Forums - Nintendo - A Nintendo Wii At 250 Gives As Much Value As A 360 Elite/Ps3 At 300.

How does that devalue them?



Around the Network

When 2 Systems Share 90% Of The Same Games, Thats Pretty Devalue-ing. There Really Is No Need For One If You Have The Other As Far As Gaming Goes. The Wii Is The Only Unique Console On The Market.

Why should it matter if two consoles share games? The Wii has gimmicky controls and no games I want to play.

I Seriously Doubt You Have Put Any Real Effort Into Finding Any Games That You Would Like To Play On Wii. As Big A Fan I Am Of My Wii, I Still Love My Ps360. There Is Good In Every Console If You Were Willing To Look.



theres no point in comparing the wii too ps3/360....honestly i dont care how good the wii is doing or if its a unique console because it takes a different audience to play the system...ps3/360 lovers would ever switch to a wii.....but it can def. go to back and forth between 360 and ps3

to me, the wii isnt in the console war....it can def. do great and i own one for the good games but for me it def. cannot compete with my ps3

I   Don't Understand This Position At All. Why Are You Acting Those Consoles Are So Much Better Than The Wii? Isn't It Possible That There Are People Out There (Gamers) Who Prefer Their Wii Over Ps3?

Ask Anybody Who Owns All Three Consoles, And I Am Sure Many People Will Have Many Different Answers. Whether It Goes 360>Ps3>Wii, Ps3>360>Wii, Wii>Ps3>360 Or Whatever It Is. Why Do You Have To Act Like The Other Two Are So Much Better?

This Is My Thread Wherein I Show You Quality Evidence To Back Up A Claim. This Is Not A Joke Thread.

There Is This Big Thing Going On Against The 360 And Ps3 And There Are Many Arguments About Which Console Gives You More Bang For Your Buck; I Am Here To Tell You The Wii Gives Just As Much Bang; If Not More.

When I Got My Wii In November Of 2006, I Was Really Happy. You Know Why? Because I Got To Go Home And Play Zelda The First Day. If Anyone Had Offered Me A 360 Or A Ps3 Slim At That Time, I Would Have Kindly Told Them To Fuck Off.

No Matter What, Microsoft Or Sony Were Not Able To Provide Me With A Game That I Had Been Waiting For For What Felt Like Millions Of Years. I Never Gave A Flying Monkey Innard About How Shiny The Graphics Were; It Was All About A Game I Wanted To Play. 300 Total I Spent On That, And It Was Worth It; More Worth It That If I Had Bought A 360 or Ps3.

Another Thing That Gives You An Insane Amount More Value Is That Fact Of You Can Download All The Old Metroids, Marios And Zeldas. On No Other System Can You Download Games That Take Up At Least Half Of The Top Ten Best Games Of All Times Lists. I Assure You That All These Lists Contain: Super Metroid, A Link To The Past, Mario World, Mario 64, Mario Bros, Mario 3, and Ocarina Of Time. Games That Can Only Be Found On Wii.

Hows That For Values?

man agree with ya completly my Nintendo Brother... i would tell people to go fuck them selfs if they offered me a ps3 slim, theres no way im gonna run away from Ninty and go to a company thats my imortal Enemy

Here's the problem: I don't want to play Metroid. I don't want to play Mario. I don't want to play Zelda.

I want to play Halo, Mass Effect, Call of Duty, and Forza Motorsport. Last I checked, you can't play those on the Wii.

what??? Stop right there, you said call of duty.. yes you can play call of duty on your wii dumb ass



Once again someone has to point out that games are subjective for the simple reason that we all have different tastes...this is a moot point.

value is derived from how much the console can do in comparison to how much it cost, with this respect the PS3 is king with the 360 closely behind, while the wii is a distant 3rd.

The wii is currently $50 cheaper in comparison to the PS3/360, but you lose 3/4 the functionality of it's competition, in other words, you pay $250 and you essentially get just a games machine only, but for $50 more for the PS3/360 not only do you get a games machine but you add 3/4 the functionality with such things as HD graphics, DVD/Divx playback (PS3 Blu-ray playback), standard 120GB hard drive (360 Elite), easy to use and functioning online with a wide rage of games that support it and other services...for $50 more the PS3/360 just gives you the greatest value but at the same time it points out the ripp of that the wii actually is at it's current price point, which is why I suppose there are those wii price drop rumours but that's another matter.

Now at the end of the day, we buy console machines for the games and the franchises we like, and if it comes to being ripped off, then we'll get ripped off of our own accord so that we can play the games we like, but having said that, the ideal world would be to have a great value console that does it all at a reasonable price plus allowing us to play the games we love...but depending what type of games you like you either are living in the ideal world or not.

I my self am living in that ideal world, I have a HDTV, PS3, have a Divx collection on my portable HDD which i use my PS3 to watch them, watch blu-ray movies, and to boot the console of my choice has all the franchises and games I like, and they are all Sony exclusives, essentially I use all the PS3 has to offer me, and yes I know that other PS3 owners may not be like me but I speak only for my self.

Really in regards to games I am no different to you, you got the wii to play Zelda, I got the PS3 to play God of war 3, Uncharted, and Ratchet and clank....the only differences is that my console allows me to enjoy other things apart from gaming depending on my mood and yours doesn't, that's it.

my 2 cents.

im not saying the other two are much better, im saying they take away a different audience, there is no denying that most of wii owners are under 12 and over 50....they bring in a new type of gamer....i have seen wii games that are literally only about babies >_>....and since wii fit plus/wii sports resorts are the best selling games that further proves my point....the ps3/360 arent so much better, but the wii takes a diff. audience of gaming
