You think a Wii would be better than a PS3?

because so many Wii units have been sold, more gaming companies are creating games for it. With the poor sales of the ps3 as well as the complexity of the system, youll start to see more and more gaming companies ignore the ps3. Perhaps in 2 or 3 years when the ps3 technology gets cheaper and game companies can realize games that take advantage of the technology there will be more games. But by then, it will be too late. Plus, Blue ray is out... HD DVD is going to win. What makes me say that? the porn indusry adopted HD DVD as their new standard. Enough said. =-)

I love my Wii. Still finishing up Zelda. Just keep bugging gamestop and stuff. That's where I got mine. They get a new shipment weekly.

[LeonStryfe]

350 + shipping eh? lol you can find a Wii in just about every Best Buy or Nintendo Center

[BLINKYxMUNKEY]

I have one and love it. Worth it!

[vsideboy]

all the games i have seen look very very childish. if you like that kind of party-game then go for it.

the adverts in the uk are a bit pathetic, games seem to consist of spraying champagne at people, blowing up balloons and lifting dumbbells.

ok if you have mates round for some beers but if would soon get very boring playing alone or without beer.

[orvillescelica]

all the commercials are aiming to show off the wii's party box apeal because they are trying to reach a larger audience. But for the core gamers, no one will dispute Zelda as one of the best games out. And for the next year youll have Metroid Prime 3, the next GTA installment, the next resident evil installment, and a horror game called "sadness" which will be the first game on the Wii to recieve an "adults only" rating.

[tomazws]

mmmm... I heard GTA.... I wonder how GTA plays in Wii...

[amysmojo]

ITS SO WORTH IT

your gonna wee yourself when you play

[FreddyTheOthaMea...]

360 ftw

[celicaST]

360 ftw

[FreddyTheOthaMea...]

its all about the gears of war baybeee

[celicaST]

its all about the gears of war baybeee

no no no, you got it all wrong man, its all about vegas. gow is one of the most overrated games this year imo

I dunno man, havent tried vegas yet.. i had to chose either vegas or lost planet and went lost planet (pretty good game too) but long story short, GOW single player is aight but online is where it really rocks IMO.. cant beat blowin someones head to bits with a close quarters shot gun blast

[Toyoca]

pst...you can get vegas on your pc so thats not a good point imo

360 ftw

lol... PeeCee FTW!

These are the simulations (ok fine... games) I have in my PC:

F1 Challenge '99 - '02 (EA) - The most realistic simulation ever. I still CAN'T master racing in the rain...
NASCAR Racing 2003 Season (Papyrus) - Old game, but it still holds the standard for racing simulations.
Colin McRae Rally 2005 (Codemasters) - Must have, rain dirt mud.. you name it, the game has it.

[sinner96ST]

i think the 360 wins in most respects, only due to the fact that it's been out longer than the other 2 contending consoles. microsoft has had time to perfect the system, and right now is the best time to really showcase the power of the system cause developers are starting to really crank out quality titles.

the wii is really innovative, interesting, and fun. i wouldn't recommend playing it alone, though. the console really shines when you've got multiple people in wii sports. there aren't tons of games out for it, but this year will either make or break the console depending on how good the new metroid/mario/ssb will be.

the playstation 3 was hyped to be some great system, and it turned out to be a giant flop. you'll meet fanboys of the system who swear up & down it's the greatest thing in the world, while developers/important people in the business/everyone else keep saying it's a piece of crap. it should've been 100x better than what consumers got, and i'll never buy another sony product for as long as i live because of how they handled the launch.

[Rayme]

My friends has Wii's...and its pretty fun lol... I just can't wait for about a year from now to see all the cool game coming out using the controller in different ways. xbox and ps3 will just be more of the same..just looking better.

My other friend has a xbox 360 and gears of war is a really nice game too.

[amysmojo]

[amysmojo]

ha do it! ill do it too... lets see who can make the best version

[NgoFcukinWay]

You're on! I just need to go get my Wii back from my gf. lol

[orvillescelica]

Wii is definatly worth it. Its by far the best console if you have friends over, and the innovative gameplay in the single player games like zelda really make the console stand out. If you are had core gamer though, id go 360 for now and Wii later. The 360+wii combo seems to make the hardcore gamers happier than just the ps3.

OMG! Amy! i forgot you had a Wii, ill PM you my wii # and we can trade mii's!

[NgoFcukinWay]

are you guys connected online Via the WiFi connection, or through the li'l extension they have where you can insert a Cat5 cable to get connected?

[celicadude04]

I ended up getting a Wii a couple weeks ago. I have to say the Wii Sports game that it came with is really fun. As far as being connected to the Internet, I'm using Wi-Fi because there's no ethernet port on the Wii. If you want to directly connect a Cat 5 cable you have to buy a special adapter.

I just got my wii this morning...its awesome!! I got trauma center:second opinion too...awesome game!

[BLINKYxMUNKEY]

I've had my Wii, but been having trouble getting online. It's a thing between a certain modem/router from Linksys, Comcast, and Nintendo. It's just strange.

[celicadude04]

I was having trouble getting online too, so i called Nintendo and they told me to update the firmware on my Linksys router. After that everything work perfect.

[LeonStryfe]

exclusive 6gc Nintendo Wii meet when the online games comes out. lol
