Aunt Buys a Wii then starts acting like she knows Gaming Prove her wrong

[The_ModeRazor]

The Wii sucks for people who actually like to sit down and play video games. It's almost all casual stuff and shovelware. But your aunt won't know that, she doesn't know gaming. It's, to quote someone I forget, "Playing chess with someone who doesn't know the rules."

They gotta be pretty thick. Chess isn't that difficult.
You don't even have special powers.

And PS3s exist for showing off that you have more money than sense.

Wow, that is a pretty hard dig.

PC gamer personally, but... just... OW!

(I could feel that from several miles and a few console types away!)

We are tired of console wars here and try to be civil.

This.

...She pulled the good old fassion "I am older so i know what the hell i am talking about" move.

Can't you say;
"I've played games longer than you (*And I'm better than you at games. You've played it for less than a year.) I know what the hell I am talking about."

*Say it if neccesary.

Then challenge her to a game, and destroy her at it.

Don't even give her a chance at winning.

 

[RanD00M]

or was that the PS3?

It was the Wii.

Ask her what the code for Contra is ... if she can't answer it, she's not a gamer.

 

[dududf]

Ask her what the code for Contra is ... if she can't answer it, she's not a gamer.

*Ahem*

You of course mean the KONAMI code, amirite?

Honest mistake I'm guessing

 

[whycantibelinus]

There will be no convincing her if you've already stated the facts and she refuses to listen.

That would be perfect but she's to stupid to buy more than one wiimote and numchuck After all she thinks games take turns like in the old days still also i cant win at wiii Golf or bowling because the controls are so scewed IU mean a light tap sometimes sends the ball 400 miles and in bowling well lets just say its a lead ball and there are magnets in the gutters

I don't quite get it, do the console folk see the wii users in the same way that we PC gamers see the console folk?

 

[Tartarga]

She has obviously gone senile. Throw her in a home.

 

[Zildjin81]

Isn't "better" subjective? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Also, the PS3 and 360 are very similar when you think about it.

Show up one day with a new Wii-Mote and Numchuck, then brandish your weapon and challenge her at dawn...

 

[p3t3r]

well you could show here this http://www.metacritic.com/games/xbox360/ .look around the site it is pretty clear there are more high rated games for the xbox than the wii. also say all the games that you want to get that aren't for wii. and you can pretty much prove that the other systems have better graphics because they output in hd.

and finally Waving arms =/= better games

1. Have her play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and see how fast her wrist hurts... This is to prove her wrong about the motion controls.
2. Show her.... pretty much any game screenshot on any other next gen system, Crysis if you want to show her one of the most graphically advanced games ever made (it may not be on consoles yet but what the hell right the PC screenies will look better anyway).
3. Then remind her the other consoles (or PC) have far more top notch games not just sludge for 5 year old kids.
4. If all else fails just say you'll buy the X-box (or PS3 both are good systems) with your own money (which it sounds like you will be doing anyway) and let her pay for the Wii herself and let her find out the hard way that around 75% of Wii games will ruin your wrist.
Hope this helps

You've got it. HD consolers are elitist towards Wii-tards same way PC gamers are elitist towards Halo fan-boys. Wii users are elitist towards chipmunks, with their tiny rodent brains and big bushy tails. So cute, so stupid.
