there is a HUGE difference between the graphics on the wii versus ps3 or 360. have you actually played the ps3 or 360 on an hdtv? the wii is not capable of hd. furthermore, both the ps3 and 360 have a much much MUCH stronger graphics engine than the wii. like was said previously, the wii has ps2 graphics, at best. nintendo has never prided itself on its graphics, but its strong gameplay. i'll give it that, but i'd rather have my cake and eat it too...solid gameplay AND cutting-edge graphics (360/ps3).

It all depends on what game you play. And yes an HDTV chages the picture but that is really the only diference (PS3 and 360 look better only because of the HDTV and if you ask me the 360/PS3 dont have life like in graphics you can still tell that its not real) and the Wii can be played on HDTV's it has a setting and a plug to do it.

Anyways, the best Wii game I have is Wii Sports Resort, because of the Motion Plus the bowling is much more acurate. Then you have B-Ball that is really fun and Archery you could play it all day but you get tierd becuase your actually doing it.

There's an astonishing difference in graphics. Also, the Wii physically cannot output in 1080p resolution as far as I know.

Yah, not to mention the wii doesn't have any good shooters. They take games like Resident Evil, Cod, Transformers, dead space, that are realesed on the PS3 and xbox and well ruin them.

Well, to say the least a lot of first person shooters are horribly violent and graphic.  Not my idea of a good game. :)  If you want a Wii first-person shooter, go with one of the Metroid Prime games.  One of the best game series out there.

Face it, Xbox and PS3 don't have nearly the amount of great, fun games the Wii has.  They have great graphics, sure...that's about all they have.

Yes some of them are graphic but you have to remember you aren't shooting any real people so what does it matter?

That is merely your opinion. I consider all those FPS's to be just as good and great as the games you like on the Wii.  :P

In seriousness though, I tend to have a lot more fun with games like Crysis or Fallout 3 than party-games.

Put it this way, I currently have about 30 FPS's installed on my computer.

As this would escalate into a full-scale debate (which I seem to be a magnet to  :-\), I think it best not to go down this road.

Of course.  I can fully understand your liking games on the Xbox or PS3.  As you stated, that was simply my opinion.

The point is that some of us find no pleasure in killing fake people either, especially when it is made to look real.

Oddly enough, no Pokemon have ever been killed in many years of gaming, TV shows, and movies. Well maybe Latios, but he was a martyr so it doesn't count.  ;)

This is also becuase the but more into the 360/PS3 game than the Wii. The Wii is more life like in the fact that you are doing it not moving a joystick, that is why there are 2x more Wii's than 360's and almost 4x more Wii's than the PS3.

Wii's rock!!

not sure what you mean here, unless you mean how many of a certain console owner there is. there are currently 62,585,048 wii owners in the world, 35,795,505 xbox 360 owners, and 30,097,783 ps3 owners. so no, there are not 4x as many wii owners as ps3 owners. i would argue there are more wii's than 360's or ps3's because its a far more accessible console (in both pricepoint at launch and target demographic); however, that doesnt speak for the quality of its games which is the discussion at hand. we've already established the wii is aimed more at the younger crowd, while ps3 and 360 is aimed at more mature gamers.

my personal opinion, the wii and 360 should really watch their backs for the ps3; the ps3 sold more than 1 million consoles this last month. while the wii sold 1.5 million consoles, it was only a 15% increase from average monthly activity, while it was almost a 50% surge for ps3.

So, I have both my PC and a PS3 to use.

I have to wonder how much of that is because of the price drop, coupled with so many people like me that are thinking it may be more worthwhile to buy a PS3 than a simple Blu-Ray player, since there isn't much of a price difference. We're all going to need a Blu-Ray player eventually.

Yes, that is what I ment. The number of PS3's has increased scince I last checked.

Actually, as far as I know, the Wii outsells both Xbox and PS3 by a longshot...but if I'm wrong pardon my ignorance.

all the figures above were taken from my stores latest NPD sales charts. if you think the above figures show the wii outselling the ps3/360 by a longshot, then ok. however, as the number of ps3's + 360's > the number of wii's, i dont calculate that as a longshot.

Actually I didn't read any numbers you posted...just found that on the news awhile ago and thought I'd post it.  So what you posted probably wasn't a longshot and I'm probably just way behind everyone else.
