After all, we all had to start somewhere. The wii just might be that 'somewhere' for some people.

well, in a way it is, its catering for people who really dont play much games, and try to make it fun...

iaculch said: First I'd just like to clarify this thread isn't about which is better Wii or PS3 (We already know the answer to that [jokes]). The question is if Wii is changing gaming.

Now although some of you stated that games like COD4, GTA4, MGS4 have had great success. Nintendo is somehow selling more, look at the sales of Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Mario Kart, let me see if I can get the facts off vgchartz

Well technically I started on a PS1 when I was 4 so thats kinda a hardcore console as opposed to its competition *cough* N64 *cough*

Wii sports comes with the console, so it technically doesn't count as "software purchased". Wii Fit is a peripheral. Barely a handful of titles if that, even sell on the Wii. Nintendo are shifting consoles, but pretty much zero software as opposed to MS / Sony.

In that case, why am I'm a picky hardcore gamer who refuses to buy mini-game compilations or crappy shovel-ware titles and i've found 11 Wii games to own.
