For little kids. I ask him why the wii has more sales then, and he says that the little kids beg there mom. Then he goes on a rant and says that the wii is the worst of all three. Then i told him that most people on the Nintendo forums are the ages of 20+ but he goes all "so what, it's still a kids system. He bought a wii and says it's boring as hell. Can some of you please tell him that he's just over reacting and a possible sony/microsoft fan boy..even though he says i "likes" all systems...

well i'd say your friend sounds like a 10 year old. if he can't just be mature enough to not bash the wii...i stood in line through the night it was released and i'd say about 95% of the people were over 20. and they were buying it for themselves. you're more mature since you don't have to seek approval from your friends for everything you do. if you think it's fun then get it. i would eventually get a ps3 or 360 except i have no confidence in M$ or sony's ability to produce a console that won't break 2 years after i buy it. i've never had problems with nintendo...

people who do not know or have not played nintendo games and especially wii think that it is for kids.this thought is simply wrong because nintendo games despite their graphic look or other issues that make a game for kids in the eyes of those who have not played them have something more important.they have a gameplay that stands beyond their looks and it is mature enough for anyone to enjoy it.they are made for all ages,for anyone who want to travel to a dream and leave his reality back.art has no limits and ages and a game that lets you live another side of yourself you always wanted to be or live a dream that comes true can not be limited either by borders or from someone who can not understand or has not tried to see beyond from what a fanboy feeling can let him or what he thinks videogames are.

Some of the games on wii are geared for little kids, but that doesn't mean all are. Resident Evil 4. There are so many age group games coming out for the wii. So your friend is stupid. Enough said.

I'd like to see your friend here because I'd like to flame him so much on how I'm a 10 years old. At 10 years old, I played on SNES and Sega Genesis. IMO, they are still the best consoles ever made.

It's basically. He didn't play it at all and want to be a wannabe hardcore gamer who wants too much mature games because he thinks he's cool. I have a feeling he's not in ageto buy1 rated M game.

Sadly, I agree.

Actually, the only "sad sack casuals" are the pathetic trolls who bash consoles mindlessly instead of PLAYING the games they think are good.

i think the biggest problem with your friend is that he can't dicern between kiddy, and kid-friendly. the amount of genious of somthing is not determined by cartoony themes. lazytown is live action but kid friendly, and its kiddy. the lion king is a cartoon, its not kiddy, its kid friendly, and adults enjoy as much or more than kids.

another side to this is a stereotype set pre-school shows. from the first time big bird looked at the screen and said hi there, to the latest hand motion requested from dora the explorer interacting with your tv has been seen as childs play. but who is to say that interacting with the tv is for children? people of all ages watch tv: people of all ages play racing games at the arcade that require in-depth interaction: people of all ages play ddr at the arcade, somtimes adding unessasary flare foot button mashing: people of all ages shoot deer in buck hunt at the arcade. why not combine these arcade things with what you have in your living room?
