I only have a Wii as my main console. I will miss good games. You will miss good games unless you own all 3 consoles.

Wii gives me more than enough to feed my nerd hobby.



It is possible to have any console -- Wii included -- as your primary console.

But unless you have EVERY console, you will not have EVERY game worth playing.

There are first-party (Mario/Halo/LBP), third-py arty (Bloom Blox/DOA 4/MGS) and DLC (World of Goo/Braid/flOw) games that cannot be played on another console. (They may or may not be available on PC).

[Feel free to comment on my selections made for illustrative purposes only. As I only have a Wii, I am not as familar with the offerings of the X360 or PS3].

So it all comes down to choice. I currently choose Wii.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

The only game I miss (I think, seeing as I haven't played it I don't know how good it is) at the moment is little big planet.... but I can get my level creation kicks elsewhere so it doesn't bother me too much.

I might miss Resident Evil 5, but from what I hear it is going to be more RE4 than REmake... and while I like RE4 you only need one game like it.



Not a chance for me as I'm in heaven with Gears Halo and Wrpg's. also survival horrors are big for me so no.

As Soiku said: Wii+DS= set for gen.

Miss ANY good game is impossible.

Miss any good game you don't want, sure. The Wii is my main console and will always be my main console. I got a PS3 cause I got it for the same price as the blu-ray player I wanted.

Now, I wouldn't have minded missing the 5-8 games that I want had I not bought the PS3, but it is nice to have.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
