Nice post gbz.

But

who thinks wii will magicly do graphics as good as PS3 LOL.
or who says graphics dont matter.
the people who thinks online does not matter.
then those that think mature games are evil and a shooters cant be good.

All wii owners, biggest fanboys of this generation. Truely delusional people living in a fantasy world.

Wii fanboys value statistic sure, that is untill GTA or GT sales are mentioned then its back to their lala land way of thinking.

hehe... wow I'm amazed you managed to say so much yet fill a post with complete, one hundred percent, no exception, rubbish.

I don't see how thinking graphics and online don't matter could possibly be related to nutjobs who believe mature games are evil. This must be part of that "Nintendo fans are all kiddies" mentality that you are using to justify your hatred of the Wii.

Of course, since you believe Wii fanboys are delusional and living in "lala land" then I suppose I'll be wasting my time addressing the rest of your "points" as you're just going to ignore them anyway.


Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

LOL thread has gone seriously funny.

Those points are kinda true whats its like to read posts by wii owners.

There have been plenty threads trying to justify wiis inferior graphics, with some nut jobs saying wii secret unfinished power will be some how unlocked. While most other times its the typical graphics don't matter its all about waggle controls whatnot.

And yahh many wii owners always whine and bitch oh its another violent shooter, shooters cant be good a shooter cant be innovative. How M rated games are never mature they are just violence and other bs crap like that.

Way way back in 1991, I got a SNES for Christmas. The graphics were amazing. My mom and my sisters were casual gamers as well. I was having a video game orgasm when my mom said "This is what I spent $200 on? It looks the same". I tried to point out the colors, the audio, the animation, etc. but nobody could see it.

In April 2001, I got a PS2. ZOE was incredible. The Bouncer was lame, but it sure looked pretty. The plastic skin on the characters was pretty much photo realistic to me. My girlfriend's opinion: Why did you spend $400.00 when you already had a video game system. She couldn't see it either. The super realistic water and particles looked no better than Donkey Kong 64 to her.

2007. I'm playing Resident Evil 4 Gamecube. My friends came over, so we switch to Gears of war. I'm trying to wow them with my new HDTV set up, and the best looking game ever. Would you believe hardly anyone could tell my $400.00 360 was displaying graphics light years beyond my 5 year old purple lunch box?

In short, graphics matter to real gamers. The general public can't see it. They don't care. 1080p. Blu-ray. Wi-fi. All that matters in the end was what game we were playing, and if it was fun. That's why Nintendo got it right. PS3 and 360 are better systems. In the eyes of the non-forum dwelling general public, it doesn't even matter.

DS a fad = true

The DS is really nothing special. The only reason it has killed the PSP is becasue Sony rolled over and died on that system. With the new model coming out and I cross my fingers, a download service to back it, their is a chance Sony could swing the momentum around. With games like FF and GoW coming the PSP is looking strong, and if we could onl;y get GT added to that list we could be looking at a PSP resurgance next year.

Wow. Just wow. KBG, there is no way I can respect your opinions anymore. The DS has sold nearly 50 million hardware units. If you honestly think the DS is a fad after 50 million units, holding over 65% market share, you are simply delusional.
Now look at this imaginary numbers(bear with me)
wii2- 5 mil
xbox???- 2.5mil
ds2-10 mil
psp2- 4.9mil
ps3- 42mil

doesnt the ps3 look pretty good right now?

No, it looks outdated now.

If your figures made any sense, then the GCN should have gotten wave after wave of impressive titles when the 360 and eventually the PS3 came out.

 

And I have to say, I'm honestly waiting for the point Hus makes a statement just barely in the "definitely an asshole" realm so he can be officially warned and/or banned.  I have no problem with people who disagree with me, or say that the Wii isn't as good as people make it out to be.  What I have a problem with is snarky jackasses like Hus who think their shit don't stink and assume they can say whatever they please without repercussions. 



PS3: 5.51m/51w, avg 108,039/w (up 239)
360: 12.93m/102w, avg 126,764/w (up 625), leads PS3 by 7.42m (up 70k), avg lead 18,725/w (up 386)

At +0% it will pass it in 358w, the week ending September 19th, 2014, at an age of 409w (7y44w).

ummm... no offense but you must have really slow friends.. or atleast theyre really non observant.
my experience happened with my grandma and my dad. just to let you know my family are big boxing fans.
i was playing fight night when my grandma and my dad walked in. then they just stared at the screen....
5 secs later they said "i didnt know Pacquiao had a match today" then they sat behind me and started watching..
i couldnt stop myself from laughing cause they were cheering so hard.. =D
after awhile i felt really awkward i paused the game and started heading to the bathroom, they asked "whyd it stop? what happened?" then i told them it was a game ^^...... then they left.

Well yeah, they are pretty stupid. If they were smart, I'd be found out for the idiot that I am ;). They still represent the majority though. Heck, Madden 2001 on the PS2 could fool people for a couple seconds...at least that's what the magazines were saying back then.

This thread has gone appalling since when i left it anyway.

PSP overtaking DS well not impossible but 4years into the life cycle of them it would have already happened unless the PSP has some massive hits left this probably wont happen.
PS3 overtaking X360 this is going to happen late next year(Holiday08) the PS3 will probably be $399 by then and sales will be much better and the game library will look good(Resistance,GT5,MGS4,FFXIII(JPN),LBP,Killzone2, InFamous,Eight Days,Heavy Rain,UT3,HAZE,Motorstorm etc).
PS3 overtaking Wii within the year no chance, next year no chance,09/10 possibbly depends how PS3 does next year and what games are out and the price will probably be $299 by 2010 maybe lower.PS3 overtaking Wii well that i am not going to try and guess because i dont really want to flamed by WiiFanboys or PS3Fanboys i doubt they will attack one of own but you never know.

I'm hoping you mean "PSP overtaking DS", because this... doesn't make any sense otherwise.

At some point I'll crunch the numbers and add a "PS3 catching up to Wii" set to my sig, it would be an interesting stat to browse.

Those points are kinda true whats its like to read posts by wii owners.

There have been plenty threads trying to justify wiis inferior graphics, with some nut jobs saying wii secret unfinished power will be some how unlocked. While most other times its the typical graphics don't matter its all about waggle controls whatnot.

And yahh many wii owners always whine and bitch oh its another violent shooter, shooters cant be good a shooter cant be innovative. How M rated games are never mature they are just violence and other bs crap like that.


 If your so 'mature' then maybe you would like to show it in your posts. -.-

 Now even though this post doesnt deserve it I will pull it apart and reply to it.

 1. I have never seen anybody claim the Wii has 'secret powers' that will allow it to have better graphics, or even close to equal graphics, as the PS3 and 360. Link me to some posts please?

2. Have you ever considered that some people may actually not care that much about graphics? That they arent just saying it to falsely defend their console?
Personally I  think better graphics would be a definate improvement on the Wii but as it stands I care more about the gameplay and the price than I do about the graphics which is why I prefer the Wii.

3. Shooters can be innovative, its just that they rarely are. Bioshock seems to be a good example of an innovative shooter, R:FoM seems to be an example of one that isnt.  Just because its a shooter or violent or a M game doesnt make it uninspired or unoriginal, its merely the fact that quite often they are.
The same can be said about most sports, racing and role playing games.
