Forums - Sony Discussion - I bought a PS3 and stoped playing Wii

I bought a PS3 and never actually once played my Wii.

True story.

I'm sure there will be some decent stuff coming out for Wii next year, but for the rest of 2008, I'd say the PS3 and 360 lineups have the Wii beaten hands down.  It's almost like Nintendo forgot to compete.  I'm sure Wii Fit and the other usual candidates will continue to sell well, but that's no condolence if you already own those titles.

I guess if you are excited about Wii Music and Animal Crossing there is some hope for you, but then there's Little Big Planet.

considering you didn't buy any of the following
super mario galaxy, mario kart, super smash brothers, metroid prime 3, zelda twilight princess, okami, zack&wiki, RE4. RE:UC, de blob, no more heroes, etc etc..

I'm not surprised.

Well, if he owned the first four, considering RE4 (a superior version) is on PS2, Umbrella Chronicles is awful, Zack and Wiki is an adventure game and frankly de blob sounds like the game name equivalent of the Wii.

Good for you by the way. It's good when another person experiences the PS3 and loses their old fashioned 'too expensive' and 'no games' prejudices and loves it.

 

Why would the PS2 version be the better version?  The Wii version is missing some of the extra content but it has the vastly improved control scheme that makes it a dream to play.

Not true the Wii version has got all the Ps2 extras, plus better graphics.

i think people initially attacked him because he said that everyone else would feel the same if they did what he did, and he has cleared that up now that it was not what he meant, apparently

EDIT: something i'm confused about now though is, if he got a ps3 in dec 2007, why are we hearing about it today? (i realise he wasn't a member prior to a few days ago, but really)

I'm in the exact opposite position, I bought my Wii at launch so almost 2 years ago, I bought my PS3 4 months ago but once I was through MGS4, it was back to the Wii. Right now, I would say it still gets about 85% of my play time and my PS3 has spent more time being a DVD player than a gaming device.

 

Speaking of which, I challenge you to a duel!  Turnips at dawn.  You know where.



I have had X360 and PS3 since day one. I have never actually owned a Wii, but my wife runs a day care through our house, and one of the parents lent us a Wii while we are watching their kid. So far the games that I have given a go at on Wii are, Mario Galexy, Metriod Prime 3, Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Wii Sports, Kung Fu Panda, Cars the game, and Rayman Raving Rabits. Out of those games only 2 have kept me going back to play the Wii, Mario Galexy, and Wii Sports. All of the other games have better counterparts on either the PS3 or 360. IMO both Halo, and Haze were much better games than Metroid. The motion controlls did not add a hole lot as I can just set my arm on the siderest of the couch and it only takes slight movment to get the resired results. Basically Wii Sports is still the only Wii game I have played that I have enjoyed the motion. As far as Mario Kart goes, I would rather play either Burnout Paradise, or Motorstorm, and now with wipeout that is also in the mix. I am a huge Mario Kart fan, but Super Mario Kart remains my favorite, and my SNES is still hooked up. Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a good game, but I have just grown tired of fighters, and yet again I often find myself playing a SNES game, but remade for X360 called Street Fighter 2. As for the rest of the games mentioned, I think most of us can agree that they are all just plain crap.

So there is my opinion on the consoles this gen. I would say I am about 75% PS3, 20% 360 and 5% Wii between my current gen gaming.
