Author Topic: The Wii: A System that will revolutionize gaming to a whole new level. (Read 10073 times)

If the title of this topic is true, then why do I hear so many people online say that it will fail? Are the games too kiddy? Or are a lot of "mature" gamers out there the kind that think that only playing GTA and other titles of that nature make them mature? Or that playing any game with a bright background makes them gay? Then you have the fanboys. This is self explanatory. The guys that say "This system will suck because it's from this company." I don't get it. Wii Tennis looks like a total blast, it actually brings you into the game. I have a friend who got one, and he says it's amazing. I have another friend who's maybe getting one for Christmas. Needless to say, I think I know where I'll be spending some time over break. Anyway, I think I just gave myself a big reason to go and buy one...if I had the money. So, enjoy the Wii.

I think it's still the traditional Nintendo stereotype.

They said that about the Gamecube too. I've been able to ignore most of it.

What are we supposed to be talking about?

Yeah, not to bash Wii or you, but this topic will only lead to fanboyish PS3 and 360 bashings and stuff. And what's this "Will fail" business? It's already out and has left Sony in the dust, statistically.

That's because Nintendo shipped more Wiis than Sony shipped Playstation 3's.

I don't understand it, either.

Who is saying it will fail? It's sold out everywhere, and all the developers love it.
And everyone online seems to love the games so far.
And it's already been out for almost two weeks. People know it's good already.
I don't understand the point of this topic.

Jman, you really need to think before you post. Most of the time your posts add next to nothing to wherever you're posting them. I don't mean to insult you, just giving a little friendly advice.

yeah, this was just a thought I had one night. I guess it didn't need its own topic. I think I am losing my luster. I've run out of good quotes for the "things the Mario characters would never say" topic.

Edit: Some idiots on Youtube were spouting crap about how Wii was going to fail. I guess I shouldn't worry, though. Those people shouldn't be allowed to have opinions.

1) Don't post anything that is "just a thought I had one night".

2) Everyone can have their own opinions. The problem as Scott Adams put it is that we don't have "the knowledge of who is smarter than ourselves on any given topic".

I've got a new catchphrase.

Wow, at my lowest point, I gave someone something. This isn't the first time I've posted "a though I had one night" though. Remember the 9/11 threads?

I can't predict whether it will "fail" or not, but the Wii seems to be selling well so far. And the only negative comments I've read about it were that anything involving "power" (such as graphics, hard drive space, etc.) were too primitive compared to the XBox 360 and PS3. That does not worry me so much, though. Nevertheless, I just do not want the Wii to end up being an overall disappointment.

In the end, I want a Wii no matter what.

I would think that unless they start to spontaneously explode during bowling after a month, there is no way the Wii will be a total let down. After selling as well as it has already, it's on the edge of impossible to fail.
