I think the most 'innovative' thing about the Wii is that it-- for better or for worse-- managed to appeal to such a broad demographic. The limited technical capabilities of the Wii compared to the Xbox 360 and PS3 reflect this new strategy, taking into account that low cost is more important than performance for many members of Nintendo's new audience. Prior to the Wii, Nintendo hadn't had a home console that could be considered successful relative to its leading competitor's sales figures since the SNES. The Wii has so far outsold its closest competitor by over 30 million units, compared to the 9 million units the SNES outsold the Mega Drive by. Anyway, if we're talking about the platform that crushes all others in terms of performance, we're talking about the PC. ;D |

Well, if i wanted blu-ray, i would buy a Blu-ray dvd player. If i wanted music, i would buy an ipod/cd player/or just one of the hundreds of other ways to listen to music. If i wanted to download movies, i would use my computer (oh and Wii has Netflix too, if you didn't know). If i wanted tv shows, i would go to any of the great websites like "Watchmovie.in" to see them, or just turn on the damn TV. None of these things define a VIDEO GAME CONSOLE. And their not as important as the quality of the console itself and the games it has. As far a the internet goes, i don't know how your comprehension skills are (Low from what i have seen) but as i previously said, the online goes by the game. With every single game (Wii, PS3, and yes, even Xbox for those of you who pay for live thinking the connectivity is better than PS3) comes a different internet connection or server hosted by the makers of the game. And the quality of each one is determined by the makers of the game and how much money they want to fork out to make it better. So the internet connection is not determined by the console, making what your saying completely wrong. Before becoming a fanboy, read up about what your supporting and what you hate, because otherwise you look like a total dumbass. Plus the fact that you said all you used your Wii for was brawl (which has shitty connectivity), VC, and Monster Hunter, you FURTHER prove to me you have no idea what your talking about. You haven't even tried any of the other games and features the Wii has and have no room to make a biased assumption about anything concerning it. Edited by VelvetLightning, Feb 27 2011, 07:43 PM.

You didn't get what I was saying. My point was that the Wii has less features than the PS3 or 360. That's a fact. And the online play is bad, no matter which way you look at it. nintendo needs to wake up and smell te 21st century and realize that their online gaming is shit. Friends codes? no. wiispeak? fail. no only mic you can use if for black ops, which is a shitty port in the first place. And I've owned a wii since 07. I have tons of games for it. when i got my ps3 slim, i gave the wii to my 7 year old brother. he enjoys shit like wii fit or wii sports resort. |

I disagree with your argument on this one. Blu-ray players are expensive and it's always been Sony's strategy to include some sort of media player as a deal sweetener. I remember when DVD players were similarly priced to what Blu-ray players are now that it made a lot of sense to buy a PS2 and use them in this way. |

Yes yes, the Wii has less features than the PS3 and the Xbox360. I never said that it didn't. What i am saying is that it has no effect on anything but the price and size of the console. Its unnecessary, and we don't need it to enjoy a game, so it doesn't help your argument. Can you please read what i type. Nintendo can NOT help the online connectivity of the games. They cant run in the companies that made the games with bad connectivity and fix their servers. If you want to hate anyone for bad online, hate the company that made the game. Yes, friend codes suck, get over it. Wii speak? Why the hell do you need to talk to anyone on a game besides Black Ops or a similar FPS or Animal Crossing. Please, Black Ops Wii is better than any other Wii port i have seen. Plus, have you played it? No, you sure haven't because then you would understand not all the online connectivity is the same considering it is very good on black ops. Regardless, what i see here is the same kind of 12 year old's i see on PS3 Black Ops complaining about everyone's K/D ratio, camping, grenade spamming, and then spamming me with invites because i got past level 40 on zombies. Go grab your PS3 and enjoy it, and quit bitching about the Wii. If you don't like it, get over it because it's not going to change just for you. And if your going to pointlessly join a forum for Nintendo lovers, and the only thing you can think to post on your first real thread is a bash on Wii, then do me and anyone else in the future that you annoy a favor and just leave. There was a saying i remember hearing when i was a kid. Oh yea, if you don't have anything nice to say, DON'T say anything at all. Oh, and to Katz, it was more of a point i was trying to prove. I Don't hate PS3 or Xbox360. I even own a PS3, so thats not where im going with this. While those things are nice pluses, they dont affect the gameplay or the quality of the actual hardware and the console itself. Those extras are mostly more money tagged to the console, hence why the PS3 was roughly $600 (In America) on launch. Edited by VelvetLightning, Feb 27 2011, 08:10 PM.

Mics are great for going over strategies on all types of games. Not just FPS. Yes, nintendo CAN fix their online by adding an ACTUAL online interface, and an overall better system of communication. I've played PS3 black ops A LOT and i have yet to see any 12 year olds. literally none. what you said was just a lie. the wii will never be taken seriously as a gaming console. I used to be a huge nintendo fan. I loved the fuck out of my gamecube, and i was expecting the same amounts of awesome from the wii. and that never happened /= |

I think i'm going to walk away from this one. No 12 year old (Or any other age ranging from 11-14) on Black Ops being little bitches about everything? You obviously never played any Call of Duty game. CHILDREN like you should not even be playing Black Ops. Its a mature rated title, and your parents are either pushovers or stupid for buying it for you, because you can not buy it yourself. And why would Nintendo waste time and money fixing Online services that the publishers of games can fix themselves? Plus there are very few games with online anyway, so its not worth the time. Bitch at the game producers, not Nintendo. The Wii will not be taken seriously as a gaming console? Now i was trying to be nice-ish about everything, but you can take your 12 year old ignorant ass and go to a forum where fanboys unite. This is the last time i post back to you, because you are not worth explaining anything more to. Edited by VelvetLightning, Feb 27 2011, 08:19 PM.

Exactly, the Wii was innovative. It may not be as innovative anymore because of the recent advances in motion gaming and such, but it still had a great impact on the gaming industry and as I said before, there's more to a games console than its technology. This list wasn't created solely based on each console's technology, if it was, then the PS3 probably would've been at number one and the NES would've been closer to the end of the list. The NES wouldn't be able to handle games like "Uncharted", "Little Big Planet" and "Call of Duty", but oh look, it's number one. As Ice said...

I'm 15. The titles is from a 4chan meme. I thought people would get that ![]() so stfu velvet you don't know what your talkiing about. @Riddle- I really don't know how to get this though to you. I WAS NOT baseing it on technology- the NES deserves #1 because it has tons of amazing games on it. You really need to stop trying to prove me points when you don't quite know what i'm getting at. The wii has nowhere near the amount of good games the NES had. the nes was amazing. the wii isnt. simple as that. The wii deserved around #20 if you ask me /= Edited by lulz ensure, Feb 27 2011, 08:25 PM.

You know i take it back. I'll reply one more time. I'm 18 years old. I have a high school diploma. I'm obviously more intelligent than you. And i know what I'm talking about. Unlike you. Now go fuck yourself. And talk to me when you acquire a brain. (I.e. Don't reply to me.) |
