As most of you know, I'm considered a premier Nintendo fanboy, and with that said, I do hate Microsoft severely. I feel they run a shoddy sham of a company and I piss on Windows and Gates while I'm at it.
That's why I felt so bad when the opportunity arose to straightup trade my Wii for an Xbox 360. I knew I had to take it, for several reasons:
A. The 360 is worth 350 dollars, the Wii is worth 250. If that is the only factor then it would appear I was getting a deal. Especially since the 360 comes with the reciept(bought last November, so 3 year rrod protection) and the packaging. It's also owned by someone I know(my brother, who also prefers the Wii but mistakenly bought the hot white box instead) and kept in prestine condition. In other words, misuse is not a factor.
B. This will allow me to repurchase a Wii at a later date, adding 2 Wii console sales to that 100 million mark, personally.
C. I've beaten just about every game on the Wii over and over again, and now have been playing my PS2 for a LONG time, I took a break and played Kart, but after burning through the content I went back to Persona 3, which is fantastic, btw.
D. The Xbox 360 has a wide back-library of games I've never played, and that aren't on my PS3, and some good ones coming out real soon, as well as some must play games coming up, namely Ninja Gaiden 2. I made a list:
The Darkness
Halo 3 - Never did finish the single player fight
Mass Effect
Eternal Sonata
Gears of War
Bioshock(about 10 hours in atm)
F.E.A.R.
Lost Odyssey
Condemned 1 and 2
Ninja Gaiden 2
Too Human
Fable 2
Gears 2
Fallout 3
E. I made my brother and his wife very happy, because they want to play my copy of Guitar Hero 3 that I gave them with the Wii(I got orange box and a couple other games, they got my gems collection, the same one you have by your wii). She wants Wii fit very badly, and so does he. They also love Mario Kart.
So, before you go off on me for being a Nintendo traitor, know this:
The Wii is the best console of this gen, imo. This comes from someone who doesn't own a Wii anymore, and who in fact owns an Xbox 360 and PS3. I feel it's dominant in quality games at the high end of the spectrum.
However, before I am a Nintendo fanboy, I am a gamer. I'm not stupid enough to let my Nintendo fanboyism talk me into playing games I've played a million times, over and over, when I could be playing a whole crapload of AAA fantastic games I've never got the chance to play before, just so I can live up to some invisible assumption that "Zenfoldor is a Nintendo man and spits on your consoles from his mountain."
I don't have a PC that will run those games. They ain't on the PS3 yet.
Assassin's Creed sucks, so I still won't be playing it on PS3, 360, PS3, DS, or anything, it's terrible imo, screw that game.
So, until further notice, I'm a PS360 man, for as long as I can stand it. Probably around christmas time, I'll be packing up and making the hike to gayspot and picking up a Wii from the Retard Zelot NPC that works there.
I'm well aware this move bucks the usual conventions and ideas you people tend to have about fanboys. However, in the end, I am, and always was a grown-ass-man who has been gaming on all consoles available since atari was introduced. The Wii will be fine without me until November, and by that time, it'll have acrued a nice little back-library of games for me to play, like Tales of Symphonia 2, and hopefully Fragile and Icarus.
In the meantime, any recommendations besides my obviously thoroughly researched list?
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
and a PS3
