Wii on 32% of wishlists: Sony PS3 on 19%, Xbox 360 on 17%.

"Microsoft is livid that Nintendo has taken the lead in the console wars with a technically inferior but more-fun-to-play system," says Geoff Keighley, host of Spike TV's Game Head. "Microsoft has struggled to make the system appeal to a broader consumer. Games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero III will help, but both of those titles are also available on the PS3."

Sony also hopes to woo shoppers weary of searching for Wiis. Howard Stringer said, "It's a little fortuitous that the Wii is running out of hardware."

According to Weekly Reader Research survey of 8-to-17-year-olds, Wii was on 32% of wishlists, the Sony PlayStation 3 on 19% and Microsoft Xbox 360 on 17%.

[gamesblow]

Nintendo reminds me of the biggest side show jack there is. in about 1 more year you'll see Nintendo pack up their little road show, carnival act and move onto another act altogether. gotta keep things of cheap nature new or else people will catch on.

Ps3 and Xbox 360 should be the only show in town... It's a shame people are too stupid, cheap and lack taste to see that. Such a shame.

[EZCheez]

I never wanted Nintendo to end up going down the same road as Sega and was happy that their console had success. I've had just as much fun on Nintendo consoles as I have Sony ones, if not maybe more.

HOWEVER, one year later it's a completely different story. It's obvious the system isn't made for the more traditional gamers, and considering I fit into that category, it doesn't appeal to me at all. And frankly, it's appalling that a game like Super Mario Galaxy isn't selling well, but Nintendo has made their monster and now they have to deal with it.

The Wii might be the hot Christmas product this year, but how many times can anyone remember that hot Christmas product being the same thing two years in a row?

[Gamespot-equals-EGM]

Change the url, its fvcked up. The current url links to a zdnet page that has maybe 3 lines on this story.

Change the url to link directly to the USA today story.

[unsunghero28]

You guys are completely living in your own little world. Somehow you think that everything is going to turn out exactly the way you think it should.

You ignore the fact that Brawl, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing Wii, WiiFit, and a ton more sure-to-be-blockbusters are coming out next year.

It's OK to be against the Wii, but anyone who can honestly say they believe it's going to meet its downfall NEXT YEAR is going to be quite disappointed.

@below:
I never said WiiFit is good.

I said it will be a blockbuster. And trust me, it will.

[Vicophine]

Wii fit being a good game? That was a good joke!

[Vizion26]

Okay, and if the Nintendo Wii continues to sell at the same rate by the end of next year will you continue to be the Wii-hater fanboy that you are and move the date of the death of the Wii to 2009 or will you think the Wii is the real deal amongst the mass market?

Elitist fanboys on here are so funny to me. Remember before the Wii was released they said the Wii wouldn't last a few weeks? It was completely sold out when it was released.

Then Spring 2007 comes around and people said the Wii was going to die soon. By that time the Wii was outselling both the 360 and PS3 COMBINED.

Summer 2007 comes around and they still made the same tired prediction. During that time the Wii was still outselling the 360 and PS3 COMBINED.

13 months later people are still saying the same thing and according to the VGchartz.com the Wii is still outselling the 360 and PS3 COMBINED.

I guess 2008 will be another year of the "Wii will die soon." Stay tuned folks and witness the irrational haterism of fanboys. HAHAHAHAHAHA

I seriously now think this site is populated with teenage boys who don't know any better.

[Lionsguard]

What I'm worried about is how Nintendo might influence the future course of gaming. I sure hope to god Sony and Microsoft doesn't make their next line of consoles after the Wii, Low graphics, new control schemes and a ton of useless minigames. Nintendo might look like it's the best thing right now but what if it truly has set the seeds for the future of gaming, 20 years from now would you really want another Wii 3? or a Sony and Microsoft version of one? Nintendo could be poisoning the future for all we know. The proof is even showing in this generation on the Wii itself. Super Mario Galaxies touted as one of the best didn't even sell quite well as expected but a ton of minigames are bestsellers. even 5-10 years from now would anyone still want a Wii? What about the next Nintendo system? Are they going to re-create the Wii but with new controllers? I just hope Sony and Microsoft doesn't follow Nintendo because the next gen would just be so F'ing gimped I'd quit gaming all together or commit to PC gaming again. 1 Wii for one generation is enough but 3 Wiis for the next generation is 2 too many. Like I said before Nintendo can call themselves New-Generation but not Next-Gen I'll be damned if they ruin the hardcore gamer scene for the future.

