It never occurs to anybody just why nintendo is winning this war (worldwide). Because theres one console. Not wii minor, wii major, wii fuckin sweet. Most people use their consoles for gaming only. If you want a dvd player, buy one. Thats one thing the current 360 setup had over the ps3. A separate hddvd player. Oh well. Thats really not the only reason obviously. I think they should just keep it simple, but I could be wrong. I personally love having something complex like that that does 100 badass things. Most people dont though. ---

> [@Djs87](#): > > It never occurs to anybody just why nintendo is winning this war (worldwide). Because theres one console. Not wii minor, wii major, wii fuckin sweet. Most people use their consoles for gaming only. my thoughts exactly. Wii has 1 version. It’s cheap, fun, and has 1 purpose… to play video games. The graphics aren’t the best out there, the other options are non-existent, but ya kno what… its been out for over a year and is still sold out or sells out in a day at every store that carries it in America. ---

Its not off base in the slightest. I just named one reason why its the leader. You just named 2 more. I think they are the top 3 reasons actually. Probably in this order. 1.) Price 2.) Simplicity 3.) New experience Although that order can be argued all day long. ---

The wii is only $250 b/c it doesnt have all the extra options, but ya know what thats exactly what I wanted. When i was looking to buy a new system last February I could of easily paid for any of the new 3 games. I picked the wii because I didnt want or need a blu-ray player, media center, HD, this that and the other thing… and most other casual gamers in the market dont need those things either so the wii is the easy choice. ---

> [@BuickGN](#): > > Why are you using tversity instead of Extender? > > Im not quite sure i understand the issues you have The extender does not install on Win2k3 server (AFAIK). With the 360, when you display video content (at least with Tversity) it acts like you have a standard TV instead of a widescreen and puts bars on each side. Did you get my PM, BTW? ---

I didnt get that in your first statement. Either way, it does suck if you already have an elite, but microsoft doesnt surprise me with anything they do anymore. ---

This is a whole 'nother thread, but from what I’ve seen… the Wii attracts a whole new market of gamers. People that have never gamed before. Old and young alike. People love it. As for longevity? Who knows, I do know that it is fun to break out with a group of friends in a way that Xbox or PS3 certainly aren’t. Plus nearly anyone can do it. It isn’t trying to compete on pricepoint or features, it is saying “hay, gaming isn’t just for nerds locked in their basements with double jointed thumbs” and it works. ---

Nintendo definitely did themselves a favor by not having the latest and greatest in cutting edge graphics with the Wii to keep the price down. ---
