Well, other than Nets, I think all the wii-bashers who haven't actually played one for more than a demo at some electronics store should certainly reconsider, if not ashamed for making such harsh commentar against a perfectly good gaming medium. The wii most certainly takes a lot of getting used to, but in the end it is a far better controller. Less time spent worrying about graphics means more time that can be put into making the game longer and deeper. Perhaps you should consider that. And unique games do not, "suck". The latest iteration of Wario Ware, for example, is a fantastic game than can be played and replayed for a vast amount of time. The new Zelda game (although not nearly difficult enough) was barrels of fun. I suspect the new Mario game will be no less.
Furthermore:
Since when did videogames become some war where you had to pledge your allegiance to some company's console? Videogames. Not Videoconsoles. The whole point is to play a good game, not say "I love *box" or "*3" or "*tendo *". Personally, I wanted to buy a PS3. All of my favorite series are pretty much Sony exclusive. That doesn't mean I threw a hissy-fit when I was forced to op for a Wii or get nothing. Yes, there are no visible improvements in GRAPHICS over the old system, but the games themselves are a brand new experience. Yes, the Wiimote is a very new and different concept, but isn't this what the supposed "hardcore gamer" community has been clambering for all along? And yet, when it does finally reveal itself, they tear into it? Well, damn! Why bother? I am suddenly reminded of the flash movie, "Is this what you want?" rather strongly. This is not to say I am not partial to the other systems. I love the Playstation 2. I love it not only because I think the controller is perfect for what I love to play most, but because I get more of what I want, with plenty of sequels. I find something I like, I complete it, and then there's more. I don't care if it's the same game, because then it's just like playing an extension of the last one I played, and if I bought this one then I must have liked the last one a lot. And though I have never played an X-box for more than a few hours, I have respect for it also. The multiplayer, when you have the right amount of people, is endless entertainment. It wasn't hard to learn, and using the somewhat complicated controller quickly became almost second nature to me. Plus, I was very much impressed with the hit titles that those working for the system produced. Every console has it's pros and cons, there's no use fighting about it.
The console's strength or value is meaningless, as it is nothing more than a vessel. The console wars, doubly meaningless. The point of games is to relax and enjoy yourself with a game made to push the limits and make a name for itself as the ultimate time waster. There's no point in arguing over how you do it. It's like everybody is driving to the amusement park, and suddenly the whole group starts saying someone sucks for arriving in a Chevy. Why bother? Get past it, and go ride the roller coaster and eat funnel cake.
And nets07, you can go fuck yourself
See that? Completely unneccesary.
...the WII is just a toy.
Also not required of him in any way.
The topic was a simple question. "Which do I buy, I personally do not want a Wii." And within...a page, even. (Sad.) It's turned into this...B.S.
Just stop the madness and go play whatever system. Gaming is about the games.
Now to make my answer to the question in this topic:
Find one with the most games that interest you, and GOGOGO.