[EZCheez]

Amen brother.

That's the biggest problem. I've noticed in some of these previous posts by other guys that there is some defense for the Wii, but I consider it more of a defense for their purchase, not the console itself. These people are not the problem though. I consider them to be avid gamers like the rest of us and loving their consoles as most would. The problem is most people buying these Wii's aren't interested in video games for the most part and never have been. Selling though does effect Sony and Microsoft because if someone does buy a Wii, it also means that at the same time they are not buying a PS3 or 360.

And the last thing any of us want is for consoles to be dumbed down to cater to the mass market. I never played video games to fit in, and that's the last thing I want my console to try to do as well.

[Snukadaman]

Everyone knows by now too get the best experience you need to own a ps3/xbox360 too play the newer games like COD4 and assassins creed...bugs aside...No I think parents would rather buy the cheaper console themselves...while hardcore games own either ps3 or xbox 360 and purchase a wii for the cheap price...I am still happy with my purchase of the wii but I have been sort of let down with some games.....carnival games is abysmal...metroid prime was not fun....but some people enjoy those sort of games...Im having more fun playing crossbow training then anything I have purchased on the wii since resident evil 4.

@macalatus...I hope your wrong about that video game crash comment...most people on here forget there was a time when NO consoles were being made and games were so bad they tried too sell them for 1 or 2 dollars in giant bins. But With all three consoles i dont think we have that problem.....yet.

[macalatus]

@kydrice, EZCheez, and snukadaman,

Wow...I thought I was the only one having the same sentiments. I was sort of afraid to say the same things fearing the label of a 'Wii-hating' fanboy. One thing I would like to add (crazy theory it may be...I'll admit) is that I have a 'hunch' feeling that we may be approaching a second video game crash similar to the one that happened in the early '80s. I can't explain why...I think that with much of the games we see now are 'multi-platform', the video game industry is over-saturating itself. With the sole exception of die-hard fanboys, to regular people there aren't a whole lot of games that make the 360 more appealing to PS3 and vice-versa. Nintendo, for all we know, is probably banking that another video game crash is somewhere down the line (remember, Nintendo dominated and single-handedly started the industry after the Atari debacle). And combined with a possible 'consumer revolt' in the future over the endless format wars, different sku's, etc., Nintendo will once again take the reins. Once again just a crazy theory from me and not meant to be a flame-bait post.

@vision26,

If the Wii manage to outsell the PS3 and 360 COMBINED for the duration of this current con-gen war, the elitist Wii fanboys will rise-up and probably be more annoying than the PS3 and 360 fanboys COMBINED!! ;-)

[MK_Red]

"the elitist Wii fanboys will rise-up and probably be more annoying than the PS3 and 360 fanboys COMBINED!! ;-) "

True indeed. We already have one elite Super Mario Galaxy fan here that posts negative and troll comments in every PS3 and 360 game review story.

[BrotherNick]

Annoying because there aren't any real fanboys on this site for nintendo except him.

[ItsDubC]

lol, you're complaining about ONE Wii fanboy troll but fail to mention the NUMEROUS 360/PS3 fanboy trolls that have been doing the same thing in Wii news stories since before the Wii even came out? That's a only a taste of what Wii fans on N4G have had to deal w/ on a daily basis.

[MaximusPrime_]

it seems genuine so i approved it. Shame that there will be a lack of Wii.

More good news for PS3. I keep hearing good news almost everyday. good job Sony.

[The Dark Knight]

kids only want ps3 cause its expensive, but they dont know that there paying for,

[MaximusPrime_]

i dont think that is the case. Kids find more fun to play on Wii than PS3, nothing to do with the cost. PS3 (like xbox 360) is more aimed at 15 and over. Under that age, are welcomed.

[MK_Red]

What do those 32% see in Wii!?

[green]

i have nooooooooo idea

[cloud360-7th_account]

wiitards are those who buy their game console based of a controller.

I feel sorry for them

[Razzy]

They see cute little Mario I guess. Who knows. I wouldn't let my son near my HDTV with that Wii remote, that's for sure. :)

[Darkiewonder]

IDK.

But I can say that my friend was turned on by that. Got the Wii from her brother, started to rent games for it. Well, I won't say much after that :x

[unsunghero28]

They decided that they wanted to play the best game of the generation.

@below:
Ehh, I wouldn't make such a generalization regarding the Wii's game quality. While it does have A LOT of cruddy third-party ports, it also has some absolutely outstanding gameplay experiences.

