The real question: what percentage of the 360 haters actually own a 360?

I guess it would be a very small percentage.


Honestly, about the same number of Wii-haters who own a Wii, or PS3 haters who own a PS3.

 

None.

 

I would say, at best, they played one at a store, or their uncle who doesn't live with them, owns one.

 

They'll keep the lie going all day, though.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Around the Network

1) Lots of Mac and Linux fanboys like to mindlessly bash microsoft like... all the time to justify their purchases and therefore everything microsoft makes, be it computer, videogamesystem or toothbrush sucks.

2) It's cutting into PS3 territory and was threating it for a while... pissing off a lot of PS2 fanboys who thought the PS3 was going to be dominant, and it's easier to pick on the 360 then the Wii which is kicking way too much ass. (Though some setill do.)

3) The original Xbox pissed off Gamecube fans because it came in that generation and did as well as the Gamecube while both got their asses handed to them by the PS2.... which most gamecube fans couldn't pick on because it was too dominant... so they transfered their hate to the 360... (and also take the time to kick the playstation brand while it's down.)

My theories anyway.

okay, you are using FOX news tactics. Okay I can roll.

1.Fire emblem isn't a major franchise (what? 2-3 game boy games and 1 console game?) So I never mentioned it with the milked games

Wait, what? Go check your facts, that's all I'll say.

2.I have owned a wii game since launch, I used violence as an example, because it is detailed, you don't usually see a really detailed mario jump attack. (i guess you could also blame this on the wii's inadequacy in graphics (I think i spelled that wrong))

Don't worry about spelling. I won't blame anyone for spelling errors, I make them all the time. However, the Wii has what you should consider the best violent game on any console, which is Resident Evil 4. Sure it's a port. You wanna talk about Nintendo first party games being violent, well, perhaps that is more of a design choice than laziness or inadequacy. Perhaps you should come to realize that everything that you don't like isn't necessarily "only for kids."

3. Mario kart. How could you say that looks good? It's colorful, to hide it's ugliness. *looks for pattern in all mario games*

Alright, man, comeon here. Don't play me for a fool. That's a PS3 fanboy talking point. Lets get this straight bro, the games made by Nintendo are quality. They don't have to be graphically excellent, the machine they are on sacrafices that for affordability. Instead, they have other advancements, but more importantly their gameplay is fun. Graphics, my friend, are what I like to call "cosmetic." If you hate the Wii because of its graphics, that's fine, but don't hate the developers and call them lazy, because it makes it seem like you think the Wii is capable of 360 quality graphics. It's not. In fact, I'd wager that most of the 1st party Nintendo games this gen have more work and development time put into them than most big 3rd party games.

4.Really? Maybe that's why people say the subspace emissary mode sucks.

So, it was news to you? Subspace Emissary does suck, but I can assure you my friend, it wasn't because of lack of money spent on a storywriter. Again, lack of story is simply a design choice you disagree with. More importantly, you don't own Brawl? I thought you had a Wii. Why are you going by "what most people say." Why don't you go by "what you say." You have played it right. I mean, your grouping it in your broad criticisms. Surely you've played all the games you hate so much.

5.Yes I do believe so. An example: well... all of those franchises I mentioned (pokemon is too obvious, all that's different is the new pokemon, that get more ridiculous each installment) I can only own so many games in each franchise, and play so many. And, yes, I think they are lazily developed, or more likely, made "safe" taking no risks and making the franchise the same each time a game is released. (EX: Madden)(I have a clear point, but You gotta think about it)

I understand your point. It simpy was presented poorly earlier. You say that the games play it safe with their development, by not expanding or changing the IP's. Indeed if your argument is that the games have always used the same base gameplay engine, like Madden, you're wrong. If you claim they use the same theme, premise, storyline, and goals, then you are correct. This is done to appease the immense fanbases these games have accumulated. Not because Nintendo has gotten lazy and doesn't want to make games anymore so they copy and paste code. You must understand my point. If these games weren't of very high quality, and if they weren't rabbidly loved by their fanbase, they would change or cease to exist.

