I bought my Wii because it's the best gaming system ever created and has the best games and the best controller.

I bought my Wii because it's the worst gaming system ever created and has the worst games and the worst controller. Every time I see it, which is almost every day I point and laugh so you cannot imagine the incredible joy it is to own one.

 



Tease.

360 about 300k units away from extending lead over PS3 to 8million consoles. Should get there next week at this rate.



@Blacksaber

I completely agree with you.

People buy Wii because of Wii sports/Wii playMario Kart/Wii fit

Thats the holy trinity right there. Wii pray to the Sports, the Fit and to the Holy Kart.

Edit: alternatively you could say, Wii play to the Sports, the Fit and to the Holy Kart.

IMO, the best system ever is still the SNES.

I never said it didnt have a good lineup of games, I said compared to the amount of AAA ip released this year on the ps3 and xbox 360, its not so stellar.

 

That means 2 things, but neither of them is "the Wii had the worst 2008 lineup."

1) The majority of gamers don't care about Metacritic ratings.

2) Game reviewers really prefer shiny games, whether they sell or not, and whether anybody else likes them or not.

Game reviewers are obsolete.  Don't bother with Metacritic.  Develop your own tastes.  You don't need those nerds to tell you what is good.

 

leo, do you enjoy games that aren't AAA?  What are the lowest-rated Metacritic games you enjoy?

 



selling the most does not mean its the best.....

 

the wii had the most facinating game this year, but overall, it had the third best gaming lineup of 2008.
