I Have been looking to use this all day:

Anyway, got one, wish I didn't. X360/PC/psp/ds for me! (only added DS because I want some more games, but I don't have them right now)

@Groucho: A lot of the threads insist that they are competing with each other, because they are. Not competing would mean that Sony and M$ would be running away to give Nintendo a free pass to their (previous) market and that's what Nintendo is after; to push the competition into so small space that they are irrelevant. Of course, Wii has built its success on different audience than PS360 and these two footholds don't really compete in traditional sense.

That's an interesting perspective.  I actually agree, to an extent, although I don't think Nintendo is thinking in competitive terms -- MS and Sony are, and that's what's given Nintendo the open field to break loose upon.

I did the same thing, and I think this is one of the best posts in this thread. 

I agree that I'm more likely to play FPS on my PS3 than Wii because of the graphics and usually better gameplay options.  Perhaps the wii motion + will make FPS controls even better and we'll finally see a great game in that genre for wii (I know many like MP3 and MoH:H2 but I didn't).  There are just too many advantages for HD consoles in that genre, however.  I used to be a keyboard/mouse whore, too.  Now, if every PS3 FPS supported that like UT3 did, then we'd have the perfect union, imo...

TC wrong site to be asking this question, thought it was a well known fact this site was wii fanboy central

but moving on

no i will not get a wii, i think its stupid, a waste of money and has nothing other then Monster hunters 3 and maybe No more heroes 2. Zelda was awesome but its so much better on the cube IMO, mario well its mario and it was awesome, super smash was dissapointing (took a big step back from melee if you ask me and melee was way overrated in the first place)

well i do have to say Nintendo doesnt care because they are making mass amounts of money but it just shows how mainstream they've become. Honestly i dont see the attraction to the system unless your at a party, but why would i just play video games at a party...? say if i wanted a video game party i'd play better games like SF (2,3 and soon to be 4) some shooters and yes of course melee NOT brawl.

So like the angry video game nerd i will shake my head at the wii in dissapointment.

Not this PS360 owner. why would I need a non-HD console with a few great games but mostly average or bad ones?

@Groucho: It's not that interesting in the sense that it's the way how disruption works. You start with the market segment that doesn't generate much profit for the incumbents and slowly move towards the core market, that has traditionally created the biggest profits.
Nintendo started with an audience that the competition wasn't interested in and now moving towards the new traditional audience, or atleast counts on 3rd parties to do so. Now that Wii has so big installbase and library that it can sustain itself, Nintendo can go pretty aggressively towards the old market. Sony and M$ can try to attack Nintendo, but due to Wiis library, they aren't likely to succeed, while Wiis 3rd party support is growing and they can push the competition in the upmarket.
Basically what happens is, that the more 3rd parties make money on Wii, the more Wii interest them and they keep on putting their games on to the platform. Eventually the "PS360 type" of titles will end up on Wii (more money->more games, more games->more money), but there's still the high-end market that Wii can't reach due to its tech.

Also notice how Reggie is talking about competing and keeps mentioning Conduit and Madworld that are stepping on the PS360 territory (it's saying to 3rd parties that this is what we want to see from you).

@shinsa: But you still could name a number of games that interest you on Wii.

Because that is not a fact as you state it.  Facts are all the consoles have great games and bad games, everything else is opinion and should be stated as much or it's trolling.

You've got to love the foolish comments about core gamers being afraid of the Wii. Personally, I may never purchase a Wii, it depends on wether or not it attracts more original games like World of Goo or Zack & Wiki. Even if it does, I still have to get a new PC, DS, Master System, Game Gear and PSP 3000 before then.
