magickstar says:

It may be a horrible thought for many to consider a World Without Wii, but i have to ask:
What would you be doing right now if the Wii was never created???

Me thinks a lot of thumb twiddling wouldst be goin on...

"Imagine all the people, living with out a wii, oou oou!"
Without a wii we wouldn't have mywii and I wouldn't be as computer skilled as I am now and I wouldn't know any of you. To bad a thought to bare. Without the wii I would be a bit more active with alot more things and maybe still in Runescape Without wii, wii would be sad.

I would have bought a PS3 and 360 (Wii money would have paid for 360)...That or I'd be in WoW.

Despite the fact I lost interest in the console I'm SO glad it came along cause I've met so many awesome people on this and the other mymedia sites

I think most will agree with me when I say the site has become almost a "home away from home" for me.

Nintendo Wii Is Not a NEXT GEN Consol

just saying that the xbox 360 is way more powerful than the wii and has a way better GPU plus the wii is not as good as people think its a disappointment to the NEXT GEN

the xbox 360 is like 4 times more powerful than the Wii
even the xbox is still more powerful an has better graphics u think 5 years after gamecube. thay would make a good console that even 1 ghz

why Wii is BAD!!!

1.no dvd
2.no hardrive
3.last gen graphics
4.not powerful

the next xbox will have motion sensitive and u will see how crap wii's motion sensitive is.

and u can all say i have a wii and i love it and crap i dont care but its just not a good console

if it had 3.2 ghz and better graphics i wouldent say this nintendo is just a GameCube Elite.

It's a console... In the next gen. I think that would qualify it as a next gen console...

1. No dvd drive? then what are the Wii discs on then :P
I don't see the need for the wii to have the ability to play DVD movies cause well seeing as how DVD players are cheap as chips nowadays, there is no point needing it, although i have heard that there might be plans of adding playback later on. Whether thats true or not i don't know

2. It does have a hard drive, although it is 512mb flash memory, but it technically is one. Would be good though for future use of USB hard drives

3. It may not be up to par with the other two powerhouses but it still has quite decent graphics, i'd have to say that they'd be more top end last gen graphics or slightly better than that, but i haven't really played any decent 3D games other than Zelda so i can't really make a proper judgement on that.

4. Not powerful? well compared to ps3 and 360 obviously it isn't, but that doesn't mean it isn't powerful, its all in perspective.

As far as motion sensing goes, it's really up to how well the game developers use it.

Obviously it isn't up to your standards and definition of what a next gen console is/should be.

Ok, will do

As far as the topic goes:
One less console in my room i guess that and i'd probably use the money i had spent on wii and games and such on a laptop so i could access the net from my room

What would you do without a wii? What a dumb question/thread. What were you doing before you had a wii? If you can't think of anything to do if you never had one then you really need to get a life mate.

That was totally uncalled for.
It's called CONVERSATION!
I'm asking people about their life apart from the wii, and if that seems stupid to you, you don't have to read it!

Oh yeah. Phatbass is here to lay down his iron fist of his newly proclaimed admin-like abilities! Nicely done I must say.

Nothing said in a forum should be taken personally. Everyone has their own opinions and everyone has the right to take part or not, as long as it's not spamming.

I think at the end of everything, all these silly console fanboy arguments are easily nullified.

PC destroys every console on the market, and will always do so.

Hehe. Hmm. That's still under a whole lot of debate. I thought the console market was still smashing the PC market, or, at least, threatening the PC market big time!

Maybe.
Well, people tend to go for either PC or console, I think.

It's odd. The only way that consoles can even begin to threaten PCs as an entertainment platform is by becoming more like a PC themselves. Internet connectivity, online multiplay, downloadable content. I think within a generation or two, consoles will allow people to mod games just as if it were a PC game. Or even, capitalise on the multi-platform releases that are becoming commonplace and letting mods for PC games run on their console ports.

A console is already changing from a developer's view; you used to buy a console to play the exclusive games on it. Soon enough, you'll buy a console to enjoy (lower quality) PC ports and all the benefits of a PC without the upgrading, cost and manhood envy that comes with owning a PC.

Hmm. Well, do you know why consoles are more like PC's now adays? Not everybody is as techie savy as you or me, so people aren't that keen on trying to get things to work on PC's, so the next option is the console. Put disc in console, and it runs. That's it.

PC gaming is flaky because if you don't have the required specs (or a $3000 machine that could run everything, but probably won't), you won't run the game properly or the game will be slow or it's not compatible with the hardware or there's not enough RAM or there's not enough HDD space...and the list goes on...
