I like the Wii, but at the same time I can see why it didn't reach expectations and is less popular than the Xbox360 and Playstation 3. My guess is because Nintendo made the Wii too family friendly and made the majority of their games for kids, while at the same time the gaming genration is starting to grow out of the kiddie games and move onto more realistic, more violent games that you wouldn't find on the Wii.

Yes i like the Wii but most people did not like the family orientated games because there was not enough violence in the games that were released. Another reason was that some of the games had controls that where just all out whack and it made some of the games near impossible to play. I would give a few of the games but i can not remember what they are off the top of my head.

hackerman : I completely agree, I believe that the world is very non-family oriented. Although the country of america does not believe in the whole family is important thing.

Easily blamed for the Wii's downfall is its basis on "Family Fun" rather than appealing to the passing fads of Teenagers.

Currently, the most popular of the online gaming genres is the FPS, excluding that of the MMORPG Variety.

-The Nintendo Wii (however cutting edge it may be with it's sensory technology) may have seemed to have no competition for its "brand new" idea of interactive gaming.
(Sony Eyetoy)


One of the real reasons why the Wii didn't excel in the ranks of gaming is because of the competition it had to face due to the advancement of technologies know as "Xbox 360" and "PlayStation 3"





The First-Person Shooter Sensation that conquered the gaming world created by Bungie and Infinity Ward.
(Easily Noted as the Wii's Conquerors)

H a l o S e r i e s



Call of Duty Series




I'm not saying that I dislike the Wii, or that I like it for that matter. If there was an option in this poll that was whether or not I was indifferent about it, I would have selected it, but since that's not the case, it's forced me to lean to dislike.

(Considering I'll most likely never pick up a Wii-mote again except to watch Netflix)

hackerman : Family Fun used to consist of board games as well as picnicking and sport outings. Family fun is no longer as desirable in the eyes of the gaming youth.

hackerman : I agree on that part too, I love some of the halo games, and kingdom hearts was more of a half violence and half family game. I love the KH series and cant wait for the 3rd one to come out. In basis of the "Family basis" with the Wii most people think that its pointless but the truth of the matter is that most people have lost the basis on what having "Family Time is". The wii is in an effort to bring family's back together in some ways and in others there are just trying to adjust to please everyone so that their sales go up.

One of the reasons the Wii was mostly frowned apon by the hardcore gaming society is that third parties never really took it seriously. Sure, the Wii has been home to a lot of great third party titles, some of which couldn't have been done on other consoles until the recent introduction of motion controls on other platforms. Just look at the creation behind Kinect and Move - all due to the success of the Wiimote. However, for quite some time, third parties kept refusing to give Wii their best effort.

Once in a while they would release something of interest to gamers like Zack and Wiki, Boom Blox or the Trauma Center series, but admittedly these are all niche titles that were destined to sell poorly on any system they appeared on. Other times developers decided that Wii owners wanted a never ending supply of rail shooters, based on the great sales of Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles. The funny thing about that game was that it was supposed to be a "test", to see if there was an audience for Resident Evil on Wii. The Wii port of Resident Evil 4 sold even better, so what does Capcom do? Release more rail shooters, because they require less effort. Dead Space: Extraction was another severe miss. A lot of Wii owners, myself included, were excited about the prospect of a Dead Space game on Wii, only then to be let down on the fact that it was on-rails.

This is just one reason the the Wii was "un-popular", at least for hardcore gamers. That doesn't mean the Wii get treatment like this all the time from third parties. Games like Monster Hunter Tri, Goldeneye, the Guitar Hero series, Call of Duty series, and many others are finally proving that the Wii can still be one heck of a system.

akumajoe : I think the Wii is awesome, I am just stating some of the reasons people dont like the wii as much as the PS3 and/or X360 ( I have 3 PS3's 2 X360's and 2 Wii's)

hackerman : I agree with you on the fact that most of the "new" games coming out are not as "kid friendly". The Wii does give you all of the stated. Another fact is that the Wii is adapting to gamers wants and/or needs. They are starting to add FPS games and more fighting based games on the Wii.

hackerman : Yes you do have a point there. Does not change that they are adding more games that have this type of violence. Eventually they will have close to the same amount of blood and gore as the FPS/Fighting games. Hell even some of the RPG games are beginning to add massive amount of un-needed blood and gore.

I don't necessarily like the arm flailing all the time, but one thing you can't say about Nintendo is that they abandoned gameplay for graphics. You also can't say that Nintendo makes faulty products that break all of the time. The Wii also outsold the Xbox 360 and the PS3. Nintendo won this generation of consoles.

The Wii is more popular than either competing console, but the flak it receives gets greater publicity.

Vizzed.com is very expensive to keep alive! The Ads pay for the servers.

Vizzed has 3 TB worth of games and 1 TB worth of music.  This site is free to use but the ads barely pay for the monthly server fees.  If too many more people use ad block, the site cannot survive.

We prioritize the community over the site profits.  This is why we avoid using annoying (but high paying) ads like most other sites which include popups, obnoxious sounds and animations, malware, and other forms of intrusiveness.  We'll do our part to never resort to these types of ads, please do your part by helping support this site by adding Vizzed.com to your ad blocking whitelist.
