Forums - Gaming - Did you buy a ps3 or 360 just because you thought buying a wii is kiddy?

lol this thread is funny, anyone who buys a console because of how its perceived, should themselves be perceived as a noob.

No, but I do get annoyed by the people I know who fawn over the Wii. Most of them have quit doing it by now and will let the system stand on its own merit, which is fine by me.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

I don't think people buy consoles just because they don't like its competitor. That would just be silly and would probably mean that person was seriously insecure.

 



No. I bought a PS360 b/c they have more games that I like. Of course I got a Wii later on in its life.

I bought my 360 because of the games library. There's just nothing on the Wii right now that I consider worth that much of my money.



Lol who has an image of the Wii being kiddie is wrong, look at the games already, theres just not any FPS that u can consider mature.

my pillars of gaming: kh, naughty dog, insomniac, ssb, gow, ff

i officially boycott boycotts.  crap.

I actually bought 2 Wii's so far. One for me and one for a present. But wii wasnt for me and i gave mine to my sister couple of weeks ago because she likes it. Im getting her wiifit too.

PS3 is enough for me, i got it 9 months ago because i wanted to. Anyway i dont play games that much, not too much time for me..a job and a girlfriend are both above gaming.



I like technology when its moving forward..

i think people who buy ps3 cause its called "ps3" is immature
