hating a console is fanatic. Many peoples are fanatic and are jealous of other peoples having fun with their console.

I don't hate the Wii. I just have a very strong disagreement with some of those that try to say a few of its games are among the best ever when most of those particular games (only talking about 3 or 4 of the Wii's games here) have very average review scores but are really only considered to be so special by Nintendo fans because they did have a great deal to do with the success of the Wii but those particular Wii fans want to act like their among the best games of all time which they aren't.  It's like they have to religiously have to praise those games.

If the Wii was only selling as well as the Gamecube, no one would be singing the praises of these games.



Because I don't like the games that much. I like Mario and such, but all the party games/shovelware could just go away.

I thought you had learned that making alt accounts would get you banned.

Is it because the Wii is the #1 console this generation and that it will win the console war?

No wat win the war wat r u talking about ps3 will win it

Is it because the Wii doesn't have as much as a good hardcore fanbase as the N64 did?

yes and snes and nes those systems were fine for me wen i was younger gaming on them but nintendo has failed to age with me

Besides Mario and Zelda, Is it because Nintendo has seem to abandon the rest of their best IPs like Star Fox or F-Zero?

not reallt they fail to come up with new mature IPs like sony and MS have done with MGS HALO GEARS UNCHARTED

Could somebody explain to me? OK i also dont like the name Wii wat is that it sounds like Wee wee look at the little Wee wee thats not something i can be proud of owning were its DVD play back function

I am so confused and I need an answer. Dont worry bout an answer y dont u go do ur show

 

 

 

In what way will PS3 win the "war" (lol, war X_X)? Definitely not in sales since that's what we're talking about.

Also, you have to be proud of a console's name? WTH? The wee wee jokes are so 2005. How many people in real life, honestly, get made fun of because they own a Wii? :3

Wait and u shall see it aint over till its over

i never said that u had to be proud of ur consoles name  but u should its just another reason y i and others hate it, i also included  lack of the simple function to play a 10yr old media, i could make a list a things that would make people hate it but ill keep it to myself

i just saw ur profile and age so i quess u wont have the same views as me but i can understand ur love for the Wii at ur age

People always support the underdog. At the start of the gen Wii was the underdog and there were new articles every single day praising it. Well 2 years plus later and Wii is far from the underdog. It's the big bully in town kicking the hell out of the little guys PS360. Well people don't like that.

Then there are those who fear that Wii will result in developers not making their HD FPS anymore.

Hey...that sounds what literally everybody else does!

Which games are you talking about?

     I'm talking about Wii Sports, Wii Play, Wii Fit, Wii Music, and Mario Kart Wii.  Those games have much lower Metacritic scores than most of the games that everybody else praises:  MGS4, No  More Heroes, GTA IV, Gears of War, Bioshock, Halo 3, Fallout 3.

PS3 isn't going to get close in terms of Wii sales...

Anyway, if you already have a DVD player (heck I have two) why would you want another one? :3

I don't get the "at ur age" part...it's not like older people don't buy the Wii. And I don't particularly like games like Wii Sports or whatever...I like Zelda and RPGs and such. The type of games people with HD consoles would like too.

 

well every1 can have there opinion

the fact that it lacks a simple feature that both HDs can do makes people think its weak

i dont know wat the console to age ratio is for each console but i dont think the wii holds a good record for people in there 25-35 age range and as u get in that age range ur anger level and hate level towards things is greatly increased than wen ur in ur happy go lucky age of 10-20
