Wii Haters club

just thought id find out if theres anyone else on here that carnt understand why people are buying Wii consoles when theres not only PCs but PS3s and 360s i couldnt help but convey this in the Wii thread but got a bit of a slaggin from the more serious people on the site. anyone else that doesnt believe the hype about the cartoon console outthere

Is it anywhere near as powerful as a PS3? No
Is it as powerful as a tricked up PC? No

Is it the only console you can shove in the middle of a house party and have people actually engage with each other over and have a laugh rather than taking it seriously? You betcha.

They're a bit of fun, but only a novelty IMO. PS3 in the Jan sales for me I think


Biggest annoyance- going to a party with the owner of the wii:

'go on have a go'
'no'
'go on its fun'
'I've done it before'
'but it's funny'
'the first time'
'go on!'
'I'm going for a wee'

i was lucky enough to get a PS3 given through work but still carnt afford the games at least until they bring out a mod for it lol

would that be a NINTENDO WEE ?

is serious gamers an oxymoron?

Why be so childish as to hate something that's good fun?

PC gaming - been there, done that, spent a fortune constantly upgrading graphics cards, processors, motherboards etc. Can't be arsed with that anymore. I've switched to Mac and really don't want a Windows PC now.

360 - Too ugly for my living room, unreliable and doesn't have built-in wireless networking.

PS3 - Twice the price of a Wii. Might get one in a year or two if they bring out a cheaper 'slim' model like the PS2.

Wii - I love the controller, graphics aren't bad (better than last generation, though not as good as 360/PS3), cheap and reliable. But the really important thing is that the games are great fun to play. That's why I bought it and it delivers fun in spades.

Heh way to point out the obviously intended pun?

I like wiis, I like Mario games, they are fun games, I like fun games. Wouldn't buy one though.

They've already released a budget PS3; the 40Gb model. I wouldn't hold your breath for a slimline model! They aren't actually that big already.

nintendo never release the most powerful consoles, but for me they always have the most entertaining games, especially multiplayers

these days i mostly play on the PC, but the N64 is still hooked up to the TV for when you've got a couple of mates over
