SeriousWB on 23 February 2008

Got a GC, my family house has a Wii, but I don't yet. I plan to get one within this year though.

I bought a Gamecube for Resident Evil 4 but there were no other games on the system that appealed to me (except Eternal Darkness which I don't own). The Wii doesn't have a "must have" game for me (I don't really care for Nintendo first party games).
I admire your dedication to that game; of course it is easily awesome enough to be worth it.  You must have been pretty annoyed when it went to the PS2, eh? 

As for me, the GC was the only last-gen console I owned until 2005 (when I got a DC), so I definitely don't qualify for the OP question.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

The wii is the first nintendo I will not buy. The machine just wasn't made for someone like me.

I'll definitely be playing MK and Brawl. All of my buddies will be getting it.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

I agree with you Final. The PS360 has the games that most interest me. The only reasons why I'll get a Wii is for KH3. There are a few games that interest me on the Wii, but it's not a lot that would make me go out and get one.

I OWNED (OWN) A GAMECUBE AND DIDN'T BUY A WII!!!

Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

It sounds like you are waiting to see of Fatal Frame is Killer Ap or not. I think it has a shot since Nintendo is helping with the development.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Sky Render on 23 February 2008

I too am opposite of this. The only TV-based console I owned from the previous generation was the PS2, and the only one I own for this generation is the Wii (thus far, but unlikely to change for a good long while; the PS3 and 360 lack exclusives that interest me thus far).
