At work, I have a few colleagues who game, and they all have a PS3. Well, they love it but they still spend all their time on WoW... And when they actually buy and play PS3 games, it's CoD, Uncharted 2, Assassin's Creed, and I'm pretty sure their next game will be GT5. Last time we talked about videogames, they where mocking the Wii ("graphics suck", "the games are stupid", "the GPU can't display blood"). I told them about Muramasa, Madworld, HotD Overkill, they didn't know any of these games. I mentioned RE4 Wii, they didn't even know about this one... Actually all they knew was Wii Sports, Raving Rabbids, Wii Fit and Mario Kart.

I'm sure your friends are pretty nice guys, but isn't this somewhat very hypocritical of them?

I played WoW come launch day. Even back then WoW was the graphicaly inferior game compared to EQ2. Though many preferred WoW art style over EQ2 technical prowess. Since then WoW has had minimal graphical increases.http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/faq/technology.html  seriously look at them. In the days of 512-1gb graphics cards they recommend 128mb. Since launch we have seen Age of Conan, Warhammer Online, Ryzom, Tabula Rasa, Vanguard, and many more which are noticibly technicly superior to WoW.

Then theres the fact that Blizzard and Nintendo are near indistinguishable in their business practice. Both companies polish their games, both use supportive products(Pokemon CCG/cartoon/stuff, WoW CCG/RPG/Miniatures..). Both have in house experimental design departments. Both are interested in mass appeal. It's known that Blizzard believes that easy to learn difficult to master has been key to their games. Blizzard chooses lower tech to appeal to the masses. yeesh, Blizzard == Nintendo for PC.

I'm sure they are great guys, but this sounds like that words of a bandwagon than people who think for themselves :\



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

So the OP must mean that PS3 owners aren't gamers either, considering Wii has a higher attach rate than the PS3 and the gap is growing every week.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

This is bs, is it so hard to believe there is people out there who can go to a store, and pick Wii Sports Resort over Zelda Twilight Princess .___., is there anyone capable of comparing any Nintendo game with a third party game THIS generation, and i don´t mean just on the wii, just having a glimpse at the hc consoles i can only see a bunch of sequels, shooters and hack n slash copycats



Nintendo is the best videogames company ever!

Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

seems to me that everytime theres some negative wii news by the media, some closet wii hater comes up with a thread saying how they hate the wii in different ways.

We have all the consoles in our house and it's the PS3 that hardly gets used, especially since I got a dedicated Blu-ray player for movies.

Silent Hill shattered memories is the 1st game I've played on wii that screams core gamer,it's awsome and makes excellent use of the wii mote,please devs make more games like this,I admit alot of wii games are cookie cutter,but some are just plain fun,Mario Galaxy is definetly a core game for platformer enthusiast,and whil I dont consider Zelda TP a true wii game,(cause it was developed for and I purchased it fo GCN)I can't wait to see what the next zelda game is like,nintendo has its odds and ends,but all in all with each nintendo console you know your gonna get Zelda and some other core games,and that to me is worth the price of entry.
