Yeah, all of those nonviolent, kid-friendly games like...

...uh...

...

 uh...viva pinata, singstar, banjo, dance dance revolution, ratchet and clank, lbp, and i'm pretty sure there's more.

what the hell were you thinking?

Normally I avoidthese threads because they're stupid, ignorant, pointless, stupid, flamebait, stupid, and tired, but good lord...we've been getting them endlessly. Can the mods actually do something? When these threads get posted once a day it gets pretty close to spamming/flooding.

Well I too have owned every single console (Except VirtualBoy). I have been a die hard Nintendo fan since day one. I mean the first game I played was MarioBros on the Atari2600 and DonkeyKong after that. I love Nintendo to death.

But as you pointed out Nintendo isn't targetting us fans and die hard supporters right now. I don't think you should sell your 360 because to be honest I don't think Nintendo will permenantly abandon us. The problem at the moment is , at a time when not a single third party is creating a game worth playing Nintendo for the first time since the NES is giving us nothing to play for months at a time. When Nintendo finally gives us something to play its WiiMusic or WiiPlay or WiiSports:Resort.

I myself am simply playing 360 till Nintendo gives me something I want again. Animal Crossing , The Conduit, Disaster:DayOfCrisis are three games I'm looking forward too!

But to be honest I think most of us die hard Nintendo fans being perfectly honest are dissapointed in how Nintendo has handled this new casual market. They are changing their usual hard core franchise oriented fanness into a innovative free thinking new franchise producing machine. But these new franchises aren't the new Pikmins of Today they are targetting non gamers.

If Nintendo doesn't give me games to play next year and I don't see a new game from a favorite franchise in the next 3-years. I won't be buying Nintendo's next console. But with A Pikmin3 already promised and a new Zelda and Donkey Kong in the works.

I can honestly say I'm still going to be a Nintendo fan next generation. Don't sell your Wii as you said yourself your looking forward to Conduit. Their will be better games coming next year thats a promise, if their isn't I'll renounce Nintendo myself! But that won't happen because Pikmin3 comes next year heck yah!

No offence but if you need to say "I'm pretty sure there's more" then their is obviously not enough. The Wii is hands down the most family friendly console. Don't kind yourself by bringing up the few games on 360/PS3 combined that are family friendly.

Almost every game with the Nintendo label on it is family friendly and thats alot of games (Nintendo Published). Sure theirs the Eternal Darknesses and Conduits of the industry but hands down Nintendo's products have always been family friendly.

Wow, that really makes you sound like an complete jerk. Could have been worded a bit better, eh?

@Garcian & Chichi

OK pointing out that he shouldn't sell the Wii since others in his household enjoy it is one thing.. but getting in his face about parental skills is something else entirely.  The consideration of his son has been pointed out, persuing the point further is not only presumptuous and rude, but also off-topic.

@dougsdad,

First and foremost don't allow yourself to get sucked into conversations about your personal life if you aren't seeking the opinions of others on the issue.  You have no reason to justify your actions to anyone here, yet you lend them weight when you respond to it rather than ignoring it.  Be smart and don't get involved in conversations you want no part of...unless I'm mistaken in assuming you weren't here to defend your parenting skills, which I doubt highly.

As for the thread itself, what exactly is the point of the thread?  You created it so you must of had some purpose in mind, no?  If it was simply to say "wii sucks and I'm selling mine" then let me know I can just lock the thread now and be done with it. 

However, if you wanted some pros & cons  of selling the Wii and buying the 360 then several folks have provided exactly that and perhaps you should give them the courtesy of a response for investing their time and effort into assisting you rather than giving that courtesy to those who merely wish to criticize your parenting skills. 

Or perhaps you had something else in mind, but if that's the case then please do inform the rest of us precisely what the topic of this discussion is meant to be.  Because frankly we are on page 2 and I'm still not quite sure what you had in mind, which to me means I'll likely be locking it soon unless it quickly takes a turn towards a coherant discussion.

Just accept that Nintendo does not only make games for you now. If you loved the GameCube, there is no reason why you should be bored of your Wii. The number of 'core' games that Nintendo has put out, is greater in this point of their life-cycle.

Im with you really the Wii is the firs Nintendo console that bored me, but I will keep it and still paying it occasionaly and playing my main console the DS.

If you don't think Wii Fit, Wii Sports and Wii Music are fun, then maybe you should get your endorphin receptors fixed.
