And i tot this topic should be dead by now... who the bad boy bring this back up lol

Relax neogeocdz, they are all pros and cons in every progression of each single console.

I just finished some ps3 games yesterday, those tops games rated above 9.0 from most rating site.

Sometimes, i wonder, what make the other console games much more appeal to me than those games in wii. (Must stress this, very personal opinion here). For me, i think is the production of the game. Let's look at 2 different games, MGS4 (PS3) and Mario Galaxy(wii). Both are very high rated game for eachh platform, played differently and had beed exclusive for their respective cnsole.

Now you might think MGS4 is much more fun cause its come from an HD console? Not really, i dont find MGS4 really that appealing in sense of gameplay, etc. same goes to Mario galaxy. But then, is up to individual taste.

I am not a MGS fans, never like stealth games, and I am not mario fan too, never really like the mario gameplay too (SMG or mario paper). But when picking a game which you might not like (Say you dont have much games to play anymore), i will go for MGS4 all the way. At least by watching the cinematic worth every penny i paid for that game. That just again my personal view.

Fans will always support each of their console, put the fans aside, we got ourselves with people who prefer what they will enjoy in each of their game.

And for the last time, the question for why wii dominate? How wouldnt they dominate? THey are meant for everybody. Ps3/xbox360 are mostly meant for gamers, but wii? Is meant for everyone..... Imagine wii as the rice cooker, is started to become a dominating household appliances. smile.gif Kudos to wii for their success, I already stop thinking about wii trying to get mature or adult or aggresive games, as long as wii continue to serve it purpose, we all can hope 3-5 years from now, there is at least a toy/videogame console which is suitable for our beloved children smile.gif

Jenniferjen...u're like me..we both bought the wii first but then migrated to the ps3. nod.gif Why? Coz i think my reason is the same as u n i need not elaborate further. I still keep the wii n wait for some decent title to my liking comes along again (eg: like RE4, zelda n metroid smile.gif )

@neogeo,
yes..u do look that tense laugh.gif

OK OK, I will cool down cool down....

I goes by a different road, I first bought my Wii, then went on to get 360 for Halo 3,
and now i find i spent more time on Wii. (Blame animal crossing!)

i would've gotten a 360 jasper too to complete the circle...but now expecting a baby..so put that thought on hold sweat.gif

i think the term hardcore and casual is misleading...it's more towards bunuh2 themed gamer biggrin.gif

the term is always being misused...for me hardcore means u play games sampai keras no matter what type game it is. laugh.gif

To me, those blu-ray2 stuff are just gimic. U buy a gaming console to play games, not for the blu-ray thing. And yes, third party support is indeed improving, take Monster Hunter for instance, they launched all thier games on the PSs, but now they are launching Monster Hunter 3 just for the wii. Atari also said they won't be developing games for Sony anymore. So as capcom(after RE5, but thats a rumor, dunno true or not)

for pokai ppl like me...i want all things possible in one laugh.gif

for the plus reasons:
i bought the wii so that i can play all the NGC game i never got to play...i bought the ps2 b4 coz it can play the dvd...i bought the ps1 coz it can play the vcd (modded to do it of coz), i bought psp coz i can play my old ps1 games again (err ok la other multimedia stuff on the go as well) and i buy the ds for its cool homebrew and also the multimedia stuff and not just gaming alone.

But that is just me...i'm greedy nod.gif

U want DVD, go buy a DVD player, so cheap, cheaper than PS2, RM100 over, some even below 100 and the video quality better summore. U wan VCD, if u got DVD player, can watch VCD also, if u wan play PS1, i rather play it on a PC emulator.
dude...i was talking about when THE TIME that thing got out. When PS1 was out (mid 90s above), the vcd player is expensive laa...so does when the ps2 was out (late 90s), the dvd player is expensive too. If I was talking about the present...of course those things are cheap (the vcd and the dvd player...but the bluray is still not). doh.gif If u're talking about the present, why in the world would i buy the ps1 now to play vcd?

The point is...at any particular point of time a console was out...of course I'm looking for something that can give me more and not just as a gaming machine.

agree on this...

those who said nitendo users are happy with the current wii libraries of games, go check out gaming forums (particualrly on wii music)...
i for one nvr said wii sucks but all the flames indicate i do?
i jz said there's more of casual games flooding the market compared to the games that must wii owners wanted...
again check the online gaming forums...
i jz posted wut i read over there...
if u guys think that there is enough games on wii now, others still think otherwise and no point flaming them on that...
u CAN'T FORCE PEOPLE to like something...
there's way lots of nitendo fans out there and u are jz one of the fans...

i've even posted being optimistic for great games to come back to the old fans and YET i sitll get flames on the whole matter...  doh.gif

all i see is fanboys coming in bashing here and there jz to defend their consoles when there is no direct attack on the console in the first place...

ps: GT5 prolouge is much more than demo... its by far as polished as any other racing games up there and constantly being updated online... heck its content is even more than some released games on the market...

ps v2: go check out the list of 3rd parties game on the ps3 with decent to good review...

ps v3: look at this year's gaming awards for the wii platform...
*
actually in a fanboy thread..one must ALWAYS act like this..."MY CONSOLE ROCKS!! UR CONSOLE SUCKS!!" u can't bash a particular console even if u're still owning and experiencing that console urself nod.gif sweat.gif

Remember...not a single bad word about it!

Just live with it..that is just the way a fanboy thread works nod.gif

ya the fanboyism of this thread is getting worse while they are still claiming to be in matured discussion...
*
ya..i'm just confused...coz I own the wii, I love my wii...my only complaint is that of late...i didn't enjoy it as much after RE4, Zelda and No More Heroes came out. That is similar to my complaint about the psp b4 that it lacks the game i like after God of War and Crisis Core (dissidia? ermm hv to wait n see..but am looking forward to Kingdom Hearts and that Killzone game). It's the same complaint which is about games...not the console. doh.gif

Just because some of us wii owner here complaint about it doesn't mean we don't like it as a whole.

Who would be happier if the console i own hv more games to my liking? I AM!

Though, I agree..between my Wii n my DS, i like my DS more nod.gif

ya..like i said previously on ninty's thread...nintendo did a good job of identifying this target group. smile.gif

So i think, if some ppl are not really into wii, it's because they're not in the target group. Just face it, parents hv more buying power compared to the kids...and when it's come to giving out gifts..they are also the most generous ones.

U don't see many friends gave away that amount of money to another friend let alone buying a friend a game console...but as a parent, grand parent, uncle...etc...money is not really an issue...and when coming out to get the console..of course the nintendo types of games and controls caught their attention the most smile.gif

Also need to remember that Parents / Grandparents picked up hints from the kids / teenagers.
Marketing researchers call this the "Letter's to Santa" moment,
so the kids / teenagers are actually the one calling the shot for Christmas presents.

Parents don't just watch Oprah Winfrey and decided to get a Wii for their kids Christmas.

yeah..nowadays...not just oprah, Ellen Degeneres also promotes Wii nod.gif

Nintendo also manages to successfuly reach out to the female gender too which b4 this, a rare species of gamer (they exists but not many going to the console) smile.gif

Even my wife who was a non gamer b4 this is liking the wii n ds...that's why nintendo dominate smile.gif
