A quick run through the check-list:
[ ] - Is the thread interesting enough to have been recycled wholesale from hundreds of previous threads?

[ ] - Is the thread original?

[x] - Does the opening post consist of one individuals' perspective stated as an absolute?

[ ] - Is the opening post backed up by tangible facts rather than sweeping generalisations?

[x] - Does the thread contain more than one post by people to whom spelling and grammar are abstract concepts?

[x] - Does a large portion of the thread consist of people with a negative bias toward the subject slapping each other on the back?

[x] - Does the thread seem like a pointless waste of bandwidth?

[ ] - Will the subject matter seem important five years from now?

[x] - Does the thread display evidence of spoiling for a rumble?
Verdict - Try harder.

If this doesn't set off alarms bells, then how about:

If he's on his second 360, it means that he got the RROD. Yet he only briefly mentions it.

There's a word for all this...

TROLL
I agree and all, and forgive y ignorance, but what's the RROD?

It literaly has 2 good games but yet its selling quicker than shit off a stick. The other consoles are going where the console industry has never gone and the Wii is at the back just exploiting everyone elses work.
The most widespread console is doing little to help the industry, and no one realises Nintendo is diddling everyone out of their hard earn money, WTF?!

If you agree do tell and if you don't erm just sit in that corner over there. :)
How did Microsoft tried something new with the 360? At least the PS3 has Blu-Ray but the 360 has nothing special about it (except the RROD).

They tried something new, letting people pay for the online features xD.
I like my 360, even with all its flaws, and if it survives one year, maybe i will chip it... but probably not

That isn't really something new. Just think of the Phantom. It was supposed to be something like a Steam console.

OK I'll address the issues cuz I'm getting some hate here. Right I briefly mention RROD because well it only happened once and i got a free month of XBL out of it and that subject has been covered alot so everyone knows about it. Calling me a Wii bigot isn't really relevant tis called an opinion. The PS3 and 360 do indeed use older tech but not old in the console market as i mentioned. Motion sensing is also old you been to an arcade before. Please dont call me "dumb" or a "berk" I'm open to change but their essentially selling a Gamecube with motion sensing thats not really change is it? It's like changing the controls round on your keyboard. Making 20 years of gaming available is not cool either MS and Sony do it and it pisses me off. Why are you so vigorous in defending your console as well I only offered my opinion. Sorry for wall of text

Lets see what annoys me

Its selling the most units...

Its pushing the most games if you care to add up attach rate X unit sales.

Its using the corporate lack luster modern gaming design focus the rest of the game industry is using only 10 fold and is raping the competition with it.

They have cheaper games...they also have games that are either simple or bad...like the rest of the industry who makes shiny but shallow games.

What else annoys me about the industry...oh wait.....

hehehehehee

Well the Wii is marketed to kids, you don't see Hannah Montana on the 360 or PS3, and kids just want what looks cool, they don't give a damn for playability or storyline, I am surprised that this kind of stuff hasn't already been done on other consoles.
The men in suits hadn't thought of this.

what are you expecting the 360 and ps3 are normal controllers the wii is the only game that you dont break your fingers on you can move it around and although i dont own one i feel the wii is only selling because in some games you feel ur acshully doing something which i feel is better than pressing square to swing a sword dont you?

I never realised that people defended their consoles so much, I don't own my Wii anymore but why do people, try and support their consoles, and I just thought as well I never actually said the PS3 or 360 were the second coming, they've all got flaws such as the PS3 having the biggest pile of wank online ever, and the 360 been about as reliable as Royal Mail but the Wii takes the biscuit, what isn't it like something billion is there market and the most their doing is saying buy the 90th Mario game i mean why pay for games from 20 years ago when you can get them now but with fancy controls.

The WII will shine at some point. You just gotta go threw all the crap that's been released on it to get to the good thing's
The Wii already shined. Now it is starting to go downhill.
Precisely. Proof in such games as 'Hannah Montanna'

The Wii is the most innotive console.
The PS3 and Xbox360 bring nothing new.
(Inb4 fanboy, I had all three until the 360 died.)
I have never earned a penny in my life anyway so...


The Wii has a great selection of games (admitedly a lot of them are Mario games), what you should be pissed off about is the fact that Nintendo hate Europe and Australia, putting release dates back stupidly.
Oh and btw, 360 and PS3 have just as much shovelware.

I wouldn't say just as much. They do have shovelware but nowhere near as much as the Wii.

The Wii ones are more noticeable as they're on discs, a lot of the PS3 and 360 ones come out online but people still get them because they're 'retro'.

Point is, they're there to make money. Microsoft and Sony are still fucking raking it in so they can't say the Wii is stealing their business.
