Exactly. Cheaper+more user friendly=WIN!


It is not more user friendly. It is marketed that way, but it is not.


But it is! The web is flowing over with stories about non-gamers
picking it up and playing (and buying it for themselves later because
they love it).

The Wii had fales advertising. They made it appear as if it was a new
system.


It is a new system,


In names only.


No, definitely not. It's got an innovative new control system that
puts the other consoles to shame.

and Nintendo has never focused on the graphics for Wii,


Yeah, because they are the same graphics found on it's previous system.


That's just the first generation of games. As you yourself admitted,
the first generation of 360 games looked sucky too. So according to
you, 360 is a scam because it couldn't deliver better graphics right
away.

You can't sell a system telling people that, so they just kept quiet about that.
On all of their other systems, the specs were put out there and were a main
selling point.


And now they are not focusing on them because they are not what's
important.

so there's no false advertising. You just wish it was because Wii is kicking
360's ass


How do you figure? The 360 sold more than the Wii and it's not new.


Exactly. It has sold more *because* it is not new. But Wii is closing
in, and it has only been out for a short period of time! What a slap
in the face of Microsoft :-D

I do not see any Wii games on the horizon


Uh, there are plenty of Wii games on the horizon. Your employer is
just paying you to pretend that there are no games :-D

What a basic flat panel city?


You must be sick. You are sick.



Sick? The graphics in GTA *are* basic. compare them to Gears of War to
see what I mean. I played the ps2 version so there is a difference.


Lit very well but with slowdown and pop


up.



Well I played it on a PC... So I had no slowdown.

Hot hot hot.

Sales, as you Nintendo people love pointing at, prove it to have been hot.
How come sales don't matter for GTA?


"Nintendo people?" I never said sales didn't matter for GTA. But they
certainly don't make it a 'hot' game. I quite GTA as a matter of fact,
but found the gameplay a bit sluggish and broken in parts.

BS name calling of your own image does not win

Oh, the argument was won long ago. Before Wii was

launched you
said
that it would certainly fail, but it didn't.






It did ok, but you must wait for a period of one year in ored to


determine


if it was truly a hit. The Dreamcast sold and was a hit, then it


folded.



It did 'OK'? It's been one of the most (if not the most) sucessful


launces


in console history. You are such a gaylord.




Stop being homophobic. ...

The Wii is the biggest scam in videogame history. It may even outdo the
Atari Jaguar.


I'm not being homophobic. You're a gaylord plain and simple. All you

do is
cry and carry on like the Xbox is a piece of jewellery.



Actually, I could give a damn if you dislike gays, I just wrote that
because the last time I mentioned something negative about gays, some
cocksucker sprung that on me. You know the 360 is hot! If the Wii were
hot, I would have bought one.




I don't dislike gays at all. 'Gaylord' just means you are the lord of
all gays. It's descriptive and it suits you.

Us Nintendo guys will go back to rescuing girls from evil overlords. You
can go back to your pitch and watch eleven jocks grunting and bashing
their helmets together. Great fun as your previous posts testify.

Then if the 360 is hot, why is the Wii -- which admittedly is less
sophisiticated than either the 360 or the PS3, but is comparatively easy
to manufacture than either -- so hard to find, when the 360 and the
PS3 can be found on store shelves in copious quantities?

Come on. GOW is state of the art and a NEW game. GTA III(I assume that is
what we are talking about) is an older game, but the grpahics ar still very
nice. Trying to bring up GOW is like comparing GOW to Virtua Fighter 1!

How about comparing GOW to any Wii game? How about comparing GTA III to any
Wii game?


I played the ps2 version so there is a difference.

So then, the Wii and the DS are not hot by that logic. You do realize
that you are all alone in that thinking right?

Well you must be young because I saved the same old princess too many times.
How many more times does Nintendo expect us to do that without getting
bored? That football game is what you people are betting on to help save
your BS system.

If it's a scam, then why is everyone loving it?


I never heard reports of anyone LOVING it. It sold, BECAUSE people got
scammed! That is what a scam is. The games will reveal the scam to the
ignorant...


Oh, and why the hell are you still inserting your signature above
everything else? Did your boss at Microsoft tell you to do so?

If you say so. I feel no shame.

One big difference. With the 360's specs, I knew it had the potential for
greatness, but I was dissapointed that I saw nothing great at the time.
With the Wii's specs(what we know of them anyway. Nintendo is ashamed of
them), we know the limits of the system and that is has no potential to be
great. At best, it could look like the finest PS2 games.


You can't sell a system telling people that, so they just kept quiet
about that.
On all of their other systems, the specs were put out there and were a
main
selling point.


And now they are not focusing on them because they are not what's
important.


No, because it is shameful to admit that the Wii is Wiik. The graphical
track reocrd of Nintendo is what I go by, not some made up BS to have an
excuse as to why they did not come out with anything new. I mean, it's not
as if that controller will last for 5 years worth of games!


so there's no false advertising. You just wish it was because Wii is
kicking
360's ass


How do you figure? The 360 sold more than the Wii and it's not new.


Exactly. It has sold more *because* it is not new. But Wii is closing

That's stupid. You know that my point was that the 360 sold more and did
not make the news with all of the stunts that Sony and Nintendo pulled, and
it still outsold the Wii. The Wii only sold what it sold from half-assed
stunts and because it was new. The news systems should outsell the old.
You know this. You alos knew that the PS3 would sell the least before any
system came out. The 360 still sold more without BS stunts or heavy ads.


I do not see any Wii games on the horizon


Uh, there are plenty of Wii games on the horizon. Your employer is
just paying you to pretend that there are no games :-D


Show me the games. Then show me the mind blowing games. I will give ten
years to do it.

You really are stupid. It's not 'hot' because it sells, it's 'hot'
because it's fun. Jeesus.

What and American Football isn't the same thing over and over again? And
to top it off you can do it in real life. Nintendo use their pixels to
create fantasy. You only appear to like games which portray plastecine
like recreations of jocks.
