I think the Wii is cool. People seem to like it, including those who might not have picked up a game on a console pre-Wii. I think motion controls have huge limitations in serious and casual gaming, but that extends beyond the Wii. I can't believe Sony and Microsoft are jumping on the motion control bandwagon, but fuck...when the Wii is making as much money as it is, why WOULDN'T you make that logical investment.

Do I care? No. Fuck no. The older I get it seems like the less I care about new gaming...I long for nostalgia, social gaming, PC gaming, and vintage shit like Counter-Strike.

For once this isn't a validation thread, I am honestly wanted to know if people have an issue with the Wii and its position in gaming.

Like I said this thread got off to the wrong start, but there are people in journalism who want to see this thing fall... and fall hard, and I just don't get that.

I understand not liking something that's understandable, but I don't get why people are so eager to see it wiped off the face of the planet.
