Hm, this has actually been quite an interesting thread so far. Good job, Khuutra.

Does PC count? If so when is the cut off?

If not:
Wii, the only true console that sticks to a console's advantages and doesn't half-ass what shouldn't be on a console to begin with. Also Wii Sports is an aphrodisiac, I swear.

i'm curious, what's the console's advantage.

Platformers and games with platforming elements, fighting, plug-and-play (bug free, no patching/installs), easy fun for several people at once, and a few others.

What is NOT an advantage is online, shooters, strategy, and some types of RPGs that are not action-y.

for my taste PS3 >= 360 > PSP (birth by sleep, dissidia, agito, crisis core, god of war and patapon) > DS (tons of rpg) > Wii

This is very true.  I brought my Wii over to a girl's house.  Wasn't even dating her or anything.  Just hanging out.

Married her in less than a month.

Not just the Wii. Remember, Khuutra was saying that LBP is great with foreplayers.

Why not just throw in a "Must not have the words Play or Box in the consoles name" rule also?  For example a PS1 game sold on the PSN counts but not the very same actual PS1 game that will play on the PS3 anyway?  What sort of broken logic is that.

Anyway, using these broken rules I'll say PS3 since the first party games don't stay full price for 3 years, it actually had consistant good quality third party support and the Wii's VC is filled with pricing for a mug.

I don't follow. Plenty of people - a majority, I believe - have chosen one of the HD twins under these guidelines of consideration. Hell, you did.

I understand the Wii has the platformers, but have you seen the XBL games? anayway, what fighting games does the Wii have over the HD consoles.

The PS3 has that install thing, the 360 is pretty good with that, and Live brings more people together than the Wii.

All right, now this one is for Carl and Outlawauron both:

What would make these high-selling games (like Carnival Games) "trash"?

Because after playing it for 5 minutes i felt embarassed to actually be playing it. The novelty of it wears off in about 2 minutes.

Wii "minigames" are supposed to be fun. This isn't. My sister actually cried that she got this for her Birthday.

Therefore, imo it is trash.

But you acknowledge, of course, that it will not be trash for some of its players - many of whom may number it among their favorite games.

But I've never heard of a similar story with LBP.

I remember a thread a while ago and the Wii was proven to get the most people (on VGC) laid.

Oh ffs! I practically explained the joke there!

Four players

Foreplayers

God, I hate people >_>