Same with MGS, same with Halo, Same with GTA. In fact the only valid example I could accept of a game completely reinventing itself each series, would be Final Fantasy, and many of the fans are perpetually pissed and hate every new installment of the series. Indeed, I think the fanbase would prefer constant remakes of Final Fantasy VII with new story, to the FFX and FFXII entries.

I see your point with the "you don't know what your missing" philosophy when you recreate the same IP's, but surely you see the merits of keeping your fanbase happy while still delivering quality and freshness. The Poke'mon games, for instance. I'm not entirely sure you've ever played them. However there is a RABID fanbase for that series. Nintendo would be frankly, the dumbest kid on the block, to change them up. When they do, with Pokemon stadium, or Pokemon snap, those games sell poorly.

Not to mention, you said 20 years earlier. Mario and Zelda have both reinvented themselves during both the SNES and N64 eras, and Mario has once again with Galaxy, reached a new height. Would you say Mario Galaxy is a cashin, or lazy game? If you've played it, you certainly couldn't, I don't care how much you hate "mario" games, you can't call that a cashin. It's silly. It's like calling the Mona Lisa a doodle.

6.And finally the last part:

 

Again, I DO OWN A WII, and I have probably owned mine longer than you.

Probably. I own a PS3 and have probably owned mine longer than you have.

#2 I never said it wouldn't be fun for old people, the wii ads make sure that message gets across

(accidently left out)

I'm 26. My very existance disproves your broad stroked statements, does it not. Perhaps you can call me a fanboy and marginalize my opinion. In fact, I consider people your age, "kids" which is frankly, the truth, if you really are 16, then by your own logic, the Wii should be right up your alley.

Nintendo games are fun.. for the first 30 minutes. Then anyone who likes more than Ooooooh HOOOOO itsa mario! will be watching TV. My point is, they're not deep, and it takes more to hold an adults attention.

Because Fire Emblem, Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Earthbound, none of these games can really hold an adults attention. Games require storyline, graphics, and violence to do that. You can't be serious.

#3Oh and You insult me? Eyerytime you post on an xbox, or ps forum you become the Dr Jekyll of VGChartz

I've developed quite the reputation, not because I'm evil, but because I am a great communicator and I can easily communicate intelligent response when I see ignorant and hateful malice being portreyed towards any system. I simply choose the Wii as my champion, because well, I love Nintendo, I love my Wii, and I love gaming. If you knew me you would also know that I like my PS3 as well, however, I don't find need to insult other peoples favorite anything, nor slander it with broad generalizations aimed at angering others for my own pleasure, or my favorite console's standings.

 

You attempt to marginalize the Wii with your statements. That is clear. "The Wii is just a kids system, so it doesn't matter how well it sells, or how many great games it's got." You're beind the times. The kiddy stigma was popular when Wind Waker was around. You won't win that argument at this point in time. Best to pull up Wii-Bingo and reroll. I suggest "The Wii is for casuals" or "The Wii's gamerankings numbers over 80 percent, lawlz."


Thank you for your kind reply sir.


to be honest, you write to much and I'm too lazy to read all of that , so i've answered the bolded:

1. I just checked, only 4 games released in NA, maybe that's why I said it hasn't been milked to death?

2. I never mentioned the ps3,  stop changing subjects.

3. I just noticed Wii-bingo, at first I thought you wrote wii-bozingo.

You bore me to tears.

You'll never be credible on this forum. Anything you predict can simply refuted by quoting some of the things you posted in this topic. You're biased, not for a company, but against a company. I hope your goal on this forum was simply to degrade the Wii, because you'll be hard pressed to disguise your prejudice against it, and if you stay on this path, trolling bans will soon meet you with open arms.

 

Forgive me for boring you.

