Console Wars: if you only play pc this may not interest you

So, I bought a wii and am loving it. It is really sweet. However, whenever I search around for the games on it I always have to read comments from wii-bashing boneheads. I don't quite understand where the visceral reaction comes from. If I had to guess, I would guess they they are bitter because they spent twice as much as me and I am able to have fun with the wii. I think that all three can co-exist and the haterade needs to stop.

Post here on your thoughts about:
the console wars (and no '(x) system sucks or (y) system is much better)

Upcoming games you are excited for for any of the consoles

Any other thoughts on the consoles that aren't just bashing. although, if you have a complaint about a specific consoles company, a complaint about a certain game or a complaint about accessories that's ok

My upcoming wii list:

Metroid Prime 3
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Ghost Squad
Tiger Woods '08

If I had Xbox 360:

Halo 3

PS3:

dunno

yeah, they're crazy hard to find, at least in the US. However, well worth the neurotic daily calls I made to the EBgames near my apartment :-D.

i had my wii about 3 days after the official release date here in the netherlands, i kinda like having a wii but i don't play on it that often since i'm kinda bored of the games i have...

however when super smash brothers brawl comes out and it will be online playable... i'll have another addiction :)

I like the wii for it's partygames since i'm not a serious console gamer, for shooters etc i'd go play them on the pc...

No chip, pure softmod, since I've mainly bought it for a cheap mediacenter, plus I got the hdd from a friend for free...

I kinda used the hard way of softmodding it.. Without the game save exploit

Hotswap ftw.

I played with the wii and it looks like BIG fun! =)
i am interested in the ps3, but it think i am gonna wait for a lower price and a new HD TV. here in belgium its now available in a lower price but i heared you can only play the new ps3 games on it. think thats kinda sad for all my ps2 games.. =)

so sadly dont have any next gen console, but they seem alot of fun.

meh, haven't touched my wii for over half a year now or something, the current games are kinda crappy.. I still have to hook it up with ze interwabz someday, will happen for sure when I can get my hands on Brawl :D

I hope we'll be able to play together... I doubt it tho.. :(
