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

I like the Wii myself. All arguements about graphics should be gone. Who gives about graphics? Graphics mean NOTHING all that matters in a game is the story/gameplay. If you only like games like FPS or anything in that nature then you shouldn't argue in this thread either because Nintendo doesn't support MANY of those games. It's mainly for classic gamers and family gamers. I have to agree with most. But the online part of the Wii SUCKS all it is is lag for all online games I have on Wii. I also prefer nametags then FC. Thats what I think. I also prefer my SNES, N64, Atari, Dreamcast, Genesis, Nintendo, and etc. over PS3 and Xbox 360 any day.

The original PS3 is also perfectly capable of playing old PS1/2 games too. No need for that stupid CFW shit, I can play my old Playstation games and still play online.

Do some research before you post.
Worldwide sales figures
Wii – 86.01 million as of 31 March 2011
Xbox 360 – 55 million as of 4 June 2011
PlayStation 3 – 50 million as of 31 March 2011
But sure, Nintendo is clearly making no effort, and that "hardcore" gaming market is clearly more lucrative
