You couldn't be more wrong Axel. Your not a hardcore gamer if you prefer the Wii just because of the remote. Hardcore gamers like hardcore games. I am sorry but I too have a high end PC, Wii and 360. As stated before, the problem with the Wii is that the majority of the good games come from Nintendo. 3rd party games have been junk. Nintendo has admiited that 3rd party's don't get it. Nintendo's words not mine. The Wii remote was a great concept but nobody but Nintendo has a firm grasp. Majority of Nintendo's games are curbed towards the kiddy family crowd. Sorry but that is not hardcore gamer. I think it's you that doesn't understand what a hardcore gamer is. You obviously have a passion for the Wii. As stated before I own the Wii and like it. However, your claim that Wii's graphics even come close to the 360, PS3 or PC or laughable. The system never will approach the visuals of those systems. It's not even a competition. Don't even get me started on Wii sports games (like football and basketball). The word sucks doesn't even begin to describe those games when compared to other platforms. Sorry but the only reason Nintendo is #1 is because of the mass market family crowd. Nintendo was smarter then the rest at targeting that crowd. Nintendo is not a hardcore gaming machine and never will be. That's OK though. That's why I own more then one system so I can get the best of both worlds.
Wow. I think he really nailed it. We bought both the Wii and 360 and I have to say what he says is true for us. The kids play the Wii mostly and the "older kids" play the 360. The Wii is not a hardcore gaming machine. Anybody that says otherwise isn't a hardcore gamer. The 360 has much better games then the Wii and the only Wii games so far that seemed to hit it out of the park our Nintendo 1st party titles. Nintendo has admitted as much. As much as Nintendo has tried to shed the "kiddie" image...the Wii is just that. A mass market kiddie friendly family gaming machine. There is nothing wrong with that at all. We enjoy the Wii. The 360 and Playstation 3 audience is completely different.
The problem with your logic is that MS continually outsells the PS3 when games hit both systems. 3rd party titles go better on the 360 then the PS3. In addition. According to NPD the 360 is waxing the PS3 in software sales. The attach rate is also higher on the 360. In addition, hardware sales have spiked in almost every country since the price drop. There is nothing to indicate the 360 is dying. In addition, MS has sold more software on XBOX live then all PS3 titles combined. The PS3 needs to make a big push in it's install base or all the exclusives in the world won't matter. I would never count Sony out but clearly counting MS out is short sited in this generation.
lol. Typical Sony hype. What do you exect Sony to say? "Gee...we are getting are butts kicked in this generation....and we feel we should just give up. I don't see us over taking any of our competitors in 2009". Right.......his opinion means nothing. He is trying spin a positive outcome. By this time next year the PS3 could be done or doing exactly what he thinks. He doesn't know anymore then the rest of us how this will turn out. His "Warning" is being laughed out collectively right now by MS and Nintendo.
Network now...

Correction. I mean the 360 & PS3 Audience is completely different from the Wii.
