If she likes the Wii, let her have that much. Just ignore it and keep your true gamer integrity. Now if she starts to attack you directly...just go into her room at night and get the pillow, or if she's old enough, replace her pills. Problem solved.

i know but its just maddening that she Feels she knows more than me because she Bought a wii while I read the escapist the worlds #1 gaming magazine
Therefore you know everything. *rolls eyes*

If you're basing your opinion on what you read in a magazine, you know nothing.
Go out, play the games, and get your own damn opinion.

Also, punctuation in the OP would be lovely.

Stated as it may have been, I don't have time to read through all five pages of replies.

Also, what's with the random capital letters in the middle of your posts?
You don't have them where they should be, like "i", but you have one on "Did" and several others in the OP.

While I feel for you, and that DOES suck, punctuation was invented for a reason. Not you, nor anybody else on this site (with the exception of Yahtzee) is above it.

Ditto. OP, I read every post you made in this thread, and my eyes are hurting from the horrible lack of punctuation. It just doesn't work in text. Add breaks in your lines if you refuse to put up a period every once in a while. And I'm pretty sure someone already gave your mom a coherent argument 3 pages back, so this thread should be finished now right?

Yes but its not my mom thats the problom its my aunt
Honestly, its your aunt, is this really that important

Tell her how the 360 and the PS3 have better graphics, and how their drives are bigger so they can handle bigger and more complex games. Tell her the story of I dunno, say fallout, were you get a whole other world to explore. Rather than linear Mario games.

Tell her how physical activity has nothing to do with gameing

Play a gorgeous PS3 game and have her watch or play with you. Uncharted is a good one. Quite "movie" like.

Tell her that it doesn't matter which console is better, as long as she is happy with what she bought. For the quality of something is subjective

And if she still continues..... Honestly, Its your aunt!

The main problem with the wii is that it gets you up and moving like a phyco path. I mean really was the point of the system to make a fool of yourself? Most people go home to relaz not exercise that is why the 360 and PS3 are better

Hmm my advice is simple.

grow up a bit, go round and see your aunt and play some wii games with her. I doubt she'll ever be interested in fps games and beatem ups and stuff like that so to be brutaly honest as a family gaming console the wii IS a better console for her. While your playing games with her you may discuss other consoles if you like, and the way games developers tend to release different generes of games for different hardware.

first of all, by the sounds of things, she's going through a "look at me i'm keeping up with technology" phase. she'll inevitably stop caring sooner or later. a similar thing happened to me a few years back.

tell her the wii repertoire is basically comprised of internet minigames (otherwise known as 'casual games') which you have to pay $30 for.

also, i know it's practically impossible to do, but you can play the wii sitting down...

Shovelware, Bad controls, Limited capacity for storage, Good for a brief moment with friends.< My contribution.

I got an idea, Verse her in a game of wii bowling or tennis. Yet do it sitting down, and beat her. She cannot use the excuse 'it gets you moving then, when it is more effective flicking the wrist.

shes old and she likes her Wii.
And lots of people will act like know-it-alls when they get anything new or become part of something new.

But as long as shes enjoying it, I think its best to just let her have fun and treat it like a crazy Aunt/Uncle/member of family kind of event

Wiis exist for simple family fun.
PCs exist for hardcore games.
XBoxes exist for Rock Band.
And PS3s exist for showing off that you have more money than sense.
They cost as much as an Xbox now. (Arcade doesn't have a hard-drive.)

OR:High resolution screen shots would be more than enough.
