"And what the heck is "low rez"?

Great Graphics /= good game play"

Low rez is Call of Duty World at War on the Wii. Rent it/buy it and you will find out.

All things being equal as the are in CODWAW, playing at 480i or whatever the Wii is vs 720p takes away from the immersion plane and simple.

For me its game play then graphics then sound. All three make up the experience. In the case the CODWAR all three are better on the 360/PS3.

Ocean,

Even I who has owned every single Nintendo console to come into existance, and every single Nintendo handheld, with hardly playing other consoles, knows what he's talking about.

"I think you're just trolling for a response Wae..."

Like I asked before Pot, have you been introduced to Kettle yet?

What *games* are you talking about that are 'simple'?

"This is the dumbest statement of the year; Pong wasn't even very good or fun."

If you compare Wii's simplicity to Pong, then I guess they're the same.

>>And had more than double the sales per title of either competitor.<<

Yeah, thats right too. Why aren't software sales more in vogue?

>>game play isn't everything either, otherwise we would probably still be playing Pong.<<

Touche. Well done.

Compared to the 360 and PS3, it's what the Wii puts out.

No, but game play isn't everything either, otherwise we would probably still be playing Pong.

November was a particularly weak month for games anyway. I might try out the new Prince of Persia game on my PS3. The graphics look awesome, and the game play is somewhat similar to the Sands of Time trilogy, albeit with some new dynamics.

Hardcore is a made up term without a fixed definition.

I used to be a big time gamer. Now that I don't have much time to game anymore, I just stuck to the Wii because the few games I do get to play, I want to make my favorites (Mario, Metroid, Zelda, etc.).

However, if I was still big into gaming like I used to be, there's no doubt I'd be all over the 360. It is definitely the clear winner for the "hardcore" games out there.

"There is no such thing as a 'hardcore' gamer" Really?

Using your top 10 I would say that Call of Duty World at War is a hard core game. Where is it on the list for the Wii?

Ocean you luv the Wii we get it, and the Wii hardware wise has kicked butt.

However using you list again, any game that cant take advantage of HD is selling on the 360/PS3 better. Wii fit, Wii Play, Wii music are Nintendo made games, low res and in some cases not "games" in the traditional sense. Give us a list of games that can be had on all 3, ie Call of Duty World at War, Madden, RockBand 2 and then see where the Wii is at.

"Oh yeah, many in this blog consider the top selling OS that outsells its number 2 rival by 30 to 1 is also considered a failure."

XP out sells Vista 30 to 1? XP is the number 1 rival to Vista.
