I am not arguing about those consoles.

But the Nintendo Wii sold a FUCK TON. It has both 360 and PS3 beat in terms of world wide sales and it has a drastically different controller than the competition at the time of its release. It is arguably the most successful of Nintendo consoles. It sold more than the NES and SNES. Only thing that has it beat is the PS1, (which it is close to) PS2 and Nintendos own handhelds.

Agreed, Wiis sold like stupid crazy.

But their value dropped almost overnight (okay, within 6 months) as people flocked to trade them in for other consoles. Also, a console is only as successful as its games.

PS3 suffered for a long time and was pretty much a fancy doorstop until around 2008-2009, 360 was the king of games from release but had some major hardware issues, and the Wii has always kinda been the dumpster around the back of the abortion clinic, sturdy and fit for its purpose, but is just full of horrific mess, except that every once in a while, one of the foetii is still alive and kicking for an hour or so until it dies a horrible death and is equally as forgotten.

...

Jesus fucking Christ, did I really just go there?

<3 your description.

But I would say the value of the Wii started to drop sometime in late 2009/early 2010 when the "official game drought" started to happen. I honestly don't remember buying anything brand new at retail price in 2010 aside from Super Mario Galaxy 2. 2011 was the year of the NOTHING up until Skyward Sword came out.

Blokey are you implying that the Cube's controller was anything other than the single best controller ever?

The gamecube controller ranks somewhere below the Dreamcast and above the Playstation for me.

KB/M is only good for RTS, FPS and MMORPG games, so basically, PC gaming.

Cube controller was... well, just completely asstarded backwards to fuck.

Image

D-pad: what the holy shit?
Yellow C-stick: fuck a duck, what the Christ?
Stupid-ass face buttons: shit up a pipe and call me Mavis, thats just fucking mong.
Analog AND clicky L/R buttons: worst idea since, when in 1888, Mr Hitler said to Mrs Hitler "Hey Klara, zee nightz are kold unt I see you are havvink zee sticky-out neepz. Vat say I schnuggle up to you unt we get busy, ja?"
That STUPID FUCKING Z BUTTON: kiss my shitty ringpiece

Only way they could have made it worse would be to make it a three-pronged piece of shit like the Nintendo Sixty FOOOOOOUUUUUURRRRRR controller.

Also, wordfilter FTW.

I didn't have a problem using the Gamecube controller.

I just hated it for fighting games. I bought CvS2 for the GC, terrible fucking idea.

Before tonight I have never heard, nor seen in printed form, the plural of "fetus".

To be expected from Microsoft and Sony as this is a transitional E3 where nothing really will happen as the new generation is close, but not close enough. Nintendo on the other hand showed that they're willing to let 3rd parties do what they want on the Wii U, but they're sticking to the market that serves them best with games like Wii Fit U (weird name) and Nintendo Kingdom/Fairground/Whatever.

I like the fact that Third Party developers are on board, but I need to see more than just ports of games that are already out (Mass Effect 3? Really?)

I was more excited by the Nintendo 3DS stuff than the Wii U stuff. Especially given that I believe Xbox SmartGlass has what it needs to basically do everything the Wii U is showing.
