Why I think Wii > Xbox 360, PC

I never owned a PS3 so I can't say what I think about it.

But having now played extensively Wii, Xbox 360, and the PC that I built, I can really say Wii is best.

It's simply because of the games. Many of you may think that the games on Wii don't interest you, but that's what I thought for the majority of them as well when I had Wii. But I tried them and tried to like them because it was the only console I had at the time, and I discovered some of the best games I have ever played.

Wii has great motion controls (provided you have a good set-up and play the right games in the right way) however it may not be the most intuitive system or as accurate as people have thought pre-motionPlus. Still it has delivered amazing experiences.

I tried the same on 360 and yes there are GREAT games such as Halo 3 (very over-hated in my opinion, has amazing multiplayer) and of course multiplatform games. But the games simply do not compare to what Wii has imo.

I decided I would try out PC gaming so I learned about computer parts and made the cheapest computer that would perform well. I will admit I dont play some of the older PC games, but I mean, how fair is it to compare a system that has a whole library of games from past generations? There are too many unoriginal games for the computer, too many FPS games, RTS and what-not for me.

So my question to you is: Based on consoles you've owned and played extensively on which is your favourite system?

You must say which consoles you've played and what one is your favourite out of them and why.

Love mah PS3 because of it's exclusives and overall it's a great entertainment system.

[spoiler] It's also the only current gen console I have right now. =3 [/spoiler]

Too many unoriginal games on PC. :lol:DragonfireXZ95

There us no reason why thinking the Wii is the best is wrong. Its just those reasons are quite poor.

Wii

I don't have or want a PS3, but PC and 360 give me a "been there, done that" sort of feeling. The games available on them today, don't seem all that different to games I was playing almost 10 years ago. Aside from BioWare games, and a new Halo or Gears every three years, I have no drive to play on either platform. With Wii, I know I'm going to get a unique experience, and Nintendo games in general just feel like they have more heart to me.

Wii has like 5 or 6 good games and the 360 has WAY more and the PC does as well

I own them all

• I prefer the 360 (best multiplats, Mass Effect FTW)
• Love the PS3 (free online, Blu Ray, best exclusives)
• Enjoy my PC (for two or three classics)

I do not like the Wii, I am sorry :cry:

No, its fine but if that's all you wanted to say what is there to discuss? You basically just said you like it because you like the games and the controller more. That's fine but what is there in there to be discussed?

As someone who has played a wii extensively over the course of a week, I disagree. The quality of the wiimote leaves a lot to be desired, at least without the motion+ addon.

pc can use wii mote and eventually will get all the wii games.ferret-gamer

I'm Wii only who still thinks the other systems are better overall. Just not for me. Its a fine system with a different flavour is all, lots of people arouund here don't appreciate that. So be it.

Is this a joke? You must be a pretty casual gamer than if you like Wii better than the 360 and PC. The 360/PC library including multiplats that it shares with the PS3 totally destroy anything on the Wii. I am talking about: (off the top of my head)

- GTA

- Halo

- Mass Effect

- Left for Dead

- Fallout

- ES IV: Oblivion

- FFXIII

- Bad Company 2

- Call of Duty

- Forza

- Crysis

- Stalker

Upcoming games:

- Alan Wake

- Splintercell

- Starcraft 2

- Diablo 3

- Halo Reach

- Red Dead Redemption

How can the Wii alone be better than these games?

Just wii sports and cabela's dangerous hunts or whatever it's called. What left a particularly bad taste in my mouth was the boxing game.

To be honest if I said remove anything with shooting a gun this is what you're left with (being modest too)

- ES IV: Oblivion

- Diablo 3

- Forza

- FFXIII

Honestly, that isn't a hard list for the Wii to overcome. Even if I dodn't make excuses that list still isn't anything too beyond what the Wii has and its very linearly focused on one demographic too.

What's wrong with shooting a gun? Than let's not count Metriod on the Wii either since you have a gun in that as well.

