Haha you can't even answer my question. No one can.
Oh, I can answer you I just wanted to see what you could possibly come up with since you didn't include any details in your previous post.
The Wii has improved in many areas - motion sensing, innovative gameplay, Wi-Fi, online play, CHANNELS, VIRTUAL CONSOLE, controllers that can act as a pointing device, etc., etc., etc.
Motion sensing = great for minigames, which the Wii has pleanty of. Other than that, the controls are unresponsive and just out right shoddy.
Innovated gameplay - Well, if minigames that keep your attention for a week are innovative then yes.
Wi-fi, online play - These are so new, right? Cause they haven't been on consoles for years? Nintendo is dead last in online play. The friend code system is just horrible.
Channels - a lot of useless features, especially in comparison to the PS3 and 360s media features.
Virtual console - Really? Games I've played 5 to 15 years ago? And they want me to repay them to play? Surely they have graphical improvements? They don't? Yeah, how bout no.
The only place it lacks is graphical capability, but that doesn't really matter. Who cares if the game looks good? Shouldn't the only thing that matter is the game its self?
Oh, no the graphics are just the tip of the ice berg. Most of the Wiis games are bad. Like really bad. Nintendo games are the only reason to own the console. That's really not enough reasons for me to own it since I find most of the games they make not geared toward me.
Now lets see how things have changed...
Xbox--->Xbox 360
Yeah, there are some changes in Live, graphics, and the external features, but nothing involving the gameplay has really changed.
Shouldn't that be the only thing that matters in a game console, the gameplay its self?
PS2--->PS3
Again, there are some cool new external features, but the gameplay hasn't changed at all.
I find this really funny. You honestly think that better hardware doesn't mean better game play? This generation alone has seen huge innovations on the two main consoles that the Wii couldn't even touch. You could never see a Gears of War, Metal Gear Solid, Call of Duty 4, Grand Theft Auto 4 caliber game on the Wii. It's just not possible to do with it's current hardware. The games would be downgraded so bad.
The Wii has actually innovated gameplay.
So whats this innovative game play you are speaking of? Motion controls? Wii Bowling?
Have you noticed that it is the best selling console by far?
It may be selling the best, but no one is buying any games with the console. People who are buying the Wii are buying it for Nintendo games, mainly wii sports. Third party developers are being left in the dust because the average Wii owner doesn't know much about video games. With such bad third party support for the Wii, it's just not worth owning other than a quick fix here or there.
It is cheaper and has a bunch of better features.
Keep telling yourself that.
But since this thread is about PS3s and 360s, if I had to pick out of those two, it would probably be the PS3. But I'm fine with my PS2 for now.
It's obvious you're still behind a generation if you think the Wii is so advanced.
Edit:
You must agree that the PS3 is a bigger improvement than the 360... The PS3 does have a lot of potiential to still be untilized. Especially if you're only just compareing to their own counterparts...
Absolutely. The PS3 is a major improvement over the PS2. The Xbox 360s improvement might not be as drastic as the PS2 to PS3 but it's still a big jump.
You couldn't even tell the consoles were related to each other if the names were removed (I'm referring to both consoles).
Take the PS2 for example, when it first launched everybody cryed that it was hard to developed for, look in the past year everyone, well a lot of devs, cryed that the PS3 was hard to developed for... Then a few years past after the PS2's launch you see all these amazing games. You will see that happen for the PS3 too.
I have confidence that the PS3 will get better with age, but I highly doubt it'll have follow the same path as the PS2 did. PS2 was a monster...It's still going with no end in sight.
How isn't the wii improvement from it's own counter part?
Better graphics than the Gcube, Better online functionality, uses DVD but no dvd movie playback... motion sensing/tracking, etc
small improvement is still an improvment, Nintendo is trying to innovate using the wii controller, but there are too many shovel ware.... So for now I'm going to say the Wii is just a fad...
I never said there wasn't any improvement over GameCube. I said that it uses last generation technology. I said it barely was better than the original Xbox. There are improvements, but most of them are minor like the addition of a motion control, minimal graphical upgrades and Wi-fi as you stated.
The question is do you really want Wii to be a fad? Does the Wii actually help the industry or is it only helping Nintendo get richer?
