Sorry what can you expect from a guy that types at 50 words per minute.


That is a tad slow you know...

 I would prefer the best console to win the market, which would lead me towards Wii, but it doesn't really matter either way. 



"Suck on it" -vgchartz mod

Around the Network

Hrmm. Well, I suppose I would pick Nintendo for all of them. Reasoning: I'm still upset with Sony for making a system that I had to replace 2 times last generation. I loved the games on it but shoddy technology annoys me. For the same reason, I don't want to know what would happen in a Microsoft dominated market if they can get away with crap like the RRoD in a market where they are far behind the Wii. So my final answers:

-have the best games: This one I don't care about at all, the best games are the best games, regardless of what system they are on.

-the biggest 3rd party support: I'd like to see Nintendo mend some fences this generation, so I'll pick them here.

-largest market share: again, I really don't approve of how Sony and Microsoft have treated their customers (read: Me) in recent years, so Nintendo.

-make the most money: Well... I guess I don't really care about this one. Microsoft and Sony could care less about making money on their systems, as they are just in it for a monopoly, and as long as Nintendo makes enough to keep making great games I'm fine too.

So yeah, that said, I'm still buying a 360 (and if it suddenly gets games I want, which I'll admit at this point is unlikely, a PS3), but overall I would prefer Nintendo to have a good, strong, generation. Not that I in any way want them to do so well that the others get knocked out of gaming. Competition is good for the market.

There is =a large difference between giving opinions and trolling.  Statements like "Everything in a wii game will be inferior to a PS3/360 games." are just ridiculous flamebait posted to insult people.  This is a site about discussing video games and video game sales in a reasonable, civil, and intelligent manner.  If you are not mature enough to contribute to that discussion in any way I recommend you find another site to troll.  This is not an environment for children or insults.



ps3 ftw

Are you saying the wii can equall the PS3/360 in that ?

How is realiity insulting. Should every MS/Sony fanboy cry "insults flamebait trolling" when sale are mentioned?

 



-have the best games

PS3 already does, nothing is better then MGS or FF.

-the biggest third party support

PS3 already does - SE Kojima Insomniacs, unbeatable.

-largest market share

PS3, long planed life span.

-make the most money

ME, Microsoft Sony Nintendo can go to hell!!!

He didn't say that the Wii hardware was limited in those capacities he said, and I quote: "Wii hardware guaruntees it will never have the best games."  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember the general opinion last generation being every game ever released was automatically ranked Xbox > GC > PS2, despite the fact that their system specifications were as such. 

There are many ways for a game to be good, and just looking pretty and having lots of stuff on the screen is certainly not the only one.  To make a blanket statement that the games will be bad simply on graphical capability is just like me saying all PS3 and 360 games suck because they can't be played with dual motion controllers.  Obviously the PS3 and 360 don't share the technology of the Wii with free range of motion in each hand, yet I'm not saying it's "technologically impossible" for a PS3 or 360 game to be better. 

Game quality depends on only one factor:  development.  Twilight Princess won Game of the Year over many games last year, even beating out the technologically far superior title Gears of War, despite being for all intents and purposes a gamecube game with motion controls tacked on.  Lair certainly looks gorgeous doesn't it?  The Wii is nowhere near capable of playing it right?  Yet a simple online sports game like Super Mario Strikers got 2 full points higher on a review.  Obviously according to that magazine's opinion, Lair is an inferior game to Strikers.  You may disagree, but that's YOUR opinion.  That's why you can't make a statement like that.  All you can do is give your opinion, hence my original statement:

There is a large difference between giving opinions and trolling.

 Ok id go 50/50 on that one, both sides are kinda right.

 But how is this "Mario galaxy > your favorite game." not trolling or flame bait ?  Only difference i see is one is a Sony fanboy the other a Nintendo fanboy.

"Wii hardware guaruntees it will never have the best games." lets say they are a graphic fanboy this is their god honest opinion.  So can they post THEIR opinion ifs their big deciding factor is graphics something that is very downplayed on vgcharts ?

Great graphics to a PS3 owner are as important as great use of motion controls to a Wii owner. 

 



Of course I want Nintendo to win, and get all the best games. Because I own a Wii and I would then be able to play all the best games without buying another console.