I hate nintendo as a company, as most people hate microsoft as a company (like you), I hate the wii exactly because I was extremely disappointed by mine, enuff said.

i think it is because the 360 is the worst of the 3 consoles. it just doesnt stand out. wii has beautiful list of exclusive games and ps3 has blu-ray. 360 has halo not really on the same page as the other 2 consoles.



the nintendo wii will outsell the ps3 and the 360 combined by the end of 2008.                           

        PS3 will out sell the 360 june 2010.                                                                      

  GOTY of 2008 is super smash brothers brawl.... hopefully.

END OF 08 PREDICTIONS:

wii: 44 million         xbox 360: 24 million      PS3: 21 million (made june 08)

wii code: 8094-5344-2140-1400

brawl code: 5412-9565-3232   

Back on topic:

2 things. M$ are jerks, and the system breaks. M$ has EVERYONE believing that that Live is the best online, but really? "OMG! PSN is so crappy compared to Live. Live is the has the 'better experience'". Really? You go online, and you play multiplayer games with people all over the world. In that since, is Live really THAT much better than PSN or Wii online? The only advantage it has is you can private chat while you're in-game. Is that really worth $50?

Unified server? That's why, when over Christmas, when Live went down, Xbox owners couldn't play ANY games! If a server goes down on a PS3 game, you can just pop something else in, because the DEVELOPERS handle their servers, instead of letting Sony manage everything. Why do you think games like WoW have several servers, instead of one massive one? Dedicated servers are way better. And Wii online, respectablely is good too. Forget everything about how "Xbox has the better online" because essentially, it doesn't. They're all about equal. Only reason Live ISN'T free is because M$ runs everything. Enough online hate.

Games. People hate Xbox because the only touted heavy hitters are, you guessed it, shooters. Say what you want about "Oh, it has Forza 2 and Crackdown" but what games do they put out there as reasons to get the system? Halo, Gears, Bioshock, Mass Effect (you can try and call it an "RPG" but really it's a shooter with RPG elements). Everything else is just "Hey, this game is on the system too"

Lastly, it breaks. No hardware tests beforehand. They just wanted to beat Sony to the market. And because of that, 33% of their gamers had to go through all their crap. That's not acceptable at all. They didn't care about gamers, they only cared about profit.

Now don't get me wrong. I was stating reasons that I THINK, OTHER people hate the 360. While I personally prefer the PS3, I still see the 360 as a good console (I wouldn't dare pay for Live though, because I honestly don't believe it's worth $50 to do in game chat and in game adding friends.....because playing online is playing online. All those perks shouldn't really make it BETTER ONLINE!!!!!!!) I like games like Halo and Bioshock, and I really want to play Lost Odyssey. I think I said this to someone before. If I had access to a 360, I would play it's games, but I wouldn't own one myself.



Every system has its share of haters. Why isn't there a why are there so many Wii haters thread? I don't hate any of the systems but the I think that the XBox 360 has an alarmingly high hardware failure issue. The X Remote if it's true will be a huge mistake on their part in my opinion. They aren't going to get Wii owners to buy their system if thats what they believe. They have a quality library of games and should continue doing what they have been doing. They are the new kid on the block and need to take their lumps and not panic. What was the question again?

Because, people that own nintendo's and ps3's don't have our game selection and have to spend more time on here.

EDIT: i posted in your other thread.

You should make a thread called: why so many nintendo haters? People will be like, WTF?
so your one of those haters too?
yes, only because I have a wii and know how crappy it really is.
did you get one because you got the RRoD? and you only have wii sports
I got the when it launched, Nov. 2006.

I got my xbox360 9 months later.

I don't just have wii sports, look at my real gaming collection dim-wit.
im talking about your wii games,
exactly! look at my collection if you don't believe me!
I see:  Wii Sports, Wii Play, Zelda TP (GC port), CoD3 (multiplatform), Virtual Console stuff etc.  Wow, what an amazing selection representative of all Nintendo games on the Wii and in fact Wii games in general.

If all Nintendo had out on the Wii was Wii Sports, Wii Play, a Zelda GC port, and the original Super Mario Bros. and F-Zero, I'd think it was abandoning teh hardcore too.