[AngryTypingGuy]

I think that most people who enjoy the Wii like the simplicity of it. There are alot of older people and young kids who probably find the controllers of the 360 and PS3 to be a little intimidating due to so many buttons.

[AngryTypingGuy]

I think that most people who enjoy the Wii like the simplicity of it. There are alot of older people and young kids who probably find the controllers of the 360 and PS3 to be a little intimidating due to so many buttons.

I too think that most people get the Wii as a novelty because of the controller. The Wii severely suffers in game quality compared to the other two.

[MK_Red]

@ unsunghero28 "Maybe They decided that they wanted to play the best game of the generation."

Mario Galaxy is NOT the best game of this gen. It's the mass appeal game of gen and one that appeals to everyone just like blockbuster movies like Transformers and Simpsons.

BioShock is THE best next-gen game so far because it's a true work of art AND is fun. It's like the The Godfather or Zodiac of movies. Not for every taste but definitly a masterpiece and true work of art.

[BrotherNick]

Most people like to not play games as much as us hardcore...so the wii fits in perfectly. They go out more? maybe have better priorities.

[MK_Red]

@ BrotherNick
It's not about how much people go out and how hardcore they are. I don't like Wii Sports but thats the game for many casuals. Thank God, I have my job as well s studying computer & electronics at college while doing my graphics projects, go out to parties and friend houses and gathers (And non of those friends are gamers or have a single console and game device in their homes) and still play games as a hardcore gamer.
WiiFit is beyond disgusting and is by no means a game or even a workout device. You'll understand when you try it. I still can't believe how bad, unfun and useless it felt.

[name]

I think the internet in general is really harsh and shortsighted on the Wii. While I don't own one myself(I own a ps3 and an upgraded PC), I can understand how some people can have an interest in it. I'm not gonna write it off as just a casual gamers console, but if you look at it from a perspective of those who aren't gamers, motion controlled gaming is definetly alluring.

The wii doesn't only have mario. The twisted thing about the "doesn't have any games" argument(directed at any platform) is that essentially it means "doesn't have any games I want enough to buy". Which is obviously the case since they don't own it. Which means basically anyone can say that a console doesn't have any games simply because they don't own it.

Eh, what am I rambling about, Second place woot woot. =D

[unsunghero28]

Have a bubble.

[TwissT]

Wow well said bubbles for you

[Saint Sony]

Kids may wish what ever they want and they wish what they have heard of the most. Playstation brand has always been the most visible in adverts and success of PS2 is still affecting... but in the end it is us DADS who buy the gifts ;)

Therefore 360 will rule this Christmas.. just wait and see.

Hmmm.. did the last 4 words sound familiar?

[unsunghero28]

You are in for a serious disappointment.

[Snukadaman]

everyone knows this and accepts this...well ..some of us do.

[codeazrael]

Anybody remember Xavix? It was alot like the Wii, only it didnt have the nintendo name behind it. But the interface had the same idea, take gaming beyond a analog/directional pad and make it more immersive for the customer. The Xavix video game system, released last generation failed horribly. So with first party Nintendo games famous for taking forever to be made (namely Mario, last REAL Mario game released on the 64) and with 3rd party games being the ones reviewers giving extremely low scores, I wonder how long this charade with the Wii will last.

[unsunghero28]

Super Mario Galaxy???

Ring any bells???

@Below:
Oh, please.

Saying Super Mario Galaxy is the same as Super Mario 64 (in the 90's, of course) is like saying that Metal Gear Solid 4 is the same as Metal Gear Solid 3.

Except, oh yeah, Super Mario Galaxy DOES actually revolutionize the gameplay and not just the graphics of its predecessor with spherical worlds, gravity physics, etc.

Maybe you should reserve judgment on Galaxy until you... I don't know... play it? Because otherwise all you can go by are the outstanding reviews.

[rofldings]

Sure does. I played that game back in the 80's, but with a different name.

But wait, I still have to save that b1tch from that f@g.

Except now I have a new controller.

That's great.

[ravinash]

And they don't go looking at websites looking at game scores.
All the terms they trow round here on this site, they have never heard of. What is a AAA game? Whats the big deal with the Cell? twhat is a Cell? Rumble what? Processor who?
The only reason your on this site and reading these comments now is because your into games and tech! Some of you may own Wiis and enjoy them...I'm sure they are fun. But have you noticed with all the flame wars that happen here, there is hardly a whisper from Wii owners.
1. there are not as many hardcore Wii fans on here as the rest of the hardcore fans.
2. Wii is taking the lead, so no one wants to bring up the subject.

