Because my toy is bigger than yours? Or how about, "because I'm a hardcore gamer" but ONLY play on one platform O.o Maybe it's because it's the ONLY real conversation, aside from the game talks, that they have everyday?

I'll be damn if I know. Why are you even asking such a difficult question anyways...dammit! *goes back to playing games on his systems*

First off I couldn't careless for Wii, PS3, or Xbox360.

What Mottoman is saying is, People who own the PS3 and Xbox360 have always trashed talked the Wii for inferior graphics and power overall, no hardcore gaming, gimmicky controllers, its a child's toy etc. And now, Sony and MS is comming out with thier own itteration of the "gimmick controller", PS3 and Xbox360 owners (maybe not all)are "Its awsome!".

Point #1: Wii indeed is less powerful and does have alot of kiddy games etc.

Yet the Wii outsells PS3 and Xbox360 (Combined?).

Point #2: Wii has a gimmick* motion controller.

I don't know if I would call it "gimmick", rather it brings gaming and entertainment to a new level. its more innovation than gimmick - perhaps the two combined.

Point #3: Nintendo makes money on everything Wii while Sony and MS is losing money.

In conclusion, MS and Sony is trying to cash in on what Nintendo has already saturated in. Perhaps Sony and MS consoles are for the limited "Hardcore" Gamer crowd. But this crowd is at best marginal vs the average Joe/Family who likes and finds the Wii attractive. And even though the average Joe/Family does not play or use the Wii as often as said rival consoles, they (maybe not all because some people do play the Wii daily) enjoy it during special situations etc.

It all comes down to Money and Business. Like those who have quoted before, give MS or Sony the oppourtunity to re-do things the way Nintendo did, they'd jump all over it. Having the most powerfull console sold and not make money on it defeats the purpose and is moot. Nintendo took the right approach and innovated a product to reach a massive market. If you don't think its innovative, how many times in the last 30yrs of Video Gamming consoles have you seen a console used for and in gyms for exercise?

I think that is all Mottoman was trying to say. He was not bashing sides or jumping on people. Its just we are tired of people bashing and trash talking the Wii yet don't understand the innovation and attractiveness the "gimmick" controllers bring. Its a miss conception of business that most people do not see. And no I am not praising the Wii but yes I am praising the genious behind Nintendo for the Wii-mote and marketing to attain a market saturation that no console has ever done before.

Nuff said.

Not all people who own a PS3 or Xbox trash the Wii, though. I own a PS3 and I've never trashed another console for anything. I chose the console I wanted for the reasons I wanted and then got on with my life.

It's hard to say someone is "just commenting on a situation" when the first word they use is "PS3diots."

Just because there are some idiots who blanket-bash the Wii and all it's owners, doesn't make it any less moronical to blanket-bash al PS3 and Xbox owners.

They're flipping TOYS! Who cares what anyone else has bought? Who cares what anyone else says about your toy? I've had people hurl abuse at me (online, of course) because I said I owned a PS3 and not an Xbox. Know what I did? I laughed, shook my head and told them to chill out a little.

There are no smart points hidden in a post insulting people for owning a particular brand of toy!
