First off, don't argue it- the Wii really doesn't have tons of great games like the 360 and PS3. As a Nintendo fanboy, it really makes me angry. When I walk into GameStop, Best Buy, etc, it really pisses me off to see 90% of the stuff is shovelware and crap. Firstly, let me just answer to the bolded area. As a fellow Nintendo fan like you, i must disagree to an extent with what you just said there. No, i am not going to jump up and say the Wii has just as many killer AAA titles as the PS3 and X360, because i really cannot say that it does. However, it does have a giant, yes, i used the word giant, number of good, fun games in it's library, that are worth buying, or at least worth renting or trying out. Part of the problem is that nobody even bothers to look for them, i could sit here for ages naming good games for the Wii.
Haters don't want to look for games that they could possibly enjoy. They just see the shovelware and spit at it. When a good game does show up, all they do is look at the cons and use whatever bad things they've read around the net as a building block as to why the game is actually bad and not worth buying.
Secondly. This hatred toward the Wii and DS consoles will not stop, it just wont, and it is because the company's name is Nintendo. The fact that both consoles are underpowered is a big spot to poke at, but of course the main reason for the Wii's assault are the motion controls. A lot of people have not even given it a proper chance, and wright it off as some useless gimmick. While its not perfect, its better than people actually give it credit for, and some haters seem to forget that, hi, the Wii has support for Classic/Gamecube controller as well.
A lot of these haters also like to believe that because their games run on superior hardware, somehow it is automatically of higher quality and just plain better. Heavens knows how this works out, but its logic to them. They also love to throw around how Nintendo simply "milks" and "rehashes" their franchises, yet they jump for joy when a sequel to Final Fantasy or whatever their favorite franchise is gets announced.
It really matters not what Nintendo does. They will be hated, always. Hell, even some people in this very thread are spouting mindless bullshit.
You wanna know the reason? It's not easy to create a great games using motion control. Got news for you buddy, the Wii isn't reliant on motion control. Its just a feature.
I started to hate it since I had to change batterys on 2 days, it looked crappy on my Hd-tv Wow. Just wow... ladies and gentleman, i give you the so called "average" gamer.
I may come off as an asshole for saying this, but i'm really in an angry, venting mood. It really is jaw dropping how such dense people can even turn on a console, let alone develop fair, unbiased opinions on specific aspects of the gaming world. Especially when it's involving the games themselves.
Thirdly. I don't know how some of these people were raised, i really don't. Everyone has their own taste, style, thoughts. Not everyone is going to like what you like. Obviously. But what i really, to this day, still do not understand is why some people feel the need to scream and shout it to the world. Ok, we get it, you don't like Mario, or Zelda, or upcoming Wii game for whatever reason, fair enough, i'm not going to judge you for it. So why must you come to every thread, every discussion, and repeat this. What's the matter with you? Do you want attention that bad? Or are you really just a twat?
I'm probably wrong about this, but i'm going to speak from experience here. Nintendo fans are some of the most rational, open minded, smart, calm and cool people i have ever met, spoke to, and befriended. They're usually very kind, bright and down to earth. Now i'm not saying they're all like this, but Sony (and to a lesser extent, Microsoft) fans on the other hand are usually cold, harsh, rude, on a lot of occasions stupid, and just plain ignorant. Again, i stress that most Sony fans are not like this, i'm probably not looking hard enough for the good ones. But this is the general gist i have gotten from my time spent on gaming sites and those i have met in real life too. If you don't like Nintendo or Microsoft or whatever, that's fine. If you want to hate things for mostly no reason at all, IE "Mario has no story so its crap!!" then you're a twat. Why, i ask why you feel the need to constantly, CONSTANTLY shout to the stars how much you hate it, why must you target every thread and say the same things over and over again. You call yourself a gamer? Instead of being an ignorant fool, ignoring facts most of the time and screaming lie after lie, how about you actually play your games. There are a lot of great games out there, so go play them, instead of moaning about the ones you don't like. Or are you that much of a loser? Jesus titty fucking mother of chicken christ. It really is a wonder how some people actually make it out of their bed in the morning.
EDIT: Oh, and Phoenix. You are not a Nintendo "fanboy". You are simply an avid fan of Nintendo. You are aware of the Wii's problems and do not blindly cite it as a superior overall machine to the PS3 and X360. Simply owning a Wii or Nintendo consoles and having a taste for Nintendo games does not make you a "fanboy".
If you are a fanboy, you automatically only like one console, you hate the other two for no rational reason and you make this as clear as possible at every given oppertunity. That is a fanboy. You are not this ;)