Cool story, bro. I have 17 360 games and almost 70 PC games, and all I can say is that Galaxy and Metroid Prime Trilogy alone have provided me more fun than any game I've played on any other platform this gen.

If I don't want to shoot things because it does not hold my attention, I basically get 4 games from your list. Nothing wrong with shooting things, just that you picked a shallow boring list of good games is all. Could have used more variety. But meh, not counting Metroid (which I forgot about) doesn't really diminsh my point.

My pc has more power than 10 wiis, END OF FREAKING STORY!

ps It also has better games.

You ignored the last part " of good games". Still doesn't stop the list from being cookie cutter, boring, shallow and one mind tracked. Sorry. Being good isn't really enough tbh. There are many games you could use to flesh out that list. You just picked bad is all.

I have PSP, DS, PS2, PS3 and 360 which I all still play. I would say theone gets the most time is the 360 for now. But it is likely to change. Since it is all based on what games I own and since I am mostly playing a couple on the 360 it is what gets fired up.

Well that's just your opinion...games like Fallout, GTA. Half Life, BioShock, Mass Effect are not boring to me. But do you still think that the Wii has a better library than the 360 and PC?

Yes it is. I still don't think its hard to see why that list is boringly composed though. I am not attacking the games, just that its a really stale way to show off a library but anyway . . . . .

As for the Wii, hell no, PC and 360 kick its ass in games. Not games I personally like but in general yes.

I find the wii to be boring.

For me, the Wii provides a multitude of gaming experiences. It's the go-to console for your fix of almost any genre that isn't crazily populated by the other consoles.

1. Mario -- Platformer
2. Zelda -- Action/Adventure
3. Metroid -- First Person Adventure
4. Super Smash Bros -- 4 player fighter
5. Mario Kart -- Kart Racer
6. Little King's Story -- RTS/RPG/Action/Adventure
7. Zack & Wiki -- Adventure
8. Endless Ocean -- Scubadiving
9. Trama Center -- Surgery Puzzle Game
10. No More Heroes -- 3rd Person Action
11. Red Steel 2 -- First Person Shooter/Slasher -- FPSS?

There are more, with even more obscure genres, but these are the ones I own. :)

i own a dsi -curse you nintendo i was gonna get dsixl , now i ll get a 3ds instead

ps3

psp-needs to be replaceb ut 3ds is coming so ill wait till i find one dirt cheap

ps2

xbox360

ps1 nes snes n64 gc gbc gba gba sp gbm gg genesis w scd saturn dc 2600 and an xbox ,

as well as wii

so ya i like my wii more as do i like ds more then psp , im hyped for 3ds, , , , gonna wipe the floor with ps3 3d hahahah

not only will it be cheaper , it will be portable , haahaha

there aren't many good wii games that properly use the motion controls. and since i like multiplayer and shooters, wii only would give metheconduit. i'd take cod, halo, killzone, and even resistance (hate that game) over it.

besides mario, zelda, metroid, and smash bros. (the same big franchises that they use every gen) the library kind of stinks. a few diamonds in the rough, sure, but at leastthe other consoles don't soley rely on 1st party to get the job done.

this nothing wrong with your opinion but coming here to express is not a good idea this is liked raped with power hungry males that love flashy visuals and high development value

i respect your opinion but i completely disagree. ill take a couple 360 games(GTA4, Halo 3, Mass Effect 2)over the entire wii library.

to answer your question, i've played all the consoles a good amount and the ps3 is easily my favorite. i dont think i need to say why. it only does everything. lol

I count 5 mario games and 1 semi mario game. And only 3 AAA's.

It seems to me it's your tastes in games that dictate what system to get. It's the same with me. I like flight sims and other simulators in addition to the regular genres. Quite frankly, none of the consoles have the simulators I like. That means it's the pc for me. That said, we do have a Wii and PS3 at home (plus GC and PS2).