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

will be playing Wii Sport in 1 year time? Maybe Wii Sports too?

Can't you just go play with some friend of yours real sports -.-

[ChickeyCantor]

cant you just shoot your friends? why go play halo or killzone....

[BrotherNick]

Cause it's cold now. It does a decent replica of the sports, except boxing.

[green]

i do believe that motion sensing controllers are the future.Its just that the games on the wii are 95% crap.And the hardware specification is terrible compared to the PS3 and 360.

I believe there is a graphical requirement for every generation but for me the WII dosent cut it. Even if they don't want to make something as powerful as PS360 they could at least have made something that is at least 3 times more powerful than an XBOX.

I think my biggest fear with the WII winning this generation is that it might change SONY and MICROSOFts strategy for the next generation.They might just decide to improve the graphics of the PS360 a bit more and add fancy controllers to appeal to more people.That i pray dosnt happen.

[BrotherNick]

lol, I don't really think graphics can get much better...as games get bigger and more graphical budgets get bigger as well as risk, they want to make a profit.

[beast]

I am not surprized, That age group perfers wii. How many people who are responding here are between 8-17 i gurantee u about 32 percent

[Capt CHAOS]

nuff said

[unsunghero28]

But 8-17 is also the age group that buys the most consoles and videogames.

[kidrobot]

Word Up Bruh, Bubbles

[ElementX]

As long as there are 8-17yos there will be demand for Wii. I suppose that same group of people don't have their own HDTVs to play a next gen system in all it's glory. I guess the Wii would be the way to go for them.

[witchking]

Let's face it. The "must have" games that the 360 has (Halo 3, COD4, Bioshock, Gears of War and Mass Effect) are all rated M.

The must have games for the PS3 (Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank Future and Warhawk) are all rated T.

So if you're 8-17 years old, and you have to choose between the 360 and the PS3... which one do you think you'll ask for?

[Bladestar]

Heavenly Sword, Uncharted are not rated M? what the? games about killing get rate T? wow.. I didn't know that...
I guess that's a good thing for Sony.. I don't think Microsoft have much of a choice... developers like Epic like blood and gore... they would probably not want to make the game otherwise....

And mass effect... I don't even know why is rate M... I've seing worst games... do they even curse? is it because of the club part... where alien girls dance (with clothin)?

[tk]

Kids don't care about the Cell or MS XBox Live. They like the controller. They like the cartoon figure and they like to swing the controller. Get over it. They don't care about brand loyalty or fanboyism. They want to have fun, and the Wii gave it to them on the level that is good enough for them. Good for Nintendo.

[aaquib5]

Im 15 and I own a PS3 and XBOX 360, but not the Wii. Fortunately, I know that I can take full advantage of my HDTV with these systems, and I know how tow take advantage of all the features in both systems(bluray, wifi built in, music/movie/photo rip on PS3, PSN on PS3, and XBL, media center, etc. on 360. A lot of people my age aren't stupid and want to play games online with their friends with amazing visuals, and stellar online, which we all know isn't found on Wii.

[unsunghero28]

At 13.1, I'd be interested to see how many Brawl tournaments the "people your age" play when the time comes.

[Grassroots]

I love Zelda, Super Paper Mario, and Super Mario Galaxy. Soon Super Smash Brawl! In the end, I seriously give it no play time after them, It's only 360 and PS3. I personally find it a novelty act. I hate seeing game like Monster Hunter going exclusive on Wii when it would be amazing looking and playing on the PS3 or even 360.

[candystop]

We need to stop comparing the Wii to 360 and PS3! They are two completly different gaming markets and should be viewed on different levels! The media and guys like Jeff have spun this into a Nintendo victory which is ashame because everybody has accomplished some type of victory of there own! Nintendo selling consoles like hotcakes, MS having more software sold and huge xboxlive account numbers, while Sony is selling tons of bluray players by being smart and putting them in every console! Nintendo is damaging the market and holding back what should of been an amazing year in sales for both MS and Sony and on top of that destroying what the next gen might be because if they lead we will all loose and be stuck with boo boo visuals! Word of mouth is everything and maybe instead of assisting Nintendo when people ask us about it we should tell the truth and let people know it's ok but not better then 360 or PS3 by any means and thats why they should probably spend a little extra! You know how they always talk about one console in the future well what if that console were the wii 2 and we had no choice but to play there games!

