Name is ghey. But HB's points are irrelevant.

1. Oh no! Almost as if the Mario series isn't intended to be grimy and realistic
2. See above
3. You heard the cover for a game looked cartoony so it's a bad console?
4. Not at all. You obviously haven't played many good Wii games.
5. What?
6. Oh god a bad game means the console is awful, not the people who developed the game
7. Oh god a game you think is creepy means the console is awful.
8. Avoidable
9. 11 % of what are good? The games? Yeah I agree. The platform has been spammed with 'PARTY GAME 36445' and 'DANCEATHON 935' etc. But the good games are damn good.

Just my views ;)

In my opinion, the Wii is overrated. Here's why:
1. Its siguature racing game-Mario Kart Wii-is childish compared to Gran Turismo 5(PS3) and and Forza Motorsport 4(360.)
2.It does not have sim racers, as the rivals do.
3.I heard that the cover of a Madden Football game for it was cartoonish.
4.The games for it are very easy.
5.A new Wii player can have sorness.
6.There is a NASCAR game for it called NASCAR Kart Racing and it is the worst NASCAR game ever.
7.The game Wii Music is a little creepy.
8. It can injure TVs because someone might throw throw the Wiimote at it, shattering its screen.
9. 11 0/0 are decent, 89 0/0 are bad.

So just avoid buying this system and just buy a 360 or PS3.

O hai, I see you changed your avatar.  You had me going, for a minute I thought I was talking to someone intelligent.

1. Its signature racing game - Mario Kart Wii - is childish compared to Gran Turismo 5 (PS3) and and Forza Motorsport 4 (360)
   Matter of opinion. Besides, what's good about racing games anyway? No point basing an entire console off of one game
2. It does not have sim racers, as the rivals do.
   ...and?
3. I heard that the cover of a Madden Football game for it was cartoonish.
   ...and? Sports games suck
4. The games for it are very easy.
   As are the games for all modern consoles
5. A new Wii player can have sorness.
   And? They'll get used to it
6. There is a NASCAR game for it called NASCAR Kart Racing and it is the worst NASCAR game ever.
   In your opinion, which doesn't even count to my goldfish
7. The game Wii Music is a little creepy.
   In your opinion. I like the fact that it has a native music making program, though RYMTK is better
8. It can injure TVs because someone might throw throw the Wiimote at it, shattering its screen.
   lolpersoonification. Also, ever heard of the wrist strap?
9. 11 0/0 are decent, 89 0/0 are bad.
   ...what in the name of the holy flying BAGEL does that even mean?

So just avoid buying this system and just buy a 360 (ew RRoD, ew Kinect, not worth the stand it sits on) or PS3.
In short: Go look deeper


I hate home consoles, so I'm not even going to defend it, I just came in to set you straight

3 are unsubstantiated opinions

I can see where you're coming from, but you do have to remember that the Wii is made for a completely different audience than the Xbox 360 or the Playstation 3. Whilst the two others are targeted at the more hardcore gaming audience, with games such as Gears of War, Gran Turismo and the upcoming Forza 4 (I might be getting that. =D), the Wii is a much more family-oriented console, with more friendly games that have a "pick-up-and-play" quality to them, that the more simulation-style games don't have. You can see this in the average age ratings, most games on the Wii have a rating of 3, with the occasional 7, whereas some of the more popular games for the 360 and PS3 are up in the region of 16 and 18. So while you may think that the Wii is a childish and overrated console, I can guarantee that there are plenty of people in the gaming world who think otherwise.

I feel like quoting my previous post, in an effort to spite Hard Bot. Clearly, he wants us to attack him in an angry manner, and he has so far succeeded somewhat. So I propose we give him a metaphorical punch on the nose and, instead, have a reasonable, rational, and logical debate about the advantages and disadvantages of the Wii Entertainment System when compared to its two main console rivals in the videogaming market. =D

Alright, here's some points for the Wii:

1) Pioneered motion-sensitive gaming
2) Family-orientated console

...I have no other points. Someone add some please

3) Appeals to both the Casual and self-proclaimed Hardcore markets in several aspects of its gaming library

Reasons why it sucks (I will explain later):

Lots of shovelware
Good games are rehashes of classic games
The name
Online play is lousy

I agree with the bit on Shovelware- that's always been a problem, mainly how you get idiots who can't tell the good stuff from the crap  =/
 
But stating its name to be a reason why it sucked? What utter crap. It's like me hating the Playstation 3 because it's not King's Cross or Waterloo.

A console is nothing without good games.
