I'm not a casual gamer, but would fall more into the "classic gamer" camp. My friends have 360 and PS3 (well, one friend had a PS3- it's out for repair already, and he only played one game on it), but a lot of them have the Wii and are playing it a lot more than any other console. I just picked up a Wii after months of casual searching and I am one happy owner. It adds a new , but nostalgic way of playing games that will appeal to more than just the normal "gamer" crowd. This to me is better marketing, and will ensure the longevity of the Wii. Btw, my local Game Stop has a full stock of PS3s and they haven't sold one in over a month now. They still have people calling in every day about Wii availability. That is all I have to say. 594964@blogcritics.org Fri, 25 May 2007 21:41:46 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/06/09/191352.php#comment-535202 games are not about graphics or namebrand, they are about gameplay & fun. would you rather play a game that sucks, but has good graphics or a game that is great, but has lower detailed graphics. i am willing to sacrifice graphics when i know i am getting good games. i also have too many dvd players as it is. 535202@blogcritics.org Tue, 13 Feb 2007 21:11:24 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/06/09/191352.php#comment-517466 Yes.. You could play Gears of War for about 3 months before you encounter the dreaded Red Circle of Death, then Microsoft sends you a refurb (you lose 1-year warranty) with only a 90-day warranty and 3 months later it happens again and you're footing a $130 service bill or a $399 new xbox bill. Or you can buy a solid product from a trusted GAMING company and have a whole new fun way to play console games, and the price you paid? $250 and a few less pixels... seems fair enough, I'll play with my "Wii Wii" then. If I wanted a white paperweight I'll spray paint a rock. 517466@blogcritics.org Tue, 23 Jan 2007 14:01:53 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/06/09/191352.php#comment-515372 i'm just curious are those the same wii's that had there controller recalled or are those the same wii's that recieve low game scores that i have been reading about, let's see should i choose another legeng of zelda with low res graphics and unprecise controls or gears of war or even lost planet.nintendo fanboys you can have your little wii wii. 515372@blogcritics.org Sat, 20 Jan 2007 14:36:24 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/06/09/191352.php#comment-513773 John, I'm just curious to what your input would be now that it's been 2 months and Wii's don't sit on the shelf long enough to even justify stores clearing a spot out for them. Let us know! 513773@blogcritics.org Thu, 18 Jan 2007 09:51:33 EST
