Just read the rest, im not going to copy paste all of it
So if people at school (and youtube) keep saying the Ps3/Xbox are the best. I do not know if it is my location or what.
But if they suck, then why do they have the most sales

BTW you can look at multiple charts online, odds are WII has the most sales

It's not that they mean it has good sales or not, they mean they don't like companies that make games that are usually not bloody.

See: Today's 12 year old boy.

I hate those people.

I dont understand the added thrill of blood

Wii Zumba Fitness says it all tbh.

Quantity ≠ Quality

 

[Psychonaut]

imo, it's the games that make the system.

you could have bleeding-edge tech, and **** games, and it'd be a **** system.

nintendo's got awful shovelware right now, but the system sales for children (by parents) are amazing.

i dunno. nintendo's lost it's touch, since the SNES/N64 days. god, we need another (new, not remake) star fox 64.

Quantity ≠ Quality

I never said anything about quality
but the higher the quantity bought means people WANT it
and it is not like the wii's quality sucks, it is just the xbox and the PS3's are better

 

[Dimitri Petrenko]

Its all based on gimmick

 

[Chimera]

Nintendo is the only one that has games I like.

*hisses* opinions!

 

[Kanye Omari West]

Me neither.

Perhaps people enjoy the realism of bloodshed

It's not the added thrill of blood per se, it's the fact that games with blood are generally more mature, have more in-depth story and are all around more involving because of the realism factor.

Not to say that games without blood can't be good, games like Mario are amazing franchises but I generally feel like there are a lot more, better games in the mature section.

People have their own opinions.

Nintendo games only keep me occupied for a few minutes before I get bored.

Note my second paragraph.

 

[Psychonaut]

Note my second paragraph.

that's what i was noting. :T

the only games i play that have an M rating are TF2, GTA:SA, and Bioshack.. Borderlands now, i guess.

i think that because of the "games have to be higher as an art form/etc to be good" thinking strays a lot from what games are for some people.. i would take simplicity like tetris just about as much as i'd take any other decent game..

rating doesn't have much to do with the quality of a game.. other than it's content. whether or not the story is well developed enough to be mature is another thing.. i dunno.

/against M rated games being auto-good.

I never said that they were auto-good, nor that games other than them are auto-bad. I simply said that generally there are more mature games that are "good" compared to the lacklustre market for others.

I could sit here all night and list of tons of games that fall in the mature market that are amazing, I couldn't do that with games rated below mature. Sure, there are plenty of classics like Tetris or Pacman and other very simple games, but that's the point, they're simple. They lack the depth and interest of games with fulfilling story which for the most part are mature games.

Ignoring games of the past like Tetris and Pacman, there's not really much in the way of good games that aren't M-rated. There's all the Nintendo titles which are great games for the gameplay alone but besides that there's not much in the way of story or anything. You can say this about any game that's not M-rated, I can't even think of one off the top of my head that has an engaging, in-depth story.

Also note that this is only my opinion, for me to class something as an outstanding game it has to have a good story, otherwise it will always fall short no matter how good the other aspects of the game are. There are plenty of gamers that feel this same way, hence the Wii hate, but there are also plenty of gamers that feel differently which is why the wii has done as well as it has.
