Although I love the Nintendo Wii, I never seem able to give it any gaming time as the Sony PS3 gets it all. The Nintendo Wii has been collecting dust, but I gave it a good go the other day by spending £160 on some new games and played for the evening because some family were over.
That was 4 days ago and since then it has not been used again, but the Sony PS3 has had many hours everyday on games like Call of Duty 4 and Unreal Tournament III.
Am I the only gamer with the Sony PS3 and Nintendo Wii that has this problem, or do other gamers with both these systems find that the Wii only gets played when people are over at the most.

Why do we keep placing a console like wii to ps3 or xbox. wii is just a toy nothing more and has sold more since is way cheaper so it’s at everyone’s reach.
To Bob:
Please explain how PS3 represents forwards thinking at all. It is just a powered up PS2, which was a powered up PS1. The whole six axis control came about after the revealing of the wii mote, and graphics aren’t the most important thing about a game. Most people would agree that a game with excellent gameplay but without really good graphics is preferential to a game with excellent graphics but sucky game play, like Lair. Besides, the PS3 for all its technology (the cell) hasn’t shown any superior graphics to the 360, which also has way better games and doesn’t force people to by a high def player. So please think before to talk and say that the PS3 is in anyway more innovative then any of the other consoles, especially the Wii (not to say the Wii is perfect), and please stop being a Sony fanboy and try to see the benefits in the other consoles and instead of being a blind idiot.
i have never really been into video games till i got my wii it was the best it was fun for about a month and then i got a ps3 (for the blu-ray player thing that i heard about) i bought lots of blu-ray movies and downlaod songs onto my ps3 and used it for pretty much everything that has do do with electronics i play video (warhawk is the best game lol i suck a it but it is still fun i suck at all war game but this wargane doesn’t get boring when getting killed all the time lol) games on it watch blu-ray movies and dvd movies and songs song’s off my ipod. the ps3 is preffered by pretty much every1 of my friends who come ever to play motorstorm and warhawk the wii was fun for a while but it is not used much anymore
I agree. I had always been a fan of nintendo consoles since the original NES through to the gamecube. The wii seemed like a really good idea in theory, but i ended up with the buyers remorse as i hated the slow to respnd remote and i thought the graphics were better on the gamecube. As Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles was a big let down and with no other games out or to be released that appeal to me ( that are not offered exclusively to the wii ) the console has turned into a rather expensive paperweight.
PS3 makes a great Blu-Ray player, but my wii is more fun. MOH 2, Resident Evil, Wii Sports, Metroid Prime, Super Mario, and soon to be Brawl.
I’m sorry the archaic control system on the next gen consoles just don’t cut it. The games a pretty but the game play is all last Gen. I can’t find one so called great game on the next Gen consoles that does not emulate games that have been played on the PC for years. Sorry I already have a PC. When the PS2 came out with great games like Tekken, Crash, GTA, GT along with the sports games, I rushed out and picked one up. When the XBox came out pushing PC games I quickly got bored with it. It’s repackaged UT, Half Life, and Far Cry with no innovation.
I also feel the same, but when brawl cmems…………..ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh bbbbbbbbboooooooooooooyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GameCube any one? Or have we forgot what the third party games have done to Nintendo. It’s only a matter of time. This is from someone who owned nes,super nintendo,N64 and Gamecube tired of lack of adult games for Nintendo’s products.Yeah they have great games. But I would have missed out on Cod4, the elder scrolls etc.,etc,etc,etc,etc the list only builds the longer you own it!
WHOAH!!!!
STOP THE PRESS!!!!!!!!
SOME DUDE LIKES THE PS3 BETTER THAN THE WII!
NOW THAT *IS* NEWS!!!!
I’m sure somebody out there prefers the Atari Jaguar though, which would even trump this.
However, as I gaze at my stack of *exclusive* AAA Wii titles (Mario G, MP3, Fire Emblem: RD, NMH, Mario Strikers, RE4, WW: Smooth Moves, Zelda: TP, etc.) not to mention GH3, etc. and my awesome collection of VC games (Mario Kart 64, Paper Mario, Sin and Punishment, Lords of Thunder, SF2: NW, the Marios, the Sonics, etc.) and am looking forward to Mario Kart Wii, Smash Bros., Wii Fit, etc. I can’t help but think of my PS3 fanboy friend selling his HD 10 hour titles to afford more 10 hour HD titles…sure it has Rock Band. But that’s been announced for the Wii.
All the HD games have better framerate on the XBOX 360 that I’ve played
PS3 is fun if you have fun waiting for Metal Gear Solid and FF13!!!! Otherwise the 360 is obviously the superior HD machine- maybe not theoretically hardware-wise, but in reality.
Sucks that I can’t play all those AWESOME memorable Sony franchises though- like Crash Bandicoot and Blasto…(sarcasm, Sony’s IP sucks)…all I know is I do not want a Sony/360 dominated marketplace- once Nintendo is out of the picture gaming will pretty much go on a steady downward-slide just as when Atari ruled the roost with their smug dumb ass.
I think it’s pretty hard for anyone to really say the Wii sucks. Whereas, the 360 and PS3 are Tomato/Tomato- yeah, they have some good games too. But Nintendo is the best (well at least my favorite) game developer and they don’t develop for those systems- so f ‘em!
My finaly two cents:
It seems people often confuse a “hardcore” gamer and a DORK. Playing a game with a bunch of steroided-out Space Marines, chicks with Big Tits and/or doesn’t make you hardcore- it means you may live with your mom and/or not have a girlfriend. Halo 3 is WAAAAAAYYYYYY easier than the purple coin challenges in Mario Galaxy (a -so-called “casual” game)….
like somebody else mentioned here- it’s typically teenagers who dub Nintendo’s stuff “for kids”, which is funny because if you’re not 18 then you are, legally, a kid. I have suspicions that many of you PS3 lovers would have a tough time beating the orig. Zelda- and thus ARE NOT HARDCORE.
It’s not that wii games sucks, it’s that this guy gets more replay action off of shooters. I don’t think that drake’s fortune would recieve as much play after the game is passed.
Just like melee is non-stop, games like zelda and mario are 10+/- hours experiences. Not that the fact takes anything away from how wonderful those games are.
