You know I now know why Dann posted that post he posted. I am here trying to have a debate about consoles and the responses are asinine. It is sad. And yes there is a way to judge which console is better. The fact that you don't understand that basic fact makes me sad.

Ok, I'll take your bait.

So in your opinion the WII is better. But from an objective view the 360 and PS3 both are capable of far more than the WII (the PS3 more so than the 360) and the PS3 shipped with motion controls. Yeah, crappy sixaxis controller motion controlls Just because you play your WII more than 360 doesn't mean its better. I never said it was better as a fact. I said it was better to me. All it means is you are one of the people that finds that type of crap fun. Calling Wii games crap seems a bit childish, don't you think? It's all about opinion, I'll take a Mario game over a generic FPS any day The WII is targeted to pre-teens and seniors and it does a good job of entertaining their target demographics. Just because it is targeted to a specific group doesn't mean its use should only be in that group. I find Wii games to be enjoyable for all ages. The graphics the WII has are limited the controls are not precise in the least and worse of all very few of the WII games seem to be targeted at adults. Graphics do not equal a good game, the controls are much more percise than an anolog stick, and who cares what audience the games are for if they are fun? Nintendo has been milking the Mario series for 20 years. If the games are still fun and refreshing, I welcome new installments in a series. Now I am not saying that's a bad thing they are making money hand over fist but you speak of innovation, I seem to recall the EyeToy which gave motion control over the game in the PS2.....hmm who is copying who now. Eye toy is a completely different form of motion control.

Also, If posts on an internet forum make you sad, you are in for one sad life.

A debate about why you think what you think. Isn't this topic about a Mario game?

Its not the posts on an internet forum that make me sad its the realization that most people in the world can't grasp thoughts that are -in my mind- very basic.

Back this up and I will believe you. What makes the PS3 better than the Wii? It is all debatable and up to personal opinion. There is no official way to judge what console is better.

Lol, I didn't think this needed an explanation but I guess it might have, thank you Blue.

I have no desire to sift around the internet for facts, now if you wish to enlighten yourself that is up to you.

Personally, I think a nice vegan carrot cake is a wonderful dessert. Unfortunately, facts state that more people eat pie and as such, Americans think that it is better and that's a fact. How asinine of me to like carrot cake.

You may find facts about the console, but whether I like them or not is up to me. It is completely up to opinion. You keep trying to pass opinion off as fact and it is not working.

Aren't you talking about pretty much every current game?

Either you have motion control with no hand controls (360 or eye toy), or your hand (everything else). Not much of a spectrum in which people can make something and not have people scream "copier!" at them.
Yea, you can either use a camera to track an object with reflective surfaces / infrared LED's or you can use an accelerometer in a device.

yes there is a way to judge which console is better.
Right. The consumers do that by purchasing a console they enjoy. Having never even touched a Wii, Xbox (regular or 360) or PS3, I won't talk out my ass, I'll just post facts:

Hmmm, one step ahead of you I guess.

Carrot cake sucks. Dutch Apple Pie is the best. It's all American, how can you beat that?


Bottom line here is that everybody's different. If Company A sees that Company B is making a killing with a product that the consumers love, Company A is bound to replicate & improve upon that idea to take some of the profit. If it's a total failure, chances are that you won't hear of the product at all. The fact is that people love all 3. I could be posting about how this debate is pointless since PC obviously wins but that's an opinion.

but you can say, the ps3 has better capability's to produce more realistic looking graphics.

Even that's difficult to say these days. For the most part, the more significant specs of a game console are published but you rarely see the hardware pitted against each other in an accurate test (without ported games). You can see clock speeds and whatnots but that doesn't matter too much anymore.

That just helps prove my point. Instead of buying another game, you have to pay to play online. I would much rather have the money to buy a game than to pay Microsoft for something that should be free.
