The Video Game Critic

I don't know why I waited until page three (or am I on the end of 2) to say this, but I'm going to make a prediction.  Overall, in about a month or two Superjay will admit that he thinks although the Wii is alright, it isn't exactly the incredible machine it is made out to be.

The reason is that all three console makers, whether we like it or not, have certain types of games they do well.  As far as I can tell, Superjay loved the genres covered well on the original Xbox and, malfunctions aside, loved the games on the 360.  The Wii and 360 compliment each other nicely, but that is largely because they offer ENTIRELY different expriences.  The Wii does not, and will not, offer a huge selction of M rated FPS games or online content, in the same way that Microsoft isn't going to release a game like Viva Pinata every week. 

I figure Superjay will begin to feel cheated a little by the Wii (especially with the hype) before too long and will likely find his anger at Microsoft fading (even after they robbed him of over $100).  I know that'll happen because when Nintendo dropped all the last games for the Gamecube, pushed the Zelda: TP release to behind that of the Wii, and basically made my Gamecube obsolete long before it's time, I said I'd had it with them and would be ages before buying a Wii.  I also know I was really stoked about getting my oriinal Xbox when I did, and figured I'd never stop playing it.  In the end my Xbox started colecting dust, as I'm not a huge FPS fan, and I bought a Wii the first time I saw one. 

Anyway, that's my prediction on how this will play out, and I hope everyone isn't too harsh on Superjay when he admits the Wii isn't exactly doing it for him.

Atarifever I think that is a very fair assesment. I already feel my anger towards Xbox fading but I will support the Wii because of it's excellent party type games. Once the Xbox comes back though my wife and I will be playing Guitar Hero 2 till are heads pop off.

Yeah, I mean if there were another system perfectly like the Xbox, your anger would likely be able to continue, in much the same way that if someone else offered another "blue sky" console, I would have been able to stay mad at Nintendo.  I guess there's a reason we all accuse each other of being fanboys, considering that the genres and features that are important to you basically decide which company's console you prefer.  You like online and FPSers, you like Xbox, end of story (unless you want to spend a billion dollars on a gaming computer).
