(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Well, as I'm sure some of you have noticed, the Wii section doesn't get nearly as much attention as the PS3 and Xbox 360 sections. It seems like people believe that for some reason, the PS3 and Xbox 360 are better than the Wii.

Haha. Please :P

Let's remind ourselves that while the Wii may be different, that doesn't make it any worse. In fact, I can think of some pretty good reasons why the Wii could be considered better than the other consoles.

1) It's a lot cheaper.
2) It's completely backwards compatible.
3) It has games that you actually enjoy playing.
4) It's a family console.
5) The 10-year-olds playing multiplayer with you don't have microphones.
6) "Wii" is more fun to say. Try it.
7) Compatible with four different controllers.
Cool Man (aka Tustin) Wii started the whole "moving controller" craze.
9) They're super light, small, etc.
10) Friend Codes: No need to spend hours trying to think of a good screen name.
11) An online service that is free and isn't down for month-long-periods.
12) It's super easy to hack, enabling free games.
13) And, finally... Mario :fyea:

Anyways, those are just some of the reasons off the top of my head. I'm sure you can do better? Smile

And just because you disagree doesn't mean you need to spend a good 15 minutes typing up counter examples for each one. Go make useful posts elsewhere :p

Reasons why you are a fag
1.) the Wii is as powerful as a toaster.
2.) the graphics engine is as powerful as the one from the N64.
3.) it's cheaper because it sucks.
4.) not everyone likes motion control games.
5.) you can get kinect or ps move for a system that is worth it.
6.) the CPU is as good as the CPU from the PS1
7.) some models of the ps3 are backwards compatible
8.) Xbox 360 is also backwards compatible
9.) you can play mario on the NES which is $50 on ebay instead of $200 on the Wii
10.) Wii doesn't have an Ethernet port
11.)Only has wireless b wifi so goodbye good online experience
12.) Wii is way more easily moddable because on ps3/xbox right now the only way is saughtering
13.) Your opinion is void due to the fact there are more facts supporing that the Wii sucks than supporting the wii is better than every console, which is also a very childish opinion. I have them all so i have the right to an opinion.

A game may look pretty but that dosent mean its the best.
Lets look at Metal Gear. I love the sereies but honestly MGS4 the all mighty HD amazing graphic one is the one I hate the most because of story and gameplay. Yet I love Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake and that games 8 bit.
If you cant look past graphics and how pretty a game looks you are better off watching movies.

1) Actually the more childish opinion would be to assume that somebody else's opinion is invalid, simply because there are more "facts" against their argument (even though the quantity of the facts is no measure over their quality, which is particularly low for the "facts" that you listed).

2) The Wii's lack of wired internet capabilities is still much more impressive than the 360's lack of wireless capabilities. Oh, and think for a little bit before you reply saying "Oh but I bought the $100 adapter for that, what now".

3) The N64, PS1, and Toaster are some of the most popular appliances of their times. I don't know why you'd think the similarities between these devices and the Wii would be considered a bad quality.

4) Not everything is cheaper purely because "it sucks" (your lack of a better vocabulary continues to astound me). For example, my toaster is cheaper than your PS3 or your Xbox 360. Does that mean my toaster is awful in comparison to your high-tech devices? No. My toaster enhances my food, which in turn prepares me for a nice, highly productive day. Your game consoles have been proven to decrease mental capacity (unlike the Wii, which has been proven to do just the opposite) and don't even make toast.

That's probably all the time I need to waste replying to your poorly thought out post.

you see now what I am saying is that you simply get what you pay for and am not im any way at all comparing a toaster to a PS1, simply that it is very childish and sheepish to just say one system is better than another because it is cheaper or you think it is better. I personally think it is shamful to make this big post about why you personally think one system is better than the rest, and I loved the PS1 and N64, infact I still have an N64 because I don't want to get rid of it. The reason I made my post before was because I saw the title and was kind of offended that one person thought his opinion was just so great that he had to post it for all of NGU to see, which is not only very narcissistic but extremely childish and posts like this is not why NGU is here, this is not a place for a fanboy to post false "facts" of why HE ALONE think one system is so much better than the rest. Oh and i have a new xbox which has 802.11 N wifi so no, i didn't buy the crap adapter. And don't even dare start a damn flame war over a Wii, not even close to being worth it.

in my house all 3 consoles are present and honestly the xbox was the biggest mistake its garbage....

i do play the wii a good bit but the only reason i play it is to play a game with my little brother. wii sports is the only thing i play with him because he is only 9 and i'm 21 we don't have the same taste in games haha but the wii is fun but childish and way bent towards kids.

well the nicest thing about having all the consoles is my whole family can watch netflix whenever they want almost ever tv in my house has a system attached to it i have 2 ps3's and a shitbox in my room middle brother ps3 youngest brother wii netflix is the only reason my xbox gets turned on. unless i have a soda that needs held then i bring the disk tray out

Two words: personal preference.

If you can't grasp that concept, that's your problem. But while you're trying to justify your purchase and opinion, when honestly no one cares about either, I'll be over here playing my vidya games.

Who's getting more for their money, now? :dumb:
