Existing Games / Re: Why the Wii is bad, childish and overrated.

*feels the need to post in this thread*
I wouldn't exactly call the PC a console for games. Sure, the ps3, 360 and other consoles can do all sorts of things now, but they are just to generally to play games. PC's on the other hand, are made to do several different things, not just games. Its more a platform to which games can be played on
I will agree to this 100% of the way. Sure, you make a game to make money out of it (most of the time), but if it was just made to make money, the game usually stinks like horse shiz. Other games that I have played, that were not just made for the money (amnesia, Doom, Sacred 2(the company went bankrupt from it, thats commitment)) were extremely awesume to play, as well as some well made free games (mostly RPG style games)
NOW, onto the topic of the wii. You either hate it or love it. I may be one of those hardcore gamers, coach potatoes as you say, but I still enjoy a good game on the wii. I don't have many titles on the wii (manly as I don't buy many games anymore) but the ones I have I rather enjoy, from Mario Kart, to Bakugan and Ultimate Alliance 2. And for you to care about graphics? sure they can make it more appleasing, but if you just go by graphics, then your not a real gamer, your just a walking money bag to the game companies. The Wii (last time I checked) has actually beaten both the PS3 and Xbox 360 in sales, and as much as most gamers won't admit it, owns the market. Apart from Blizzard (damn WoW).
Im not trying to shut down either the PS3 or Xbox 360, and even though I don't own either, or ever touched a PS3, I still enjoy a good MP game with the xbox over at friends place, and I am thinking about getting the PS3 for the latest R&C games (been too long ever since the ps2 was taken out of the loop). They are both great consoles in retrospect, but saying that the wii is bad, childish and overrated is just going a bit overboard
This is my console war view:
PC > PS3 > 360 > Wii

True, it is my opinion, but I have researched, and I have watched the gaming industry fall to its knees because its games are half-diluted to boost sales