[forum_crawler]

Is destroying what should have been a stellar year of sales for Sony and Microsoft?

Here is a solution, why don't they make a better console? Oh wait a minute, graphics isn't enough... You have to make it more fun and price it better...

Sorry but that argument is just plain silly.

Here is the breakdown:
More fun = wii
Best Graphics = PC
Best Internet Access = PC
Best downloadable content = PC
Best Community Produced content = PC

So there you have it, you want fun get a wii, you want state of the art in anything, get a PC.

PC > Wii, PS3, 360 plain and simple.

[candystop]

Good try but your wrong on every account except pc's will always evolve beyond consoles! The Wii Wii isn't more fun and the only people making these comments are media brats and people like yourself so in other words it's a matter of opinion! Also Graphics are fine on 360 and PS3 and who the heck wants to spend a ton of loot to get what the 360 is spitting out for dirt cheap in comparision! The Wii right now is just one of those odd phases and if and when it dies down you will be the 1st person I laugh at! Not only is Nintendo bad for the market in my eyes but people like you are as well because you will take whatever they throw at you sheesh! The wii must die it's that simple the wii must die!

[forum_crawler]

"The Wii right now is just one of those odd phases and if and when it dies down you will be the 1st person I laugh at"

I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you. Last time I checked the Wii had sold more units than the 360 after coming to the market a WHOLE YEAR LATER!!!

And let's see? who should be laughed at, those who bought the wii a year ago (when the console is the same price today) or those who bought the PS3/360 at a higher price point that it is selling at today? The way I see it, the wii is an investment that still is worth the money, the other two are clearly not.

And why are people like myself bad for the industry? I buy games. The difference is that when I want the best in quality graphics I don't play with consoles, I play PC games. When I want to play other fun games I play Wii games.

It is people like you who are not good for the industry. People who are not willing to understand that the technology market is one that depends on innovation. The 360/PS3 bring nothing new to this generation. Yes they have better graphics, but not as good as the graphics can be on the PC, so therefore they introduce nothing new. The wii on the other hand introduces a new way of gaming altogether. The wii is allowing gamers to have new experiences while the others are just simply re-hashing the same experiences and dressing them up with prettier graphics.

Neither Sony nor Microsoft have introduced anything that wasn't already done in the PC. Nintendo on the other hand, they keep bringing innovations that narrow minded people like you fail to understand.

[unlimited]

going to be a big close race this holiday for microsoft and sony..I hope the ps3 get on top..

[ublender]

Hahaha, amidst all the people competing across the internet on the differences between the Xbox 360 and PS3, the combat between HDDVD and Blu-Ray, and the fight betweem casual/traditional, we all seem to agree (about 90% of us) that we hate what Nintendo did to themselves with the Wii.

I think we (both 360 and PS3 fans)all need to celebrate our agreement on this craptastic system. We actually agree about something! OMG

[unsunghero28]

I would actually link the 360/PS3 gamers' hatred of the Wii to the fact that it is selling much, much better than their console(s) of choice.

Say what you will, but the truth is that the Wii is doing very well for itself.

[Vicophine]

Bubbles for you, the Wii is damaging the gaming industry and it must be stopped. The PS3 and the X360 are REAL gaming machines, the Wii is just a quick buck for failing Nintendo!

[Rooftrellen]

Nintendo is saving the industry...again.

You should thank them for almost insuring the industry gets enough growth that a PS4 and 5 and a y and zbox 360 can come to be.

Without a change to draw in people who aren't normally gamers (and that doesn't mean by making it possible to play movies for $400), and making everyone a gamer, the industry is doomed.

200 million people will not sustain an industry like this.

[forum_crawler]

Sorry man, but the best gaming experience can only be had with a PC.

PC is better than your console. No exceptions...

[candystop]

Says who you? Many of us don't like PC gaming but I'm sure you already new that! I would play on a console any day before going back to PC gaming!

