I like the Wii more than the 360, and if not the same, than better than the PS3. It's all down to preference.

It's got its own library of great games, but in terms of features, it's a piece of ****. Can't do much other than game on it. It's got a web browser though :P Worst console this gen... if you're arguing based on features then yes definitely.

Consoles should just leave features to the PC. They're not even in the same league.

Wii has the best overall library in my opinion. And that's the most important thing about a video game console.

The Wii is aimed towards the non-gamer crowd and some old-school gamers that enjoyed the days of super mario bros and legend of zelda. Other than that, as a hardware powerhouse, it is not. It's a unique kind of gaming machine. This generation just wouldn't be the same if the Wii wasn't around despite the fact that I'm not so fond on motion controls. Somebody has to be different.

So? You are mistaken in your earlier post. This is System wars not console wars, and the PC is a system.

Yeah, in terms of features Wii has NOTHING compared to 360 and PS3. But then again, like somebody else mentioned, PC trounces 360 and PS3 easily. However if you take PC out of the situation (since most people agree that PC would automatically win too many categories anyways) then yes 360 and PS3 are in a totally different league in terms of features. But if we're arguing that the Wii is the worst "console" this generation, it depends on how you define a "console." Some people like to think about EVERYTHING, which would make Wii the worst console. However some people like to think purely about the games, which still puts Wii at a disadvantage because of the lack of good 3rd party multiplats and also Wii's lack of power. However the Wii's game libraries has its own strengths such as exclusive 1st and 3rd party games, really unique games, etc. So if you're ONLY looking at the game library then it could be arguable. Most people that own game consoles own PC's too, and a lot of the extra benefits that you get with a PS3/360 you can also get on a PC too, so that's another factor to consider. Overall though, if I was looking at only ONE video game console to buy, I would probably choose 360 or PS3. But if I was going to buy a 2nd game console I would probably lean more towards the Wii.

I wouldn't say the worst. I own all three and love the wii. It does have netflix and yes, you can watch videos(even though not very many). It's still a great console, just different:D. I just think if i wanna play some call of duty or halo, i use my 360 or mlb the show then my ps3, or some old school mario, thats when i play the wii.

Shouldn't the fact that it's still a fun gaming console be enough? It's supposed lack of online (never played online with it before) hurts it I guess, but all those other features are fluff and doable with a PC or through your cable company, or whatever.

ok this graphics debate is over it is well known that wii is not a power house nintendo said through a mic it wasnt ment to be does it have to be yelled in your ear this is not 2006

and secondly if you wanted graphics to begin with get a ps3 360 or pc

online play well its free , you know i wouldnt complain about nintendos first attempt because you didnt complain about xbox or ps2s first attempt at online

we all know it wasnt a bed of roses for them

=from microsoft forcing you to use a credit card and ps2 online almost dead for the most part,

so you get what you pay for honestly

you paid 199,99 for a wii -at launch 249 , if you bought yours at launch of course 249,

if hd was included wii would cost 349.99-500 (could be 600 , motion controls cost money to)

nintendo did not want to make the mistake sony made

so they didnt included hd , so what we still got awsome games

your complaining about 3 simple not so important features ,

sheesh ,if hd were so important ds or psp wouldnt selll at all in fact i dont think wii would be selling

you pay600 you get all the flash

you pay 300 you get half-appearently by sonys rules-no ps2 bc

you pay 199,99 you get only 4 gigs of memory

you pay 199 for a wii you get motion gaming and xbox 1 plus visuals ,

no hd you pay 1000 you get a good gaming rig its a simple known fact,

Correct. This whole blu-ray and everything else that is irrelevant to gaming should not be considered when determining which is the best console because they're irrelevant. Though hardware is very important, its software is most important.

Yeah,

Nintendo's really under-delivered in the features area this gen.

I mean you can't even playback regular DVDs on Wii or even playyour music properly on it. WFT is that all about!

It's got some cool features and some good games but it's so far behind in so many other ways, that I personally also think are important, that it's not even funny.

You misunderstand a game library is only important to cows and lems when it's ps3 vs 360 otherwise it doesn't count :)

Irrelevant to gaming anyways. Wii does have Netflix (now) Besides, if the Wii DID support dvds, there would be just as many complaints about wii not getting hd-dvd / blu-ray as there would be with the wii not getting any dvd support at all.

i dont think that was rly Nintendo's idea. Netflix themselves can voluntarly put their service on the Wii.

There are much better examples than Fable 3, there are about 15 Wii games released this year alone that are better than Fable 3. Demon's Souls... well I'd only say one Wii game is better... and it came out this year.

well, this is console wars and yes different consoles have different features... im just saying the wii is lacking what ps3 and xbox 360 has to offer... care to leave a comment worth reading? otherwise don't post pointless responses mr. i have 13541 posts.

You a gamer, or a feature...er? Pointless posts go hand in hand with a pointless thread. We all know, in terms of features: PC>PS3>360>Wii

You mean the one that does not exist yet ? How does that make Fable 3 any less exclusive to 360 right now ?

I won't agree with that but sheep want it both ways and its hilarious. They say if you care about good graphics and features then leave the Wii alone, don't bash it just play the other two. But as soon as it comes to sales or it gets a high scoring game they suddenly want to be in on the action.

But teh internets, weather, news, photo, voting channels? Internet is a PC function and the 360 (aka PC for your TV) doesn't even have that. Nintendo even promised DVD playback before Wii released. We're all gamers and they're all for gamers.

It is rather simple

Demons Souls and Fable 3 are the kind of games i like best, my best this generation

Then come games like Alan Wake, Gears, Halo, Mass Effect 1-2, Fable 2, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Tales of Vesperia, Castlevaniaetc

And future ones like Gears 3, Mass Effect 3, Project Draco, Project Dark !!!!!, Dragon Age 2, Bioshock Infinite !!!!etc

Wii has nothing like them, so by default is my least important system

And that, without counting the lack of multipltforms, good online, HD, Kinect next gen controls, the dissapointing Zelda TP etc
