And don't wear it out.
Haha. Please
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.
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?
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

1.) the Wii is as powerful as a toaster. A Wii can toast bread? Bro, that alone makes it better than any console I've ever owned.
2.) the graphics engine is as powerful as the one from the N64. Graphics aren't everything, and this is coming from a PC gamer. =D Example: Crysis/Crysis 2, great graphics, shitty game.
3.) it's cheaper because it sucks. Naw, it's cheaper because there's a wider demographic, and they make up for it in sales.
4.) not everyone likes motion control games. Not everyone likes using a controller, or a mouse and keyboard.
I think you're just too self-involved to let others like what they like.
5.) you can get kinect or ps move for a system that is worth it. Or I go by my personal preference, and not what others tell me.
6.) the CPU is as good as the CPU from the PS1 It still plays games completely fine. :lol:
7.) some models of the ps3 are backwards compatible So is the Wii.
8.) Xbox 360 is also backwards compatible There aren't any really Xbox games worth revisiting. Fable and Halo are probably the only big two.
9.) you can play mario on the NES which is $50 on ebay instead of $200 on the Wii But the Wii has a ton of games on TOP of a lot of NES games, so why would I want to be limited?
10.) Wii doesn't have an Ethernet port It can still connect to the Internet just fine.
11.)Only has wireless b wifi so goodbye good online experience Seems pretty solid, to me.
12.) Wii is way more easily moddable because on ps3/xbox right now the only way is saughtering Free games is a bad thing now?
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. You have the right to an opinion, but you don't have the right to bash other's opinions when they can't be falsified. It makes you look even more childish, and frankly like a complete douchebag. Do you like my opinion? =D And there's a difference between a fact people actually care about and a fact pointed out by someone who doesn't understand the point of personal preference. For example: you.

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.
So he's narcissistic, but you're the one who thinks no one has the right to express their opinion? Makes total sense.
Hypocrite.

Haxor!
Your reasons are valid, although the Wii's online play has nothing on Xbox Live and PSN. I have all three consoles, and I believe that Xbox is the best, for reasons such as:
- Xbox Live Parties
- Sky Player/ Zune etc.
- Exclusives (Map Packs/Gears of War)
- I cannot play Call of Duty on the Wii :wtf:
I believe that the 'Moving Controller' genre of consoles/games is ahead of it's time, and needs much more development to be able to top the front runners, Xbox and Playstation.
