The thing is there's a game for everyone on the Wii, action adventure your thing? Zelda, Okami.  Like shooters? Medal of Honor Heroes 2 and Call of Duty WaW both with controls you can't get on a normal console.  Third person shooter? Resident Evil 4.  Light gun?  Medal of Honor Heroes 2, House of the Dead 2&3 and soon Overkill. Action game?  Mad World, No More Heroes, Bully.  Platformer? Mario Galaxy, De Blob. Fighting? Smash Bros Brawl, Mortal Kombat, Castlevania Judgement, Tatsunoko vs Capcom. Puzzle? Boom Blox.  Racing?  Mario Kart, Excite Truck.  Sports? Mario Strikers, PES 2008 with unique Wii controls that are not "waggle" it impoves gameplay, Tiger Woods, MLB Power Pros, Madden 2009.  Party? LOL.  

Really man what more do you want?  There's a huge list of games right there, and most don't "waggle", see waggle was made by developers that don't want to go through the trouble of making unique Wii controls, but the guys that put forth the effort to make games that typically control better then any traditional dual analog game.  So please refrain from saying Wii adds nothing but waggle... it's trolling... as I just gave a list of games and many don't "waggle"... They use motion controls to improve the games not replace a button press with a motion...

OT:  BTW there already is a PS3 motion controller, there's a thread on it, it had a video of it hitting a ball around a room with a paddle, playing baseball, etc.  So kinda it's a good idea of what you could get with next gen to go along with frybreads question.

Why is it so hard to understand that cutting edge graphics and physics and AI are important to a lot of people? Or that some people just want a conventional controller with the Dual Analogs?

Give up the crusade. Some people just don't enjoy the experiences on the Wii after the novelty of Wii Sports wears off. I don't begrudge anyone that, and I wouldn't waste my time trying to change anybody's mind. Exhibit A in this discussion should be how badly SIXAXIS and games built around it were received, and how quick Sony was to backpeddle from it.

Nintendo can have their Blue Ocean, somebody still needs to cater to the core.

I'd be too busy having sex with my robot to care.



This is my worst fear, and one of the reasons I hate the Wii. I had a Wii and sold it because I just didn't enjoy the games, didn't like the control scheme and graphics. It sat on my desk unplugged for months, so I sold it to a friend.

I think Microsoft and Sony will be releasing motion controllers this year. We know they are working on them, and they are both desperate to capture the Wii market.



Depends on what the graphics for the systems is like and if the consoles come with a regular controller or not.

Otherwise my reaction would be: "God damnit!"

*turns to elitist PC gaming*



 

I´ll thank god my PS3 is working and I´ll wait too see what kind of market they´ll supply games for.
Btw, does the Holo tv supports a PS3?

I don't own a Wii because almost every game is something "anyone can play" which in many cases means that it is simply, shallow, easy, etc... When I buy a system I don't want things like Wii Sports although I would like to see core titles that aren't simply sequels in franchises that I grew tired of years ago. Furthermore, I'm not the biggest fan of the Wii-Mote, I enjoy using traditional controls and I fail to see what's wrong with playing games the old fashioned way. If Sony takes the same direction in the next generation that Nintendo took in this one then I would likely count myself as a PC gamer again. That being said, I like the idea of an affordable, minimally upgraded system. I would prefer that to an expensive attempt at a multimedia center/PC/console hybrid.

Don't worry he works at gamestop, he doesn't know that no means. hes used to forcing his opinion on people

@ OP: I would buy it if it had the same third party support that the HD consoles have right now, though i'm not a fan of motion controls, it's about the games, not the consoles.

Imagine the year is 2011.

You drive home from work in your 2012 Honda Accord. I know it's only 2011, but the 2012 models are already out.

You turn on your HOLO-TV and the newscaster, beamed into your living room states, "The Xbox 720 and Sony PS4 were announced at the Cannes Game Festival today. Both feature motion controls, small size, minimal graphic upgrades, and come packed with a collection of fun games anyone can play. They will both compete at retail for $199"

What is your initial reaction?

What I would really care about - The fact that I'm driving a Honda Accord... because I can't see that ever happening LOL.

What I would have mixed feelings about - The HOLO-TV... for some reason I think I'd prefer a TV screen that takes up the whole wall of my Living Room as appose to a 3D one :)

What I would not care about - What Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft do next gen.  I'll do what I do every generation... buy the console that has the games I like on it as my primary machine regardless of namebrand... and later, buy the other two systems when they get cheaper to play a few exclusives.  However, if the motion controls are done poorly or forced into every game, then I'd jump ship and go back to PC gaming or just stick with the existing gen PS360Wii.  

 



Stick to PC gaming, buy a PS4 when the next Team ICO game comes out, and probably buy one of the others at the end of the generation when I can pick up the games for $10.

Actually, odds are I'd buy all three at launch, but still be primarily a PC gamer.



First thought:
Man, I hope the motion controls actually work this time, instead of that flash-in-a-pan system Wii that's selling for $15 at flea markets now.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
