Forums - Nintendo - "...the Wii is not a next-gen gaming platform. It's a gadget."

I just wanted to add one more thing since I haven't seen anyone say it yet ...

The Wii obviously isn't a NEXT GENERATION CONSOLE because it has been on the market for over 2 years now and is therefore a CURRENT GENERATION CONSOLE.

Totally agree.

Playing Madden, CoD or Rockband on the wii = toy.
Playing them on the PS3 = hardcore gaming experience.

This guy is brilliant!!!

There's no way I could have the Wii as my only console. I'd sell mine for a 360 if I thought my son wouldn't get pissed off. Aside from having some fun with Twilight Princess and Mario Galaxy, the Wii has totally disenchanted this life-long Nintendo fan and I'm sure I'm not alone.

 

LOL You're afraid of your son?

Guys, guys! It's ok! Maybe the cool kids, i.e. real gamers, will let us sit with them at the lunch table if we buy a ManBox360 or a ManStation3!

So me playing it everyday and owning over 40 games means I'm just a gadget whore then right. Oh well.

Hear that guys... I'm not a gamer anymore. Oh well.


 

No we are all gadgeters not gamers!

 

No I'm a gamer.  I don't buy every electronic out there or mess with PC tech specs like the rest of yall.  I stick to gaming machines and thats it.  But of course, with the Wii, I guess I am a gadget whore now.  Because obviously its not a gaming machine anymore despite that being the only thing it does.


Sorry it wasn’t obvious but I was kidding :P

You see here's the problem with you and the guy who wrote the article.  You think because you feel that way that everyone else does.  And its not the truth.  I don't need my 360.  I ahve it so I can play Xlive with my friends and RE5 the day it comes out.  Other than that its a bonus add on for my Wii which is my main console.  Yet you don't hear me bashing the 360 or saying it's a toy or gadget and the Wii is the only console for core gamers.  And I'll be damned if someone like you or someone like him is going to tell me I'm less of a gamer because of it.  You see that's when you really start to piss me off.  STOP ACTING LIKE YOUR OPINION IS THE ONLY ONE.  Some people like the Wii as a main console and some don't.  Who gives a shit which one is dominant.  Play what ya like and let the other gamers play what they like.  But have some god damn respect for the people that have supported this industry from the beginning and got it to where its at.

Someone quote that for truth.

I'm not going to even click on that link. That website does not deserve the traffic. The one article I did read from that site a few weeks ago was complete trash and a waste of my time.
