I laughed when I saw "rise" and "wii" in the same sentence.

I feel like a little kid... :cry:

many fanboys starting to realise that the Wii will sell the most this gen, so they need damage control

cannot only imagine how things will be when the PS3 overtakes the 360 in sales next year

Nintendo_Man

agreed

more and more people are being forced to accept the fact that the wii is going to sell the most this gen

there are 5 stages of acceptance, as shown by this video

for the past couple of years, the posters of system wars have been in stage one. it seems that recently they have progressed into stage 2.

Happens with everything. The more popular it becomes the more it gets hated on. I believe it's called jealousy

i do have to say that the Wii has lost a lot of its luster. i cant think of one huge exclusive blockbuster title scheduled for release. i know they will make sequels to their big name games (zelda,mario,star fox, etc.) but those probably won't be done for at least two years.

True there is a lot of damage control from non wii owners. There is also a lot of wii disappointment threads from wii owners like myself that see the wii sell amazing month after month but those sales never seem to translate into good games and frankly there is not a lot of promising wii games in the near future (2008 not announced 2009+ games that we know nothing about).

Bigboi500

Riiight, "insecure", most of this board dislikes the Wii, and they're not all insecure people. if you bash the Wii on every chance you get then yes, you are insecure, but its library is obviously lacking compared to other 2 consoles...that's the reason people dislike it here.

Not liking the Wii is one thing, but bashing it just proves that the people doing it are insecure. Why else would anyone not interested in it or its games bother to talk about it?

Dislike and hate are two different things. Discussing things they dislike about it is one thing, hating on it is insecurity. All that hate and ignorance is spawned from insecurity.

Well said. Why else would a game like Wii music be treated with such vehemence?

It's actually a scale. The amount of hate is scaled in proportion to the amount of time without an AAE or an AAA game, seriously. Look at the bashing Cows got until MGS4 came out, Wii had not much hate against it early in the year because it got like 2 AAAE's in 3 months when every other console had nothing really. Then after E3 people were bashing the lineup, now there hasn't been anything good since Okami, so the hate will rise and rise until a great game comes out and shuts everyone up who's going "LUL WII got NOM games 4 rest of da yea!!!"

Because the Wii is in the worst state its been in since launch with a poor selection of upcoming Wii games so stupid anti-Wii fanboys saw the oppurtunity to bash the crap out of it and walk around laughing with a sense of accomplishment. Kind of like the horrible PS3 launch.

Why? Let's see, no games good enough to hype this holiday season. Then the games that are releasing end up being so bad it's embarassing. For instance, hyping the Wii version of Force Unleashed as the best version.....Sheep kind of walked into that one. heck you sheep even convinced me that maybe it might grade out as high as the PS3/X360 version.....then they get a 6.5.

The Wii is hated for good reason....unless you are like the millions that use it for WiiFitt or group party games. Core games, Wii = sucks.

So good infact you listed by saying ...........

I think it's funny when someone defends the Wii saying it has an ABUNDANCE of GOOD games coming out but list none......what's even funnier is when people actually try to list some lol.

Of course you could just list games that are going to come out late next year or in 2010 (like the new Zelda, Mario, Metriod, Pikman, ect...) but that is exactly why people are hating the Wii right now.

I have two guesses:

1) Single system owners are trying to make themselves feel better for picking the wrong system this gen.

or

2) Sometimes I think that all the trolls get released from suspension all at once, release all their anti-Wii venom, and then simultaneously get suspended all at once, how else do you explain the periodic waves of anti-Wii trolls?

TBH, even if it is not your favorite system there is no reason not to have one.

The negitive backlash had to come sooner or later. All these millions of Wii owners are finally realising the Wii is a piece of crap. Just look at the awesome 3rd party support...look at NHL'09, look at Star Wars Force Unleashed....look at the awesome first party game coming soon: Wii Music...yah. This system is just a waste of everyones time.

The wii had a great late 2007-early 2008 with Galaxy, brawl, No more heroes, mario kart. But the future looks bear.

Why the hate?

Because many gamers who grew up on Nintendo or supported them for years, are beginning to realize (and after 2008 E3) that the Wii isn't exactly what they expected it to be, after 2 years.

Wii had good games for the first year. Now I dont see anything worth spending the money on, at lest when I could buy a PS3 game that may give me more use. I'm still playing COD4 because it has online. After seeing what the other two systems can do, I just dont see much in the wii anymore. I've been a life long nintendo fan, and this is the first gen where I've been totally disapointed in where they are taking their games.

That would be due to the decline of good games coming out for the Wii... There's been nothing new for months now.

And Wii games don't have online? A lot of people are still playing Mario Kart online, is a blast.

We were promised new ways of playing, but all we got was a replacement for button mashing.
