Well, I could make 2 posts lambasting PS3 and 360 fans, but I have to go somewhere in half an hour and I'm busy watching stuff on Youtube. Just know that I hate all of them. Grr.

If you want, you can just cut and paste something from Squilliam's older stuff for one part, and something from dodece's works for the other. Saves time and effort!

You obviously havent seen the hundreds of videos of kids screaming in joy when they got the Wii the other day

 

kids... Kids do not understand quality. Just like a child does not appreciate fine cinema, literature, wine or dining a child does not know the difference between good and bad in the video game world. A kids joy is not telling of the quality of an item...Or maybe it is, but not in the way you are implying.

It seems there's some apathy towards the OP. Or at least this thread is totally derailed.

 

 i wholeheartedly concur!

legend, you have never like the Wii... if anything your apathy is because you hate the Wii because it is selling a record pace crushing HD and there is nothing you can do about it.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Hey now, I think Legend's position is largely healthy. Taking out a few of the more... controversial parts, his main point is that he's indifferent to the Wii and doesn't care about it. However, he hopes that those who do like it are enjoying their system. What more are you guys hoping for? That's a completely reasonable position.

Who's to say what's good and what's bad when someone genuinely enjoys it?

Following that logic as long as people enjoy a movie like Borat it's in the same league in terms if cinematic quality as the Gofather series? No. Enjoyment isn't the only component of quality.

 Are you sure, or are you merely going by what a bunch of critics tell you what you should think.  Heck people gave the english patient rave reviews, I watched it and was ready to shoot myself in the head after the first hour



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Who's to be the judge of quality? Another imperfect human being?

I think OP position is one i would expect from people, if you dont like it that's fine and everything respects it, bashing something just because you dont like it that's where the problem with gaming community lies and there is just too much aggresivnes within it. It's similar to my approach to the PS3 i really dont need that console (because it's games do not interest me).

I do agree that all the fanboys follow the same pattern, however Wii is getting absolutely ridicilous amount of hate from PS360 owners and websites, their console is attacked all over internet without any valid reasons therefore many of them are responding to those kind of attacks.
