Did I mention there are no games and the controls are dumb?
Oh and just to remind everyone, we have a Wii.
It was played for maybe one month then sat there for 5 months gathering dust.
It is now back in it's box.

Don't forget that instead of actually giving the fans something to play, they've focused on games for your little sister and grandma!

The only competition for this console war would only be between XBOX360 and PS3. Wii has a totally different target audience. It's not for the hardcore gamer, but for families due to its multiplayer and simple but fun games. Nintendo gears more towards new and unique innovation for their consoles and handhelds.

I honestly think that the nintendo Wii will make it thru, because of the motion and the fact that you can play retro games. Oh, not to mention heaps of cool accessories as well. Although thare is this website to play retro games from, what if the person who bought the nintendo Wii din't know about this awesome website? The only way that they could play retro games is thru the virtual console in the Wii. Although I said that the Wii isn't that good before, It, in my opinion will survive the console wars, not for my satisfaction, but for everybody that loves the console's satisfaction.

Personally always like Playstation when it came to consoles as my main pick, but Wii comes in a close second, I just play the PS3 more so I voted for that. Prolly never will buy a XBOX or anything microsoft when it comes to consoles for the simple that Nintendo and Sony has never failed me in my decisions.

2nd Post, realized what you were asking here and revoted for wii just because its got a wider range of ages who play it and that will make it sell more alone.

I have to say the Wii, because it advertised way more than the rest. It also was extremely overrated, " Look at me, I NEED to stand up when I play a game!" The PS3 and The 360 are always battling for number 1 while the Wii is on top.

Well, since the question is which one will sell the most, ATM it's Wii hands down, even though it doesn't deserve it.

Yes, anyone would be foolish to think the other consols will sell more at this point.

However, on a side note, the wii is getting great games this year, it's definitally a late bloomer. (Metroid, Megaman 4, Mario galaxy 2,and they "promise" the new Zelda near the end of the year)

These games does not make the Wii any better, they might make these games whack, i mean Megaman for the wii? Not a good idea if you ask me. And in my opinion mario galaxy was boring to begin with, A new Zelda game looks good but another metroid doesent look too promising. Also PS3 and Xbox360 have a list of great games such as uncharted2, condemned 2, Call of duty modern warfare,Halo and Obivion. Nintendo has lost my respect after the release of the Wii, and hopefully at the end PS3 would come out on top.

No, you right, but a point of critism on the wii is often that it had no "good games". As bigN said, Other M looks great. And this new Zelda is going to be... something. Twilight Princess was "the last of it's kind". So it's going to be a big deal, whether good or bad.

I will go with the Wii because I have a Wii and I don't think
the PS3 is that great and, despite having good games, I went through
THREE Xbox 360s. Many people fail to see that the Wii DOES have good games for hardcore players. (SSBB, Sonic Riders: ZG, The Legend of Zelda: TP, MP3: Corruption, etc.)

Vizzed.com is very expensive to keep alive! The Ads pay for the servers.

Vizzed has 3 TB worth of games and 1 TB worth of music.  This site is free to use but the ads barely pay for the monthly server fees.  If too many more people use ad block, the site cannot survive.

We prioritize the community over the site profits.  This is why we avoid using annoying (but high paying) ads like most other sites which include popups, obnoxious sounds and animations, malware, and other forms of intrusiveness.  We'll do our part to never resort to these types of ads, please do your part by helping support this site by adding Vizzed.com to your ad blocking whitelist.
