All games are toys...

... VIDEO GAMES ARE TOYS! GET USED TO IT!

I fell like I've been here before.

Those things in your avatar should have cushioned your fall.

 That would explain why PS3 and 360 aren't as well recieved in the marketplace. The Wii is better at being a toy, and therefore a more amusing game system to own.

thank you famous ringo for accepting the difference in a mature manner. honestly. i never said the wii was a bad system, only that i think it is more of a toy and doesn't fit my tastes.
that was the best response i feel.

Here is the difference miyamoto meant, and i don't agree with his opinion on wii music, but this is his differentiation between video games and toys nonetheless

Video Game = Video Game
Toy = Fun Video Game

That is what HIS interpretation is, and since thats what this thread is about, it doesn't matter if you disagree, or i disagree.. that is what HE thinks the difference is

@theprof

This is probably the laziest research thread I've ever seen, at least pose a proper question, your so vauge that answering you in any fashion would be a "trap" or a verbal "pitfall". If you truely are trying to get answers for your questions then at least understand your own question first.

I can but I wont help you to understand what your asking, go figure it out on your own, then hopefully you can make a thread that reasonable conclusions can be derived. Seriously I can't find where in your OP you even gave thought beyond an initial gut feeling to post something you had a gut feeling about to what you posted.

This thread is absurd and sensless. The Wii has has more core games than the PS3, so is the PS3 a toy too?

@ the prof - I get your point, and I understand your fear of a fading away of core titles. Nintendo will always have Metroid and Zelda iterations in their core/serious libraries, plus with the new IP, Day of Disaster. Also Nintendo has part/most control on Eternal Darkness. They do still have something to offer core gamers, even if they are trying to court the casuals with "non-games" like Wii Fit. Other studios will pick up the slack and bring core games to the Wii, as they go where there is a gap in the library. The issue is people who are core gamers, own a Wii, but don't go out and get the core games because they'd rather play games on other consoles/PC.

Also, you need to remember the origins of games. Prior to the NES, there were not a lot of games that actually had endings. In the days of Atari 2600, most games never ended, just got faster and more difficult until it was impossible to beat them. The 2600 was the first casual system, even more casual than the Wii (1 button and a joystick), and it was the father of all of the consoles that would come thereafter. So maybe Nintendo isn't doing anything original with courting casuals, but just going full circle back to the market they abandoned over 20 years ago.
