PS3>360>Wii, imo. Which is kind of ironic coming from me, seeing as I own both a Wii and 360, but no PS3...yet >_>

Then again, I don't really know too much about the actual hardware of any of the 3 systems. Hell, I'm really just saying this based off the games, and the fact that the ps3 has a built in blu-ray player. Oh, and the fact that everyone around me at this point seems to think the PS3 is better, and I just sort of..believe them ._.

As for those people who feel it necessary to run around the room, flailing their arms in the air while playing Wii...I'm one of those people. I'm not intentionally trying to make myself look like a total douchebag while playing, it just...sort of comes naturally.

I mean, I realize that a simple wave of the controller infront of the screen would suffice, but...y'know...
The only thing that the PS3 has going for it at the moment is the blu-ray player. Right now it's the best valued player you can get. But prices should drop on normal players so people won't even need to get a PS3. Everyone around you is obviously a dedicated fan, and while Sony may have some games lined up for next year, none interest me enough to purchase their console.

You know, there's only one game I have that requires any "flailing" and that's WiiSports. Anything else can be played just sitting back and relaxed, haha.
Said random gibberish has been abolished and the user banned. :D WHOO.

Wii is.. ehh. Some good games, but for the most part it seems there are more things interesting me on the 360 and PS3 these days. >_> Kinda sad, since I used to like, be in love with Nintendo.

It's that whole ~going for the casual market~ thing they're doing. Blagh.
Everyone wants the casual, it's making them buckets of money. I don't know why people think Nintendo has abandoned their err... more dedicated fans, I suppose. They've released heaps of good games and have more coming up. You all just like to moan and complain.

Besides, it's the third party support that's providing most of the shovelware and crap that we all despise - you can't blame Nintendo for that. No one blamed Sony when we saw it all on the PS2.
Personally, I think Nintendo is too high on themselves nowadays. xD;
They think because they've been successful for so many years, that they know what they're doing. Hopefully the response to the Wii brings them back to earth.
The response to the Wii has only been outstandingly positive o_o

My problem is that I don't personally like many of the first party Wii games I've played. I know Nintendo's made lots of fans happy by releasing big titles for almost all their franchises right away in the Wii's lifespan but... the ONLY game I have to Wii that I actually enjoy is Brawl. I thought Galaxy was disappointing, I thought Twilight Princess was disappointing. I haven't played any Metroid Prime but my brother told me not to bother because he didn't like it. I'm not even BOTHERING with Mario Kart because I despise the items system this day and how it tries to balance the game so no skill is involved. So while people play the "they've already released tons of good games, what are you complaining about?" card I never know what to say. Because I don't feel they've released many good games, but clearly I'm in the minority since I have to be the only person who didn't really like Galaxy very much, so my opinions are probably roughly the same for other games. :| I dunno. The Wii doesn't appeal to me at all and that disappoints me because it's the only console I originally wanted going into this generation.

heh, the one's I normally hear complaining are the Nintendo fans themselves. Everyone has different tastes though, and what people may think to be great games on other consoles (like shooters), I just find boring.

I might be wrong, but your brother enjoys playing FPS on the 360, right? I'm surprised he didn't enjoy Metroid Prime 3 since it's controls are just perfect for FPS. I mean, playing them on a controller has turned me off the genre so much, it's so... bad.

I don't know what it is about the Wii... the whole thing just turns me off. I don't know if it's lack of online (even Brawl, a game I would have killed to have gotten... I don't care for it), or lack of good games I like, or this or that. I got the 360 (CoD4, Oblivion, GRAW, etc), I got the PS3 (MGS4, SC4) and I look at at the Wii... and I'm like "Why even take the time and play?". I love Nintendo... but it's just pissed me off lately. And that might be it... I've kind of went anti-Nintendo. I used to support them, defend them... and the return payment I got was crappy online for the Wii, really no good games, and the lovely new DSi. Yea... I'm saving up for a second 360 to make myself happy.

Haha, these eggs are getting to people's heads. XD

On the DS Graphics,
I'm personally fine with them. o_O I think they're rather good, actually. I suppose they "could" be better, but am I having fun? Yes, and that's really what matters to me.

Agreed, but the plot could have been improved a bit, since I got a bit sick of that whole team that tries to make a legendary Pokemon appear ><.

o.o;; Not where I live. Everyone in my area hates the Wii with a passion. PS3 is the big thing over here. But that's only because of the awesome online network, and the fact that you don't have to pay for it [the online network, I mean]. But yeah, you're right; the Wii is doing pretty good for itself. That was just my opinion on Nintendo, judging by others around me.

Wii's huge here. o.o I remember in high school, soon after it came out, everyone thought it was the coolest ever whether they were into gaming or not. No one cared about other consoles.

At university, it's still enjoyed but I think more people prefer Xbox at my school. :/

Both systems are pretty big here, I guess. I don't really know to be honest. Damn this lack of social activity. >_>

Back in Virginia I'd say the 360 was bigger.

The Wii is the big thing here. it is nearly impossible to get. I personally aren't a fan of the a lot of the one player games. But when playing with other people, games like Mario Party and stuff is great!

Remember the way I was, for me.

I'm not really a big fan of the Wii. It's more of a party console that you play when there are friends around or something...and I like to game alone, so I didn't really bother getting one.

I played a Wii at a friend's party...it was pretty fun competing with others.

My Wii just doesn't gather dust because of SSBB's infinite replay value and the homebrew channel. I find myself playing my 360 and DS much more than it.

Still, I don't think it's a bad console. It just has mostly bad games.

Yeah, I usually don't use the Wii unless I have a bunch of friends over or something, or if my family's up for it (which is pretty rare). It's quite popular here, with the 360. Everyone around here has one or the other, or both. I don't know too many people with a PS3 though. XD;
