Why is the 360 so much better than the Wii/PS3: I've played GeOW, Dead Rising, and PGR3 for hours.

See what I did there?

I like Nintendo, but there is absolutely NO WAY you can say it is better than the PS3 or 360 right now.

Because they sacrificed graphics, but the games are much more fun and interactive.

you can totally say its better than the PS3. not the 360... not so much. the exclusive games or the PS3 (I own a 360) dont apeal to me nearly as much as the wii's. So that with that and and the $600 price tag there is no question in my mind that the wii is better right now.

If you figure (cheaper + simpler) = (Better + more fun), then yes Wii is better then the PS3 and Xbox360. :roll:

Wii is a fad. they have to keep trying to come out with things that are out of the ordinary and diffrent trying to spark some revolutiony new generation thing. Look at gamecube, the tiny discs were cool and all but that made it so you cant play dvds or music cds like all other consoles. now they have this motion sensor bull shiet which wont be on their next console most likely, and now they dont get any big franchises such as GTA4, Unreal Tournament 3, elder scrolls obvilion, and way more. also there are hardly any racing or FPS shooting games that are actually good. they cant try doing the normal such as good graphics and gameplay because if they try to compete with the technology that microsoft and sony work with because that is their soul purpose. its pathetic that nintendo which has the soul purpose of gaming gets beat by companies that just made the consoles for extra money.

wow, I pray for you hoping that those are not your friends. cuz if anyone is that old and throw a party drinking soda and playing a nintendo wii, then they really are a bunch of loser nerds with no life.

Well, arn't we Mr. Awsome Cool. :roll: Screw you to tell other people how they should have fun. Sounds like your just jelous that you don't get invited to gaming partys. My bro's GF had a birthday last month (turned 27) and we had about 40 people of all ages and genders playing Wii at one point. But, I guess you're right, we are socially inferior to you as we hang out in groups having fun instead of sitting alone playing some FPS online with strangers we can't even touch.

By the way, almost everyone in those pics are drinking alcohol.

I don't own a Wii and after playing with it at a party about two weeks ago I probably never will.   Its not that its not fun but its like "simple".  I think that is the secret to its success.  There were maybe 30 people at this party.  Roughly even number of guys and girls.  Normally at a party like this the guys will break off at some poing and leave the girls yapping while we go play but at the party the girls were totally into it too.  People that had never played any console in their life were jumping to play the Tennis and boxing games the moment they saw that it was a simple motion they were familiar with.  Even if they totally sucked they played I think because the motion was a familiar one.  Noobs were fascinatd with how it worked and how the sensors could know where one was standing and moving.

A bunch of people that NEVER talked about games were talking about it and talking about wanting to get one after playing it. 

Whatever.....I still find it gimmicky.  If I owned it the thing would be like a karaoke machine that never gets played except at parties.

I will never own it.

What about traditional games? I know it's a port, but Godfather for the Wii is really well done. It feels like an, honest to God, murder simulator. Choking the life out of someone in a game with your bare hands in real life just feels diturbing.

And of course their are games that are not ports.

Right...no you're right. 360 games cost like $300 while Wii games make you $20 profit.... true story!!

So, in this thread we established that the Wii is a great thing for parties.

But what if I wanna play a game just by myself? When I get home tired after work, do I wanna stand in front of my TV and wiggle and shake the controller to Wario Ware?

Don't get me wrong: yeah, the Wii does indeed look like fun. I've always said this.
But my idea of having  fun playing video games just greatly differs from what this console offers.

Give me a joypad, give me keyboard and mouse. Let me sit, lean back and mash buttons. It's nice to own a party game or two, but the Wii is being flooded with these kind of 'superficial fun' games.

Zelda, Call of Duty, Monkeyball, Trauma Center, Paper Mario, Galaxy, Metroid, (in fact anything that is not a party game) are all played loafed over on the couch. YOU DO NOT STAND OR WAVE YOUR ARMS in any of these games or any other game of similar genre. It's actually more comfortable to play these games with the wiimote than with a standard pad since your arms are rested at each of your sides instead of linked together holding a controller.

Wii currently semi-sucks. There is no denying it. Here are my reasons why it sucks:

1. Wii = a very disgusting name, just think if your little brother walks in and says "Hey, can i play with your Wii?"

2. Only two good game out right now (In my opinion) Zelda and Wii sports.

3. Most of the games control very awkwardly with the Wiimote.

4. The remote makes weird sounds.

5. The strap breaks.

6. Most games have bad graphics and sound.

7. Mii's suck.

8. Virtual console games are overpriced.

9. Gamecube controllers plug in weirdly.

10. Can't delete settings/saves (You might be able to, but i haven't figured out how yet.)

 

Good facts about Wii:

1. Super Smash Bros. Melee will feature Solid Snake.

2. Metroid Prime 3

3. Thinking...

Why is the Wii so much better than 360/PS3? Well if by better you mean exchanging gameplay fun and graphics for a cheaper price, gimmicky controller and kiddy games, then yes the Wii wins hands down.

Great. Now each console is more fun than the others.

This keeps spiraling upwards until we find god playing C64.

My rebutal. sort of. with opinions mixed in.

1. is kinda childish

2. thats your opinion but I think most people think there are more than that. (SPM, and WW are great and there are other good games)

3. all of the games I have played have been good but I havent bothered with the bad games so I wouldnt know.

4. yea it does.

5. they fixed it

6. crap ports do but the graphics are getting better.

7.I like the cartoony mii's 

8. I would like it if they ct everything by $1.

9. they do but is that really an issue?

10. you can. you go to settings or options or what ever from the wii menu (I'm being to lazy to get up) and then click the option on the left, then click the wii option. or something like that

I have played zelda,wiisports and wario for hours.jessmo30_basic

2 out of thise 3 games could have been played on GC versions. Thats the biggest joke of it. The only other Wii game you have to make your point, is a demo.

On the point of playing for hours. Oblivion and your not playing that on a last gen system. Yes the psp is basically a different game.

Is it because you cant see the screen anymore, to play the nex gen systems?

Could you make your font bigger please? I'm having trouble reading it. :P
