Blah.

I can at least understand why people prefer the 360, it has a larger library of solid games. But I'm not the kinda person who buys like 10 games a month, so for me, it's quality over quantity, that's one reason I prefer the Wii, it's library of quality games is modest, but they're the kinda games I actually care to play. I really don't give a damn for all the shooters and RPG's that dominate the 360 like mad.

The PS3 however, what a worthless piece of sh*t, better than The Wii? C'mon.

I can't believe it has the kinda following it has when just about every game people care about is also on the 360, it's a total embarassment to the video game industry.

It doesn't even have a monopoly on GTA and Final Fantasy anymore, and those have been Sony's trump cards for years.

It's easily better than the Wii and has far more quality games.

Really, what makes the Xbox so special over the PS3?

I find it kind of ironic that you're talking about quality over quantity for the Wii considering the only Wii games even worth buying are the continuation of their decrepit franchises like Mario, Zelda, and Metroid. Sure there are the occasional odd gems like No More Heroes and Zack and Wiki but I mean... c'mon Nintendo create a new franchise or at least reboot one.

I'm in the same boat, researching for the best buy. I don't know yet which one I'll get, but I'm leaning 360. It's actually been years since I had a console--I got rid of a Playstation when I bought an old house that needs all my attention--but I'm almost done and GAME ON! During winter, anyway, when ain't sh*t else to do.

That are also on the 360 along with a lot of exclusive titles, rendering the PS3 completely useless save just a few games.

You can't knock the Wii over quantity and then praise PS3.

The Wii at least has exclusives.

I find it funny that you'd call the Mario series decrepit when Galaxy was probably the most ambitious and successful Mario game since SMB3.

So that's decrepit, as opposed to just playing the same damn shooters over and over?

I think the Wii has a strong if modest library of good games. Brawl, Galaxy, TP, MP3, Super Paper Mario, Okami, Mario Kart Wii, etc.

The thing is, from the start the Wii was the most affordable, theorefore appealing to lower income families like mine, people who can't blow their money on 30 goddamn games a week, like all the spoiled rich douchebags that make up a good bulk of the gaming community.

But the point I'm making is that library of games is just a continuation from previous consoles (except for Okami which was totally ****ing awesome). I mean where is Mario going to go after Galaxy? Once you've gone into space everything else just seems like a step back, and it even seems like Nintendo has acknowledged this by just doing an expansion of what they've already done. You make a good point about shooters, believe me man I'm about ready to just give up on video games because every one just seems to be disappointment and disappointment, each just a tired rip off of something else (see [Prototype] and inFAMOUS). Other than the endless stream of 3rd party casual games released for the Wii, I think it's a pretty decent console itself. My only real complaint with Nintendo is their treading on old ground, something I eventually came to realize after I bought my Gamecube back in 2003 when the only games I really found myself playing were the usual suspects of Mario Sunshine, Paper Mario, Metroid Prime, and Zelda.

Nintendo have been in the industry much much longer, so of course they have some ancient franchises.

But again, I find that to be a double standard. What has PS3 been riding the coat tails on? Metal Gear Solid, Grand Theft Auto and Final Fantasy. Just like, I dunno, a decade and a half ago?

Nintendo keeps their old franchises going, that doesn't mean they're not trying new ideas, turning Metroid into a FPS was a pretty wise move and Galaxy was a great success and with SMG2 it pretty much launched a franchise of it's own.

Nintendo do have newer franchises. Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Warioware, Advance Wars, Golden Sun, etc.

Though I admit I'd like to actually see Nintendo expand on the newer franchises a little. Where's Pikmin 3?

Give us a new Star Fox already, it would be a horrible mistake if they pass that up, especially with the great potential the wiimote would have for that kinda game. They should dust off some of the older Nintendo franchises. Like Kid Icarus and Earthbound. But hey, there's a new Punch Out now, so who knows?

I'm still pulling for the Wii though. I know they're working on a Kirby platformer which I'm excited about, in adidition to Super Mario Galaxy 2, a Wii exclusive sequel to New Super Mario Bros, a third person Metroid and a sequel to Sin & Punishment that will actually be available in the states.

I don't know about you, but things seem pretty cool with me.

The new Punch Out looks pretty sweet.

Don't for a second think that my frustration is limited solely to the Wii and Nintendo boo boo. I have enough hatred inside of me and the 360 gets just as much. I mean it wasn't the Wii that broke down the very day I started my 3 month "vacation" from work due to a broken foot. I have just as many complaints about the games out on the 360, PC, and PS3. I admire Nintendo for staying in the console race for as long as they have. I can also admire (to a degree) the continuation of their franchises to entice new fans of the series. I also agree with you that turning Metroid into an FPS was an incredibly wise decision. However like I said, for the Wii the lines are really being drawn in the sand for games. The stuff that's actually worth buying is almost always going to be 1st party games that are the continuation of a franchise, I mean how many times can you save the Princess or defeat Bowser before it gets monotonous? I think that games like Assassin's Creed, [Prototype], and inFAMOUS have their place (which is keeping us entertained until the next Big Game comes out), but you can't get them on the Wii. All you get are third party casual games, or Nintendo's main franchises. I just think the Wii is a little limited to what you can get. Anyways, I think we'll just have to agree to disagree, we've both made good points and I think we should just leave it at that. You love your Wii and I'm slowly beginning to feel myself getting more and more convinced that gaming just isn't for me anymore.