[kidrobot]

Tha Whole Truth [Bubbles]

[kidrobot]

Don't Get It Twisted Bruh, Nintendo Didn't Make Tha Gaming Market.
Don't Talk Like We Owe 'em Fo' Every Console We Hav'. I Ain't Sayin' They Sh!T, Or Dat They Didn't Do Sh!t Fo' Gaming, They Did Alot... But Don't Come Down He'a Givin' Props Like They Tha Sh!t Either...Cuz Tha Truth Son, Ninetendo Right Now Ain't Sh!t, No Matta' Whut % They Hav'. I Kno' Lotta Ppl Dat Wanna Get A Wii, Yeah! Fo Tha Price, Fo Tha LoOk Of It[control], Fo Tha OLD-SCHOOL Games... 'n Dat's Tha Only Reason' I'll Get A Wii One Day, Just B-Cuz Of Tha OLD-SCHOOL Games. Everythin' Else... I Dont Care 'Bout Anythin' Else

[poopface1]

I mean look at video game systems since nintendo to current ones. most owners of 360 or PS3 have played most of those old consoles growing up, and many of them are older or much younger than the target audience of the wii. I always loved nintendo games but ever since mario snshine and the gamecube I knew nintendo wasnt for me. they have forgotten about the people who got them to this time. And now it seems that most of the games are mini games. Nintendo knew to get back in the fight they had to appeal to the parents and younger kids, neither of which buy as much software, and 3rd parties see this and make cheap crapy games. only nintendo uses wii to its potential. and I hate motion controls fr every game.

[olLANDSHARKlo]

tk. I couldn't have said it better myself. These companies aren't paying these kids to promote their systems, so why should anyone care about promoting their system. You have your $ony fanboys and M$ fanboys that think their systems is the best, when no one cares. There is no such thing as a fanboy is this world, but their are people that purchase only one system and of course they want that system to be the best, so they didn't waste their money, this is one example of a fanboy. And then you have the ghetto people that can only afford one system, so they have to pretend it's the best cause you know you can't afford the other systems. A true gamer(as myself) will purchase all the consoles and enjoy all the pros of each one. I love not being a fanboy, I enjoy the best of all 3 worlds.

[eagle21]

I saw a 30 minute tv interview last night on CNBC's Managing Asia. Kaz Harai answered a variety of questions while they featured the gorgeous PS3 games and the refined beauty of the hardware. They are back on their grind again winning consumers by catering to their respective needs. Our man Kaz (california born) speaks english and japanese split 50/50 throughout his workday and even his tone of voice must change for the languages. He works his butt off so "playstation fans" get "exactly" what we want.

[wiizy]

when you're the best ..you expect to be wanted.. im not sure why they even want a ps3 at this point..but to each his own

[jax07]

I have a PS3 and will soon have a Wii. Face it the thing is fun and that is what it is all about. You don't have to have killer graphics to have fun with a game and the Wii proved this. The games on the PS3 and 360 are not fun to everyone that does not have the time invest in learning how to play or understand the complicated games on the 360 or PS3.The Wii provides games that the average person can jump into and enjoy.

[Vizion26]

You guys seem to be really disgruntled. Since you own the greatest machine that even Tesla couldn't imagine you guys should be in good spirits but you come on here to whine and complain and be a hater. What's up with that?

I rarely see Nintendo fanboys go on sites and bash other consoles. They seem to be more mature and rational.

[qnzy]

For sure that ps4 or xboxXXX will merely update hardware or other high tech because of they can't see the big return of doing that. So what we are looking for? Not the real like or movie like game, but only crap notched 3d cartoons jump here and there? So that is the game? That is same thing that how many people agree with the main stream of movie should be disney cartoon figure but not hollywood big hit? hey guys motion sensor is also on the sixaxis control on ps3, and why not have a system give ur more advanced visual and audio experience? do you so care that $150 more bucks? you see, because of ur choice, next gen will have little progress on video and audio, and focus on so called "fun ideas", what is the meaning of "fun ideas" without video and audio? how many of you agree that "LORD OF RING" has the effect if made in 3d cartoons? Again what we are looking for? think about that and not contribute ur money to a company that remake the same title for ten years and assemble lots of crap and earn your 50 bucks! give ur money to sony and msft. They sell u machine at negative profit, and they make good efforts on games, and just want you to buy them!

[forum_crawler]

When I have a PC that provides me with all the innovation that I need?

Better graphics
Better accuracy for FPS
Better variety
Better community produced content

[pshizle]

bye

[Rooftrellen]

Well, the 360 is a computer.

And the PS3 is a movie player.

What is the Wii if not a gaming console? I figure I can see how you could argue the other two aren't, but considering all the Wii does is play games...

[Danja]

360- a ticking time bomb wrapped in a white box

PS3- the only next gen console on the market

Wii- a vibrator for grandmas ..!!

