    Im with ETM. I was a diehard Nintendo fan since '85. Hunted down a wii after visiting like 8 stores on launch day, was happy and had fun for the first few months, but all these little niggling things started stacking up:

    - the lack of nice HD
    - the constant battery changing
    - the cumbersome store
    - the fucking nunchuck style controls
    - etc etc.

    I finally got a PS3 a couple years after and was blown away at the graphics difference. I gotta say, as fun as a game is, it does make a difference when you have 2 systems side by side and one looks awesome and the controller is easier to hold, and all that.

    I was dissilusioned with Nintendo, but bought a 3DS for my kid and its much of the same. Cheap gimmicky shit, poorly designed hardware, and an 'online store' that boasts maybe 3-4 good games, the rest being garbage. The 3DS was really the nail in the coffin for me.

    Nintendo makes toys, thats it. Sad to admit it cuz i grew up loving them my whole life.. like over 20 years of having their back..

    • agreed. though they still make Zelda, Mario and Metroid. For me it's worth a console just for them.inteliboy
    • And the amount of Wii that was played at our place (wii sports, sports plus, mario kart etc) was far more than our ps3.inteliboy
