Well, none of these on the first or second pages, so I think we need another thread about our opinions on gaming consoles today.
I can't really give an in-depth opinion on any system besides the PC or the Wii, so I'll just state my opinion on the Wii to begin, I suppose. Discussion begins!
At the time I got the Wii, it was for a pretty simple reason. I preferred the system's line-up, just like anyone would do when buying a system. But, what's happened since the Wii was released is a general lack of games. The 7 Ubisoft games turned out to be rather lack-luster, sadly, and the most fun I've gotten is from mostly Nintendo's games. They were great experiences, and I don't regret getting my system at all, but I definitely dug too far into the hype.
Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the Wii's line-up greatly, and there are some games currently out I've yet to get that I want, such as Medal of Honor Heroes: 2, and King of Fighters '94 on the Virtual Console. But what really disappoints me is the usage of the controller by developers.
As of late, it seems as though the only effective usage of the controller comes from usage of the Sensor Bar and Pointer, an absolutely brilliant system I'd say. It's not motion-controls, but it's a new system of controlling games that works well, and is very precise in capturing your movements. The other motion sensing capabilities of the Wii Remote don't seem to be used very commonly to actually capture your motions and represent them, but rather, take specific quick motions in specific directions to represent what could have been a button-push instead. Though this hasn't proven to be necessarily a bad thing, it just makes me think of what could have been when I play a game that controls like this.
Something else I don't like is how the Wii seems to miss out on newer multi-platform titles, like Soul Calibur 4, for example. Once the Ps2 is finally dead, it seems like everything for the Wii is going to be exclusive, but it seems like companies will merely make games for the Wii to spend less on making the games themselves, and cash-in by a bit. That really sucks. Since Nintendo only has one console to cash-in on, they spend more money on their games in hopes that they sell well, and are the only ones that seem obligated to make Killer App's for the system. 3rd Parties don't seem as excited about the controller as they did before.
I feel like I'd prefer to have an X-Box 360 at this point rather than a Wii. But, still, if I could trade my Wii and my 9 games for an X-Box 360 and 9 of its games, I probably wouldn't, because then I'd miss my collection of games, 'cause I like it. But I still feel that developers haven't reached enough of the potential of the Wii Remote, and developers definitely seem to be a bit more lazy when it comes to making games for the Wii rather than the other systems.
Anyway, your opinions on your currently owned consoles?
