What is the Wii?
-The Nintendo Wii is the successor to the Nintendo Gamecube console, and is presumably in competition with the Microsoft Xbox 360 ("X360") and Sony Playstation 3 ("PS3") consoles. However, there is considerable debate as to what degree the target market of the Wii overlaps with the target markets of the X360 and PS3. That is not to say that the X360 and PS3 are not targeting young, new, and/or female gamers, as they both are, nor that the Wii is not targeting experienced videogame players, as it is. But there is considerable evidence, especially in the Japanese market but also in America, of people who had zero prior interest in any videogames at all, purchasing Wii systems for their interest in titles like Wii Sports, Wii Play, Wii Fit, Mario Party, and possibly other simple "party-game" style titles. This is an important distinction to make because people, including children, who actually play videogames will often quickly grow tired of the aforementioned games because they lack any of the depth of play that has been associated with good videogames since before Nintendo released its first system in the 1980s. (so this has nothing to do with the graphics capabilities of the Wii, but the character of its popular game titles).
But aren't good games available on the Wii?
-Yes, absolutely. Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Galaxy, and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess are a few examples of superb videogames available exclusively on the Wii that exemplify the "depth" and "character" of videogames that I was talking about before. However, the relevant question is whether there are perhaps more and better videogames available on the X360 and PS3. To answer this question, I would have to say that yes, there definitely are. To offer objective statistics to back up this assertion, I point you to Game Rankings or another website that aggregates professional videogame reviewer scores and combines them to an overall consensus score out of 100%. Lets say that "great" games are those that have a consensus score of 85% or greater. Using this objective metric on Game Rankings, we find that the Wii has 9 "great" games while the X360 and PS3 have 34 and 20 "great" games each respectively.
But graphics aren't everything, right?
-Yes, again that's absolutely true. In the same way that I think some Nintendo Entertainment System games from the late 1980's are better than some videogames being made now, its also true that some Wii games are better than some games being made with better graphics but overall worse gameplay for the X360 and PS3. While graphics are not everything, they're certainly something. Compare better graphics with better camera technology, special effects, and bigger production budgets in movies. Spartacus, the 1960 film starring Kirk Douglas, is a great movie. But is it better than Gladiator, the 2000 film starring Russell Crowe? Despite any feelings of nostalgia, I think most people will agree that Gladiator is the better film. In the same way, videogame developers work extremely hard to leverage the better graphics capabilities of the X360 and PS3 to make games that are overall better. The latest important trend is videogame design has been the adoption of techniques from blockbuster movies to add cinematic qualities and the feel of "high producion values" to videogames. Start up a game of Call of Duty 4: Modern Combat, available for both the X360 and PS3, and you're put in the rear seat of a rickety passenger car, traveling a middle eastern city in the middle of warfare chaos. You watch as you speed past people in gunfights, buildings exploding out in the distance, civilians scurrying for cover, etc. The Wii simply lacks the hardware capability to pull off the same kind of scenario. Its graphics are incapable of allowing the player to "suspend disbelief" for a real-life scenario.
In conclusion:
-The Wii is a decent system, and has several exclusive titles, predominately made by Nintendo, that videogames players would truly enjoy getting to. However, the X360 and PS3 are better systems with more and better games, and for anyone who is known to play videogames, I would always recommend an Xbox 360 or Playstation 3.












*Reliability. You don't hear much about Console failures (360's Red ring of Death)
*Virtual Console. I'm a big fan of games from the 90's. So being able to download NES,SNES, & Genesis games is awesome. Although they need to increase the library, it's not very expansive. But I hear they're going to be adding Chrono Trigger in 2011! :-D
*Netflix. Being able to stream movies through the Wii to the TV is great! The picture quality is a lot better than i would have expected. It looks flawless to me. (BTW..I do own a PS3 ...and the picture quality & main page Layout are inferior compared to Wii)
*Exclusive Titles. I know PS3 & 360 outdue the wii by far with their variety of games. But like i said before, i love the 90's games....so to be able to play games like Mario Galaxy, DKC Returns, kirby, ect is great.
Glad i purchased the system. My only complaint really is that the Virtual Console needs a lot more titles. They're missing out on some easy revenue by keeping it limited to where it's at. They'd bring in TONS of dough by releasing Earthbound alone! Cmon nintnendo!
