Link, maybe? That would help very much.

Also, try to make your OP a bit more descriptive.

I think reloadmachine means they're coming out with the Wii 2 or nobody plays Wii :P

I think he's making a shade of an obscure reference to the upcoming "Wii 2: The HD Revenge", and how the console will be losing title support due to it being "last gen" (weird, i know, as Microsoft and Sony show no signs of producing a new console for a good while) despite that, I am a bit iffy on this new console, and look back on the 4 good games of the Wii's era with some happiness. If they can bring in an excellent console POkemon game that follows the same basic structure of the handheld versions, they've got me sold

The wii sold 30 million more units than the 360 and PS3 that both sold about 50 million.

Highly unlikely people didn't buy the Wii for the gimmick they bought it for quality hardware and triple A games from Nintendo. Kinetic and Move are exactly that, a poor gimmick.

You do know that the general public is probably on average casual gamers?

Also the Wii come out with a lot of good games and a fair amount of Nintendo games. This generation got to see the amazingness called Mario galaxy 1 & 2. That alone is worth the purchase. But there are tons of others games, one of my favorites was No more heroes. A top notch game for anyone who likes amazing games.

Enough money? You do know the reason why they aren't selling anymore is because everyone who wanted one has gotten one already? You can't sell if you have no more customers since they aren't going to buy your system again.

(weird, i know, as Microsoft and Sony show no signs of producing a new console for a good while)


I don't see any proof of them not going to produce a console for a good while. Trust me in a year or two they are going to go full steam ahead on then new iteration. There are cycles in this industry that becomes apparent if you watch it.

Before i address this, i want to say that you're a sad sap for being a nintendo fanboy, who listed 2 superb games and 1 eh game as part of teh elite's "Triple A" library. Just to prove you wrong, here are some Triple A games that made their way to the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3, but not the Wii.

Batman: Arkham Asylum
Portal 1 and 2
Half Life 2 (and the subsequent episodes)
Any Halo game
Any (good) Call of Duty game (all of them not on Wii due to hardware necessities)
Any good Tom Clancy game (HAWX, GRAW, End War, Splinter Cell, Rainbow six)
Any GTA or Saint's Row
Any of the two current-gen Fallouts
Oblivion, and Skyrim will not make its way to Wii either
Any Gears of War
Killzone 2 or 3
INfamous
Borderlands

...to name a few...

anyway, I have noticed something in this new industry called "The Seventh Generation of Video Game Consoles", update-ability. Microsoft last year just had a massive reworking of Xbox Live's interface, to make it a more enjoyable, accessable, and reliable, online platform. Sony's Playstation Network (rest in peace) does the EXACT SAME THING. The wii lacked the hardware capabilities to be able to do this, justifying the need for a new Nintendo console. I do agree that Playstation 4 and Xbox 720 will make it out before 2015 though, anything later would be a bit redundant.

Oh I'm sorry, is the Wii not good enough for you, ChillzMaster? Just because the Wii does not have these games listed does not mean it doesn't yield awesome games from its library. What is the difference between the games you listed and the games I'm thinking of? Your games have been shaped by popularity, advertising, and hype. Further still, it doesn't matter if the Wii lacks in hardware capabilities compared to the other Big 3 consoles. What matters are the games that are set in the library.

Really are you not able to read comments or the human emotion behind them? Did I say anywhere in my comment that the Wii is the best console in the world and anyone who doesn't buy one sucks? No, I don't think so I just offered an opposing view to a thread that had little.

I own and have played half the games that you listed and I love them. I see very little intellectual thought put out to creating a list that does not address anything anyone talked about in the thread. Seem you just got buthurt when someone gave an argument.

If we go to your profile your Wii code is
Wii: SUCKS ***
therefore you have an biased view of an perfectly good console. Therefore you're the poor sap who is the actually fanboy. I think the console are pretty equal unlike you.

Do you know anything about interface design? I don't think so because you don't need special hardware to improve it. Xbox and Sony both have problems in this area too since it doesn't rely on the hardware. Interface design is a whole branch of study that you broke down into saying that it is wholly dependent on hardware.
