I can only laugh at one of the reasons now being brought out for the wii not being a competitor being lack of hd/blu-ray.

I'm sure you all remember without me bothering to look for threads how a console did not need a next gen drive, until the hd-dvd addon for the 360 was announced of course.

i dont care that the wii is selling well, in fact im kind of glad its outselling the ps3 as it shows the fanboys the ps3 wasnt going to be the big hit they thought

the xbox has already been and gone, it was last years news so comparing sales with that is pointless, any sales of the xbox now are just a bonus

may be selling well but wittout big titles, next gen graphics/AI, decent online features and HD/Blu ray player it is not going to knock the PS3 or 360 off number 1 spot.




Granted, it doesn't have the power of the XBox, doesn't have a DVD drive or a Blu Ray player, but it can compete in the game stakes and I don't think you can say it doesn't have big titles.

Lacks online features? It has full internet access, has the Virtual Console for downloading Nintendo and Sega games and has online capable games coming out, Mario Strikers and Pokemon Battle Revolution.

Zelda : Twilight Princess
Mario Strikers Charged Football - With online play
Tiger Woods PGA Golf
Driver : Parallel Lines
Prince Of Persia : Rival Swords
Godfather : Blackhand Edition
Call Of Duty 3
Medal Of Honor : Vanguard
Resident Evil 4 : Wii Edition
Scarface : The World Is Yours
Final Fantasy
Madden NFL 08
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Paper Mario
Super Smash Brothers Brawl
Resident Evil : Umbrella Chronicles
Splinter Cell

Fair enough some out on 360 but all have been adapted for Wii controls.

If your an argumentative geek who loves stats then 360 is definately the one for you

Otherwise, get whatever you want as I think everybody is sick of hearing about it

Loks at all the 360 fan boys in this thread

It is a competitor and Nintendo have proved its not all about graphics, online gaming and what not!

Fair play to Nintendo, if i had to buy a console now and had an unlimited budget i would still get the Wii.

To be honest there both a flop imo

they both have there fair share of issues / faults and what not, the Wii is simple, not designed to be anything special and its outselling them.

Nintendo found the whole in the market, filled it and now are storming the market.

nintendo only use figures sold not figures shipped like sony do.

the wii is not targeted at children is has been desinged to attract a wide spectrum of gamers, from those hardcore games to children to casual and older gamers.

hence the wide range of games coming out yes a lot of iddy titles but also a lot of titles aimed towards older games, manhunt 2? ect (yes i know its banned but its still coming out for it).

how can it not be a direct competitor, its a games machine, so is the 360 and the ps3.

although i do agree a lot of people will have it as an addition to one of the other consoles, my self the same.

i dont think people put enough faith in the games, nintendo has consisently over and over again come out with the best games ever created, this will continue to do this.

as for games selling more on other conoles, well the games sales are already excellent on the wii, but wait till the big hitters come out.

pokemon
metroid prime 3

ect.

also there is more money to be made on wii, hence why a lot of 3rd party developers are jumping ship to the wii or at least turning there attension more towards it.
