A lot of people i know bought Wii's quite simply because everyone else has one! Some of them were never really Ninty fans..its really a matter of choice like i say that 60+ hours on Twilight Princess is great for a game. There has been many on 360 i haven't wanted to play for more then 10 mins! However the same can be said for the Wii. I admit that i haven't played the Wii as much as i played the Gamecube. Sometimes i think people get all hyped up about the Wii then get dissapointed with it, maybe expecting to much.

Stopped playing the Wii mooonntthhsss ago. Arond the time Metroid Prime 3 came out. Playe dthat for two weeks, got bored and ended up selling it on eBay along with Twilight Princess. kept the Wii console, though. Gave it to my younger sister. She enjoys it a hell of a lot more than I ever will.

But I bought a 360 and...well, needless to say I'm loving it. The games are simply more suited to my interests.

My biggest regret was hyping myself up so much for a Wii, buying it and being let down so badly.

It's easy to see who the Wii was made for. Look, I'll let you make up your own mind.

The videos below are both final fantasy games.

The first is for the Wii. Don't just go by the graphics. Go by the vibe the game gives you as well.


The second is from the PS3. The same rules apply as before.


To me it doesn't just come down graphics. The very feel of the games are opposite. One a light hearted romp, the other a dark tale of pain.

Let's face it. The Wii is about fun. The PS3 is about entertainment.
To think otherwise is setting yourself up to fail.

Can't say I agree with you on the last point, LostDjinn. I didn't find the Wii very fun at all. However, I had a lot more fun with the 360 because it was entertaining.

But both videos you posted look great in their own rights. Thw Wii FF game I will definitely pick up when it comes out and FFXIII makes me want to buy a PS3 just for that game alone.

I bought both. I nearly bought a 360 but managed to hang on long enough to buy a PS3 when it was released.
Now it's pretty much game for game between the PS3 and 360 but the amount of games coming out that are PS3 only is going to increase. GT5, MGS4, FFXIII, FFvsXIII and the list at E3 this year should drop everyone’s jaw.

It's not that the Wii is fun (it is if you get the right game and I find it to be fun).
I should have said its light hearted fun. At no point does it ever really get serious. That's what makes it so user friendly. The games are based on interaction be it in what ever form not epic story line, graphics and the number of variables becoming so massive that the DVD format will no longer hold enough data.
It's not that the games are going to grow to 200 hour monsters. All the real-time game-play runs on variables, the more real-time used the more space you need.

The Wii’s my favourite toy.
The PS3’s my favourite entertainment.

you make a valid point in my opinion, but there just aren't that many games on wii worth getting... pretty much only the games made by nintendo themselves. The wii definitely does cater for a different audience but it's not really the platform for me.

and that ff clip makes me want to buy a ps3, looks awesome. Is it purely turn based though?

That's one thing I'm thinking too..whether it's another turn based RPG. As much as I loved them back in high-school, I grew very weary of them and the constant random monster encounters. It was fun in FF8 but by FFX, I just wanted to throw my PS2 into a meatgrinder.

Skarteh said: Get a PC dude. If you can afford one they're the ultimate gaming machine. Once you get into a PC consoles seem a step back.



I must agree with you, and in the long run, once you have a good base system, upgrading it will actually turn out cheaper than buying actual consoles. And you can always buy a pc gamepad and/or connect it to your tv with the right video card if you feel like some console gaming.

listen to malaka, the guy at my school had to take his 360 back 1 week after he got it cause it got the red ring of death.I knew that would happen cause it's microsoft. I've got a windows xp and all I get is spyware, viris's, blue screens of death, slowness, over heating at a very low temprature. I'd rather get a ps3 then an xbox 360, and that's saying something cause everyone knows how bad ps3 is! there's so much more to the wii than anyone knows!it's full of suprises!for example:activision is making a pole dancing game(sports, not the dirty kind!) If you get put off by some games on a console and jump to another one you'll never find what you want. it's like that saying: "rome wasn't built in one day". I think that's how it goes...anyways.....go wii!
