    Because its the cheapo version of the other two. 180 quid for it now. PS3 was like 400 and odd quid when it first came out, Xbox 360 was like 389 :rolleyes: proves it all really

    Mate most of the games you just mentioned featured Mario or Zelda :56: all nintendo characters that are well past there sell by date. Herres some PS3 and 360 games for you -

    GTA IV
    Oblivion
    Prince Of Persia
    Tomb Raider games
    Fifa (an actual decent version without having to wave a stick about like a *)
    Cod 4 and 5
    Mass Effect 1 and 2
    Assasins Creed
    Fight Night games

    Dont see any of them on the wii :86:

    The microwave outsold the 360 ang ps3 by millions, it doesn't mean you can play a game on it though.

    nope its an RPG mate so you know * all about the games so why try and say the wii's better when clearly the wii is aimed at family games that waens that are ten sit about and play. aye GTA has run its life thats how its one of the best selling games ever and the Fifa on ps3 and 360 doesnt have you waving a stick about with your hands to get a guy that looks like a ps1 game with a massive head to run around :56:

    oh i see youve cracked it :87: the wiis always been 180 quid, while the other two have had to cut their pricess dramatically because their failing to sell enough wiis been out nealy 3 year and still no sign of a price cut, the games really suck balls on those two little big planet is so gay man and halo is pure *

    Its cheaper as well. Families that dont have the money aren't going to fork out much more for an xbox 360 or PS3 when you could get a wii for 180

    The reason it didn't cut prices is because it started 200 quid cheaper, it slashed prices before it even started selling.

    And profit-wise, it didn't outsell the PS3 and 360.

    The wii is a novelty, my sister has one, it's nice for some family fun, but to class it as a gaming console is an insult to the PS3/360.

    Mate your talking * now, you just picked out two random games and said they were *. Thats why halo is another biggest selling game ever and its getting made into a movie its so * :rolleyes::bbpd:

    The Wii starting price was like 210 quid was it not ? has it ever been dearer than 360's or Ps3's ?

    aye and the wii isn't for the family to sit with over the dinner and * about how Mario is dancing about planets like a * :rolleyes: the wii is for waens and might be good for family play but in terms of pure gaming it doesnt come close to the 360 or PS3. Ask any games expert that and you will get the same response.

    aye Tomb Raider is multiformat but is it on Wii ?

    So the xbox and ps3s aim at Teenage boys ? Does the wii not aim at families and young kids ?

    Last time i checked Teenage boys were the biggest gaming market there is :56:

    the price has never been slashed miyamotos aim was to have a game console that was fun to play games on that everyone could afford without costing 400 quid, the main reasons the other 2 cost so much is all the * add ons, hd dvd player blue ray player etc

    profit wise? last time i heard microsoft and sony were losing alot with their 2 consoles, while nintendo are making a ton

    id say the ps3 and 360 are an insult to the last gen, play the games ive mentioned and youll see

    aye they are becasue they are the biggest so that means they are the mass market does it not. Why aim at waens and families, if the biggest market is teenage boys and young guys :87:

    boy, are you wrong. the sickest/goriest games are on the Wii

    No more Heroes (the US version)
    Mad World
    ManHunt 2
    HotD 2,3, overkill
    and another game whose name I forgot

    The Wii unlike the Cube isn´t for young folks / families anymore. It´s for everybody (including hardcore) while the xbox and ps3 are for hardcore (well, more or less) gamers only

    very true, especially Sony. The PS3 is a flop. Even in Japan!
