-It is different
-Aims to change something
-Pushing forward and revolutionizing the way we play
-Anyone can pick up and play
-Has the largest list of third party games (i base that on absolutely nothing)
-Mario
-Zelda
-Metroid
-Let's you play games from past systems (FULL Backwards compatibility)
-Large and expansive download shop

-Lets you play games from past systems from Nintendo and other companies.

(DISCLAIMER: I am not saying the other systems aren't good also.)

Re: Why Wii is the best console.

I like xbox 360 myself, I'm a sucker for good graphics and better games.

Besides I think it's the game that matters more than the console. I'm just saying that you're playing the video game, the console is just a way of playing it. Just like art, where the style it's expressed in is just that, a style.

Besides what do you hope to accomplish besides a flame war with rapid ps3 fanboys?

Re: Why Wii is the best console.

Based on reviews, the Wii has more 10/10 games than any other console, but it's average game review is much lower than an average PS3 or Xbox 360 game.

What I find really stupid is that 5 years ago when all three consoles came out(about), the Wii already had motion controllers, and PS3 and Xbox 360 criticized Wii about that. Now, when they finally got the technology, there's the PS3 Move and Xbox Kinect. I ahve to give it to Nintendo for being innovative unlike Microsoft and Sony.

Re: Why Wii is the best console.

i prefer xbox 360 games and graphics, however I think most people can agree that the wii is definitely great for games that you can play in a big group, and it revolutionized the gaming industry, inspiring kinect and the playstation move.

Re: Why Wii is the best console.

The Wii is cool, but it's graphics are about on par with a PS2 (Yes, Playstation 2, not 3).

Still you have too give them credit for being innovative with the Wiimote, and taking a risk by breaking from the "More Powerful is Better" train.

(This is coming from a owner of a end-of-2008 Wii, and a mid-2010 Xbox 360.)

I own a 360 and I love it, but it's just an upgrade from the original xbox.

the Wii is something COMPLETELY different from previous nintendo consoles.

Here's the thing. The soul of gaming is the games, but without hardware, games would be 1's & 0's floating out in nowhere; that's why we have consoles, and thus, console wars.  smile  Just saying

That is almost exactly what I meant.

Myself, I enjoy the Xbox 360 more than the Wii, but both are awesome.

Re: Why Wii is the best console.

I'm not so much amazed that I can move the remote and it will respond, now that I'm older.

But the games are still fun!  big_smile

Re: Why Wii is the best console.

In my opinion, Gamecube and Nintendo 64 are the greatest consoles.

Wii is too oriented towards little kids. Very few of the games are actually good.

Most people only like Xbox for the "excitement" of shooting games.

Re: Why Wii is the best console.

Overall, out of all consoles, I would have to go with N64 for best games, and Gamecube for biggest improvement and innovatory leap.

Very true.
I must say though that the name "wii" is a lot more creative then the "move". I can just imagine sony's boringest brainstormers sitting around a table saying "ok you guys we are thinking of a name for the new item for the ps3 that we are ripping off from the wii. dude what do you do when you are playing the wii? Moving! Man that is perfect the move!" fail

...and the hundreds of HD arcade games for free or very little money (Castle Crashers, LIMBO, I made a ga3m w1th zombiez in1t, Toy Soldiers, Doritos Crash Course, Soul Calibur 6, Super Meat Boy [Rhy plays it], the original Street Fighter, Small Arms etc)

the fighting games (Tekken, Marvel vs Capcom, Street Fighter, DC vs somfin)

the RPGs (Fable, Kingdon Under Fire and such)

the racing games (Test Drive Unlimited, Burnout, Need for Speed, Full Auto etc.)

the family games (1 vs 100, various board games)

the zombie games (Dead Space, Left for Dead etc)

horror games (Alan Wake etc)

Kinect (which doesn't have any really good stuff on it because it just came out)

And various other games I don't know the genre of

Videos and demos of games yet to be released

You can burn your music into the hard drive and watch music videos

You can have face to face chats with people online

Facebook and Twitter and ESPN and Netflix and Zune

It has a giant shop of movies and whole seasons of shows

Your statement has been crushed.

Btw I love the Wii. I'm fixing to get more games for it soon, including the new Metroid, the new 007, and the new Zelda.

Oh god...DON'T get the new Goldeneye game if that's what you're referring to. Why? It has oh so horrible Daniel Craig. What happened to Pierce Brosman?!?

Re: Why Wii is the best console.

The Wii isn't built to have good graphics. Never was. The main purpose of it was motion controls
And i hate people who like a game/system just because it has good graphics
Good graphics dont make good games
Graphics is only 1/4 of the puzzle

The others are gameplay, story, and if the game is worthwhile.

For me, Gameplay is at the top, followed closely by storyline, down below is graphics, and being worthwhile is a combination of factors, including the previous 3 things I mentioned.
