive there fore confusing them.
and like u said w. sony as well.