[pshizle]

360 = computer

ps3 = movie player

wii = vibrator for teenage girls

[Rooftrellen]

Ok, well, in that case, I have a computer...I'm on it right now. I have multiple DVD players that play movies perfectly well.

But I think most of us could use something to attract the ladies.

[DaEnforcer]

LOL 8-to-17-year-olds, this says it all and who knows how many kids they asked, it could very well be 90% kids and the rest teenagers. Wii is just a joke of a console, last gen hardware with a next gen sticker just because of the controller. I maybe dislike MS and their crap quality console, but they at least push the tech and deliver good games and not this kiddy mumbo jumbo like Ninty. Oh no, Wii is a no go and I hope Ninty ends up last with their joke of a console and craptastic games like the newest smash hits "Step up on the white thing game" or "Roll the ball in a hole". Wii ain't for true gamers, it's for Wiitards.

why repeat stuff others have been saying for a year now?
Why cant you realize that it isnt helping anyone, nor it opens eyes or anything.

anyone knows that a comment like: TRUE GAMER, REAL GAMES are nothing but BS posts.

[qnzy]

I agree with u. Why not take real exercise outdoor, do those wiiguys really think they can lose weight by using wii? And when playing games, why not sit down and take a real advanture like uncharted.

[TruthbeTold]

"Why not sit down and take a real adventure"

lmao...

[jinn]

completely invalid information

[zerolinkgannon]

Im laughing at all you blind fanboys. Wii sucks, wii sucks, no you what...you suck! Its called being owned, get use to it. Its gonna be a long 4 years. -haha-

[tatotiburon]

jajaja sonykids are so jealous...nice work nintendo, i hope to get a wii this christmas..wii60 FTW!

[HarryEtTubMan]

You're living in your own little dream world./.. Why would PS3 owners be jealous when THEY are the ones with a PS3 and YOU ARENT? So the defective 360 is the better console? I THINK NOT!

[DaEnforcer]

Go to hell with your wii60, anyone who supports Wii is a wiitard. There are only 2 sides, PS3 or 360, the Wii ain't a console, it's a kids toy or a retirement house trainer.
Wii is a nightmare of every gamer, imagine what can happen if Wii wins and devs earn sh1tloads of money on this console. We will be fed with the same crap, same tech for the next 20 years, do you really want that? Wii slows down the tech progress and every gamer should be against it.

[qnzy]

jealous? ur kidding, we just don't wanna see the industry ruined by a fit machine. You can say that u fat ppl need wii, but we never buy it. Besides, I am not opposed to nintendo selling fit machine, but pls not call it console.

[wangdiddy82]

ps3 and 360.. Kids are weird these days though.. All emo and crap.. lol..

When i was a kid i wanted to play good games and i loved football and action games..

The wii is a peice of crap. Its a game cube with a wireless motion control, thats why its soo cheap.. The wii is fun for a day and thats about it..

[aba]

Only came with an extra controller, pretty lame deal. How bout a damn game?

EDIT: gnzy are you retarded ? WTF are you trying to say? If its that I didn't buy a game your wrong. I got COD 4, I think motorstorm should have come with the 40g, I would have bought it anyway if it wasn't $60. That game should have had a price cut by now.

[qnzy]

don't play a kid cheating like this. anyone who never think of which game to play will buy a system first? go to school or hospital.

[qnzy]

@TruthbeTold
listen, I only explain my words for u kids one time, remember only one time.
The game is for u simulate something that u can not apply it in real world, most of us can not have a real adventure in real, unless u want to die early, so game is for this, and for u can shoot thousands of ppl without commit a crime.
so, don't waste ur dad's money to buy a wii just for u can stand on a crap white board, go out and fetch a football, play with ur friends.

[green]

i love my 360.but i would rather see the PS3 succeed rather than the Wii.

its all down to my fear of what the future holds for gaming if the WII succeeds.What the hell is the importance of the Wii fit?

[aba]

So fatass alpha moms can shed those pounds.

[Mr Tretton]

The Wii is an insult/disease to gaming and must be stopped!

Xbox and PS, unite!!! ;D

[ChickeyCantor]

A yess ps3 cures right XD lamo XD

[spectyre]

I bought a gamecube last Christmas so my daughter could have a more family friendly console to play. I also bought all of the top rated games and the only game that held my interest was Resident Evil 4. Everything else I got bored with in just a couple of hours. I have no ill will towards the Wii, I just don't know what the attraction is. So I wonder if the Wii is enjoyed that much or if it is just the next "it" thing.
At this point, Nintendo has to be purposely keeping their production down so that their will be a shortage. Shortage = demand. Seems to be working for them.

