And don't wear it out.
(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

I have played Ocarina of Time quite a bit actually and love it, Majora's Mask I haven't been lucky enough to play (might try to find a ROM to play it on, been playing Ocarina here and there)

2) My PS3 is completely backwards compatible. I think my Xbox 360 is too.
3) Actually, the games get bored fast and they are no match for a PS3 or Xbox 360 game.
4) All of the consoles can be a family console.
5) Nobody has a microphone... and on Xbox and PS3 you can MUTE the 10-year-olds.
6) No it's not. It's not more fun. I've tried it. I have one. It's fun, but not more fun.
7) Who cares? The extra controllers are there to play games that are older... And the PS3 has many different controllers too. Same with the Xbox 360.
8 ) No it did not start the craze. Moving controllers have been around longer than the Wii.
9) They're small because they don't have as many great features the PS3 and Xbox 360...
10) It's a pain in the ass getting a friend code. You can't remember who is who either. And thinking of a good screen name is a great way to express who you are...
11) The online service sucks. PS3's service is free. And if somebody wanted to make the Wii go down for a month, they would have no trouble.
12) Hacking leads to cheating and other shady things. Most people would rather play on a more secure console. And hacking could definitely lead to the online service going down for months.
13) They haven't added that much stuff about Mario. It's all the same shit.


There.


finally somebody with sense

I can agree with the wii being the first to make the motion controls, and I love my Wii to death, but I also love my PS3. Nintendo will always have a place in my heart, I have owned every one of their systems. But there are just things that make 360 and PS3 better than the Wii. Multiplayer is better. Its alot easier to find people by screen name than friend code. and developers are way better.

I <3 Nintendo. I love my Wii. But I am kinda interested in this Wii U. I have been waiting for Nintendo's plunge into the NGC era. They haven't failed any time before.... What makes this any different?

Ps3/xbox360 are better because

1. Better Graphics
2. Better games
3. You can sit on couch and play instead of standing up moving your arm
4.You get all the Downloadable content
5. It is easier to come up with a UserName
6. they have evolved Motion Gaming
7. No need for a Motion detector on top of the TV
