Both systems have their vices and virtues, both have different prices. There's no need getting heated up over it as long as you enjoy playing the system you bought. If you don't like it, get rid of it.

Well to be fair, the Wii offers a completely different gaming experience and a completely different take on what games are about and what makes them fun. Many people do find the Wii to be the best console of this generation because it appeals to them more so than the approach of Sony, MS or PC gaming.

This appeal is shown with the fact that Wii last I heard was just about to and probably has surpassed 360 in sales being the number 1 console of this gen.

Personally my tastes more align with MS, in that I prefer lengthy games with good storylines and atmosphere, while Nintendo thinks small simple, pick up and play games are more fun.

You may not like Wii's approach to gaming at all, but sadly we seem to be the minority as Wii is selling better than it's competition.

I plan to get a Wii eventually as well, as there is some games that do ocassionally appeal to me and there is the ocassional surprise game that you don't expect on a Nintendo machine (Eternal Darkness for instance)

just because its selling more doesn't make it better.

I don't think you are comprehending what I'm saying. OTHERS BELIEVE it's a better console, this is shown in sales. People wouldn't buy the console if they thought it was crap or thought one of the others was better. Sales don't prove superiority, they prove customer interest and perception about the consoles and right now Wii is leading. Just like DS is leading in handheld sales.

Seriously your own opinion that <insert console> doesn't make it a fact. Laughing at someone for believing Wii is the best this generation doesn't suddenly make it a false claim. The gaming community here seems more PS3/360 oriented and more reluctant or desire to talk about Nintendo systems. Perhaps it's the "kiddie" image Nintendo systems get perhaps it's other reasons but if you say go to Gamefaqs (an exponentially larger gaming community) that place is largely dominated by Nintendo fans.

i have yet to play the ps3 in a home setting although i have played demos on it at walmarts and best buys...i own a xbox 360 which i thoroughly enjoy...they both have their high points and low points and as far as the controller ps3 kills xbox imo, i feel that the controllers are just too large...but the reason why i feel that the xbox destroys both ps3 and the wii in sales in the simple fact of how important the internet is these days and thats xbox live is the best online gaming you can find right now...and as far as what was said about the wii earlier im assuming you dont play madden or fifa, cuz those kind of games are really crappy on the wii and its nearly impossible to put a fluid game together....I would hope that one day i could afford to get a ps3 to add with my xbox 360...but it just seems too expensive at the moment for my budget which was another reason why i went with the 360...i got the xbox pro for 349.99 whereas the ps3 is still 500+ i believe