[jorellpogi]

I tried playing with my two nephews (aged 5 and 7) with their Wii. They really playing the bowling and tennis. But I never liked it because I wanted a game that is a visual feast like Mass Effect, Bioshock, and Uncharted and Rachet and Clank Future Tools of Destruction.

[poopface1]

hahah speak for yourself little kid who wrote this. the wii is a total joke to me and others im sure. Ive played all most systems,nintendo ones too, but even games I loveed like mario dont even intrest me in the least on the wii. Every thing has been made for little kids. The wii is all mini games to me. I miss when nintendo was going for more realistic looking games like mario and zelda 64. Imagine zelda on PS3 or 360. I wan epic and bloody games. teh wii will die out when all the people actualy can get one and relise its weak. 360 should release a gimicky motion control then they could put all the crappy little wii-like games on 360 and PS3, and on one disk. I usualy buy all the consloes but I could never see my self buying a wii. I finaly got a HD tv and it is apperent that true next gen systems are HD capable and dont have crappier grafix than xbox1.

[poopface1]

I havent even thought of a wish list since I was like 10. Even when I wsa like 10 Id get the more mature games on 64(goldeneye, turok) or games that can appeal to everyone(mario/zelda-- now kiddified more than ever). NOw the wii has very few games for the older audience as games are more realistic and nintendo cant tarnish their family image.

[TruthbeTold]

Thank you for making of yourself a prime example. For everyone to take note, of the biased, childish, wanna-be-elitist B.S. flung out at the Wii like retarded monkeys throwing crap at the zoo.

"Look at me, I'm a growed-up now cuz I like bloody games fer merchure peoplezzzz. The Wii is teh suckzorz..."

Or, to quote you directly:

"teh wii will die out when all the people actualy can get one and relise its weak."

You're either a child, a poorly educated individual who's too clueless to realize how dumb he sounds, or both. All you did is regurgitate the lamest cracks against the Wii, and your execution was at a level below that of the average 8th grader. Get out of here with that mess. How embarrassing.

[poopface1]

I simply stated my opinion, you attacked ME and ignored the story. what is your point. Im not sure but you make yourself out to be a total deuch. your an Idiot if you think those are cracks at the wii, I truly believe what I said. I didnt say Im all grown up now I just said that even when I was ten I would never want to play anything on the wii but nintendo first party games and RE4. ANd by the look of your pokemon picture your the little kid.

[TruthbeTold]

I didn't attack you. Your own participation here is an attack against your credibility. The story wasn't insulting. You were, with your pathetic attempt to belittle the Wii, and act as if you are too old or sophisticated for it; and that in a way that is nearly impossible to decipher due to your ridiculous spelling and sentence structure issues.

In yet another way you out yourself as an idiot, you call Pokemon a kiddie game in an attempt to call me a kid ( In classic "I know you are but what am I?" style no less lol). More than half of Pokemon players are Adults. The series did start 10 years ago you know... Since when does less/nonviolent or innocent = Kiddie? That mindset is just sad. Most people have no idea of the games complexity, and if they are like you, try to belittle it to make themselves feel superior since they are lacking in certain areas regarding social acceptance. I'm sure you know what I mean. :p

Fact: The first edition of Pokemon (Red/Blue) has sold as many copies as all the installations of Halo combined. The series as a whole is second only to Mario games in number of games sold. As they used to say on GI Joe: "Now you know. And knowing is half the battle." ;)

[poopface1]

but im just saying that nintendo may constantly get new people to play games but to do that theve pretty much forgotten about most of the people who they got to play their previous consoles(before gamecube).
Dont tell me about pokemon. I bought pokemon blue when it first came out, got six badges and quit. It was way too repetitive. Id much rather have pled FF7 or goldeneye around that time. If you like it fine, but it was way overrated and I will even admit that I even watched that crappy cartoon. I dont know what pokemon you played but pokemon blue was not complex at all, even way back when I was in 7th grade.

[Madbrain]

Here at Europe people not buying this piece of crap from Microsoft, we prefer a real game console. We just wait for the price reduce.. patiently... now everybody want a ps3. You will see that clearly in holiday season. Sorry Microsoft! A fart in your face from Europe!!
