Probably the lack of high quality and consistant third party support, the lack of HD visuals, motion controls and a terrible online system compared to Sony/MS.


I will make note of the "high quality and consistant" remark because I know someone will list off a few games and think that handful compares to the crapload that PS3/360 get. They do not.

I agree with that statement, but that is mostly the fault of the third parties at large.  Nintendo did their part by creating a system with a large userbase, and won this generation with the entire deck stacked against them.  Third parties responded by treating the Wii as a shovelware dumping ground.

As for the non-HDness of the Wii, graphical quality is a means to an end, not an end unto itself.  I agree that the rest can be seen as negatives.

I don't think Wii hate is dominated by any particular reason. Everyone is different.



I LOVE ICELAND!

I could never hate Nintendo cause I grew up with their games, but I'm not happy about their whole philosophy with the Wii.

Most don't care about internet, so its pointless, third party support is the concern of the third party devs not nintendo, HD is uneccessary for most, and therefore pointless, Motion controls are being adopted by Sony and MS in response

Well the last gen, everyone who is not a Nintendo Fans, hated the Gamecube for some freaking reason that i dont remenber right now(something like Wind Waker is not like Ocarina, and stuff like that).

So i would go with: both...some people hate Nintendo and the Success of the Wii, and some others, just hate the Wii, because it is successful.

There is another group who actually just dont like the wii because is not their taste for gaming, and i respect that.

I would say most people don't like the Wii because it doesn't fit their gaming needs. The people who hate the Wii only hate it because Rolstoppable lapped them.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

They hate it because they are stupid and unintelligent. Anyone hating something plastic really needs to get a life.

Personally, I have more than enough games to play on Wii. I think, in the coming up for three years I have owned the console, I have had at least 2 games a month to play and enjoy. If people aren't satisfied with that so be it.
