But are you willing to risk it for another monumentally awful console for the chance of it being even mediocre?Lexodus said:

I don't see what a Wii fanboy would say to justify his claime, Playstation had that whole ordeal with the bluray player which I found illegitimate and X-box has the whole came out prematurely and is growing red circle shaped tenticles.tmujir955 said:
PS3 = hightech (to the point of expansive redundency)
Xbox = cheap (er and only worth it if you want to play with 12 year olds pretending to be anything but)
Raise your hand if this offends you somehow.
I only own a Wii because my brother already has an XBOX360 and the PS3 didn't appeal to me because of its high price point and there weren't many games out for it at the time (October 2008). I know I picked the weakest of the 3 consoles with regards to hardware, but I could only choose one as I didn't have the funds to buy all of them. I don't consider myself a fanboy, but it's as inevitable as the tides that there'll be fanboys. I enjoy using my Wii, I just wish that there were better games for it instead of crappy 3rd party titles and watered-down versions of bigger 360 and PS3 titles. When I get a job, I'll look into getting a PS3 unless any other users of this site can point me to some awesome games for the Wii. I already own Brawl and Mario Kart Wii, and I can assume that people will maybe point me in the direction of Super Mario Galaxy and New Super Mario Bros Wii, so if there's any awesome non-Mario games as well, let me know.
I work with a Wii fanboy, my days consist of pissing him off which is unsportingly easy, yet still quite entertaining.
Also, every single person pressing 'no' is in fact a Wii fanboy, prove me wrong.

There are fanboys of everything. There is always going to be someone who is unnecessarily excited about something. Whether its the 360, ps3, wii, or fucking avatar.
Well, I don't ever bash the Wii. I bash the shitty assed terrible garbage games that come on the Wii.
Wii fanboys aren't old enough/too old to know how to use the computer anyway.
You know what scratch that. There's plenty of middle aged moms who Farmville it up all the time so they don't use the computer for anything else other than Facebook and MSN.
So, there are fanboys for everything. But they have nothing to be proud of at this point.
The exeptions to the 'shitty assed terrible garbage games' comment, do not include Metroid, Zelda, Fire Emblem, or Brawl.
Theres always an exception to the rule though.

Halo fanboys are the worst. You don't see Mario Galaxy fans accusing George Lucas of stealing Shigeru Miyamoto's ideas with Star Wars, do you? But Halo fanboys, when not pleasuring themselves to Bayonetta cut scenes, accuse James Cameron of stealing from Halo with Avatar. If you didn't know this, I'll add a pause so that that can sink in.
...ready?
'kay. Now I'll tell you what I like to tell these obnoxious philistines whenever I encounter one of them.
"Sit down, son, we need to have a talk. It's alright, no one's gonna hurt ya...so you like all this space marine stuff, huh? Would ya call yourself a fan? Yeah? I'm...guessin' you weren't around in 1986, were ya? No? Well, in 1986, Mr. Cameron made himself a movie called ALIENS. See, this film was significant for a lot of reasons, but chief amongst them were probably these 2: it was an instance of a new director stepping up to a franchise and actually improving it with the sequel, which hasn't been done before or since, and it is the single most influential work on any space-themed video game of the past 20 years. So ya see, Mr. Cameron actually INFLUENCED Halo, quite a bit. Now, son, are ya gonna shut the fuck up about the JC stealing from Bungie?" (gives noogie) "That's a boy."
