360 less than the Wii. I don't believe it unless it's that POS Core system.

I don't know anyone that bought that.

Hell Big N could drop their price $50 as a nice counter.

The reason I say that the Wii is basicaly a scam is because you must look at what was added.

The graphics basrely better than the Gamecube so you virtually got no graphics bump for your hard earned dollars on a new system.

You did get:
some memory card slots
a smaller and different form factor
a new controller
limited online

Well gee, Big N get over turning a profit on every system whilst selling at a lower price due to....

....a new controller....not new guts of a game system but a new controller.

It's all a hoodwink if you had a Gamecube before.

Now with that, I'm not saying the Wii doesn't good games.

Super Mario Galaxy
Super Paper Mario
LOZ
Wii Sports
Rayman RR

It's just that now I'm seeing that Wiimote shit being thrown in games just to make them Wiimotized.

Those top 3 would be fine without Wiimobility. Games like Wii Sports are great but are niche. I like to get one there a crack some baseballs every once in awhile but it's best when I'm getting up there and then someone else gets up there and tries to beat my score.

I think the Wii is super excellent for getting in shape at home and having fun doing it. Wii Fit is an excellent idea. Again that's niche.

I'm gonna vote for the Wii. First, the range of games cover more age groups so that's a benefit. Second, I just find the wiimote just a lot more creative than the traditional controller (which the 360 uses).

Third, as Busyman mentioned, the Wii can also be used to get in shape, which is, once again, a plus.

Also to your post above "I bought a NGC and it turned out to be trash. I played only 4 games" I agree I got a ngc and lol, I only played one game super smash bro's so it was super trash for me, but I have to say the wii is much better Its really fun.

I didn't know Gears Of War, Lost Planet, or even Forza Motorsport 2 were on PC.

This can only be good news for the PC front.

Yupp they are on pc, except Forza motorsport but it might in the future, so ya pc gets basically all the games that xbox 360 gets that are worth playing.

Since the PS3 and Wii have launched, the 360 has sold more games than the 2 combined.

Why? PS3 was too expensive and had hardly any games and the Wii....had hardly any games.

This kinda speaks to the mileage issue I had with the Gamecube. You spend $250 but get a collection of probably less than 10 good games.

Now the Wii will have more mileage on it than the Gamecube due to it being a niche product. Keep in mind also that any game that is not considered niche (Wiimote specific) like Madden or Call Of Duty will absolutely suck on the Wii.
