well it doesn't seem to targeted at teenagers. everyone my age (13-14) say that the wii is "wiitarded" as they like to call it. but theres this extremely immature kid my age that wants one ever so badly. so yes, it is targeted at kids or adults. not really teenagers who will laugh and scoff at it.

You mean teenagers that can't see the fun behind the Wii, because they need to be cool and tough, or they'll be kicked out of the ''elite gang''.

Well if you think the Wii has nothing 'cool' about it that teenagers could be interested in, here this:
80% of the cool kids I know bought a Nintendo DS with Pokemon Diamond/Pearl and bring it to school every day to play. And these are the kids who are making all the teams and play hockey.

Now, let's look at the Wii. The first online game coming out for the Wii will be Pokemon Diamond/Pearl and when it comes out all those kids are going to buy a Wii so they can wirelessly connect to their DS and have the ultimate gaming experience.

Not cool enough now?

You guys are generalizing, why do you do that? Some people like certain things that other people don't, it's a simple fact of life.

@ Fishwhiz: Well then you probably don't know anyone who owns a DS. I own a DS which I bought when it first came out, but I have quite a number of friends.

@ darknight: Yes, if you consider 15 - 16 year olds in the age group for pokemon. Also, you may not have heard anyone saying they were getting a Wii because they just didn't tell you. Why do you think they have been sold out worldwide since launch, unlike the PS3? And I'm not supporting pokemon because I hate it, but it just goes to show that maybe pokemon isn't just for kids, and it's a socially acceptable thing to do now adays. Maybe if you ignored your stereotypes you would see the world a little clearer.

Darknight, I don't think you realise how massive Pokemon is. Every game they bring out sells literally MILLIONS of copies.

Also, the DS is one of the biggest selling consoles known to man . . . and the DS is much better than the GBA right? Well in North America, 35 million GBAs have been sold, which makes it second only to the PS2. If the DS does better, it could easily be the most popular console ever made.

Actually it's Mario Strikers, which is already out (and selling quite well) :wink:

Actually in Japan they had Poke'mon Colosseum i think it's called was the first online game released for the Wii. And so far has only been released in Japan, I'm pretty sure.
However, in Australia and Europe it was Mario Strikers Charged. Which is a pretty good game.

errm... all ps3 fans out there... if u peeps think wii is kids and borin and crap
explain this

http://nexgenwars.com/
this is world wide... ps3 in japan came out before the wii and sold so less because it is so crap and crapper and maybe crappest

in europe it came out after wii and it only sold like 500,000 because most population here either bought a wii and 360 together...

now wii just came out nearly... near the end of the year and nearly sold as more as 360 and 360 been out till 2005....

u rather buy a 360 and wii which will add up to a ps3 price and much better

It's funny how you didn't add ''360 fans'' in that phrase. Is it because 360 fans always love Wii? -> The Wii ACTUALLY is crappy. The majority of the games are somewhat childish and it's underpowered.

But that makes it sell so damn well. The games are fun based and you're involved in them in a different way (Wii-mote), and it's so damn cheap compared to the 360 and PS3.

Most expensive and still a small selection of good games are more likely to be the reason.

yeh but pszeta..... if the wii is cheap like u just said... 360 is only £20 more then the wii...

wii is £180 and normally 360 core is £200.... sooo wot are u on about?

and u said small but good selection of games... pfft... most of my mates thought ps3 is good since they pre orderd it.. but when they got it.. they found it pathetic.... they sold it the next day thats how crap it is i guess? they preferd 360 then ps3 -.-....

now im not sayin ps3 is crap but its just a waste of money.... u rather buy a 360 then a cheap stupid copy ps3 -.-

oh and btw even the controllers are crap... it might be interactive but stilll... mainly u have to play with a wire then wireless and wireless is much better then wired cuz if u dont charged it without the wire then u will have to buy a new controller... basically dont even know why they made it wireless -.-...

Could you just work on your phrases? They're difficult to read, especially that last wireless thing.

-Do people actually get the 360 Core? Being able to go online is very important in the 360's success, which leads to getting a Premium.
-I didn't say that all games were good. I said that a small selection was good, a small selection from all current games available for the PS3.
-The PS3 is a waste of money for what it offers you at this moment. Blu-ray makes it expensive.
-I didn't understand what you were saying with that wireless thing.

Where should I start?

How much do you guys want to bet that ImJ's mates kept the PS3 then told him otherwise. I have actually got a PS3, and contrary to "popular" belief, It is f***ing fantastic!

If you say PS3 is a cheap copy of 360 (in which both words are wrong; AU$1000 for it and IT DOES NOT COPY 360 because unlike the PS3, 360 is S**T), then you are practically saying that PS3 is crap.

The wireless controllers, also according to you, aren't fully wireless. WRONG!!! Ever seen that "Charge 'n' Play" dock? You stick the controller in there, it charges, you play. That wireless enough for you?

Yes, Wii is good. Wii is good IN IT'S OWN RIGHT. The Wii wasn't supposed to target the big guns of the VG society, it was supposed to innovate the VG society. That's part of the reason it's so cheap. Couple of things to note about the Wii though:

-The Wiimote costs a heck of a lot more than both the 360 and PS3 controllers. Plus, unlike the Sixaxis for PS3, you need to chuck in one-use batteries for it. That's a little bit extra. All in all, the Wii mote would probably jump the price of the Wii over that of Core 360. And don't get me started on the attachments...

-Where are all the supposed "innovative" games? Heck, where are all the games that AREN'T PS2 and XBox titles?

I rest my case...
