[QUOTE="ZIMdoom"]Why is a mod making such ridiculous threads. Does the Wii deserve high sales? COme on. It's getting high sales and while we can argue over WHY, I think it's pretty useless to argue if it deserves it. I don't think Halo deserved it's praise OR sales...but geuss what, reality is reality and it doesn't revolve around me.
Does MS deserve to be in the console business? Do any of us deserve to even play consoles? Does the ipod deserve to be a top seller? Does Windows deserve to be on PCs?
Who cares? It is.

I agree, this is a stupid thread. What does it matter if it deserves it or not? The Wii is introducing a new way of gaming. It's making the industry realize that it needs to change. It's making developers think more creatively about gaming. It's introducing the more ppl to gaming. It's breaking away from what ppl are expecting and opening new possibilities for the gaming industry. You ppl who say that it's bad for the gaming world or that Nintendo does not deserve the attention it's getting are abunch of cry babies and if you don't change then don't. There's still your 360 and PS3. Both with mind blowing graphics and been there done that gameplay. Let the "want to try something new" crowd alone and stop with these silly threads. The IS OWNING in sales and attention there is NOTHING you can do about....well except complain about it here. If your referring to me I'd just like to state I have a wii, I just think that its better to be sceptical and realise what IMO is clearly happening than be a blind fanboy and think everything will definitely be OK, whether i can do anything about it or not. I may be wrong, but i wonder whether you would dispute whether the PS2 deserved to win or not...
Granted, I really enjoy playing when there are multiple people. BUT, when im playing single player, the novelty of a motion controller quickly wears off, and there have been points where I would rather press a button. Look at Wii Sports Tennis, too me, swishing the controller makes no difference i how much fun im having unless i'm playing with friends. And in terms of being more creative? I dont think thats happening hugely at the moment, and sometimes its happening at the expense of a plot. And I still believe that the 360/PS3 still have the advantage in various genres. That said, yet again, developers can make a change to that.
I will say, though, that you are right in saying nintendo has opened a door to new possibilities, and that is important, it is something a console manufacturer is meant to do, leave as many doors open as possible.
 (oh, and i havent voted, because, even though i dont believe the wii deserves its sales, i dont think its a fad, i think its a good idea)
