The Wiiis the only true new console.

The PS3 controller negates everything about it. It is PS2 all over again with new graphics.

The 360 is great, and the new controller is better than the Xbox1 version, but the library has minimal variety. Games like Wheelman, Wanted, Riddick, The Darkness(not all exclusive) feel like the exact same stuff I was playing last-gen.

Stuff on the Wii is very unique, and you can't find stuff like that on any other console.

The bolded are the parts I agree with wholeheatedly.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

=p If the Wii is really the only true console this generation then why do you have to post so much on the forums and don't play the only true console much?

If you like HD gaming so much, then why bother listening to music, watching TV and posting here when you could be playing HD games.

Free time is there to do what we want with it.

Yeah, HD consoles are becoming pretty much PC lites.

3 out of the top 5 selling Wii games last week are exercise simulators. If this is what you call true gaming then I think I'll stick with my fake consoles, thanks :P

I agree. PS3 and 360 are basically PC's. The best thing about consoles are no software or hardware installations.

That just leaves the Wii as the only console.

u know all games require installation?

killzone 2 doesn't.

LBP is a few MB same for resistance.

That's definitely a good decision for people like you who get lapped in Mario Kart Wii.


Lol, OWNED. What are the Top 5 PS3 games? 360 games? Take out the ones with a number in it.

Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

"While Microsoft and Sony attempt to eliminate all differences between a console and PC with the exception of the keyboard and desk, Nintendo is striving to create a gulf of difference between the two of them. The Wii is splitting the console industry straight down. As motion controls get better, the games become more interesting and different than what can be experienced on the old generation machines such as Xbox 360 and PS3. The line that separates the Wii and HD Twins will turn into a gorge and then a canyon. More and more people will become used to the motion controls of the Wii and find the lack of them ‘wrong’ on the other consoles. Microsoft and Sony will be stuck in a shrinking box." (Malstrom on E3 2009)

Malstrom is a fool. A contemptuous fool at that. He doesn't understand what motivates people who play on HD systems and assumes that the values he holds translate to everyone else. The market is currently split 50/50 between the "one true" console and the "PC" consoles, there is room enough for both. Noone is being "toppled over".
