The Twits.

These are the twits I twitted.

• 19:34 I... god, this is so hard to type... I... think the XBox 360 is a better game and entertainment system than the Wii. Way, way better. #

Oh, and give the Wii its due. The games that use the kinetic controller well use it well. WiiPlay, Warioware and the like are really, really fun, especially when you have a party going. A gimmick it may be, but it's an innovative and effective one.

The problem is, now every game that comes out for the Wii needs to use the Wiimote as part of its repertoire. It's like a console that plays Rock Band better than all the others requires everyone to use the guitar and drums controllers to play all the other games too.

However, of all three consoles, the Wii is the only one full on nongamers pick up and play on a regular basis. The XBox 360 and the PS3 are gamer consoles. They're incredibly fun, but they're not a casual commitment even if you consider yourself a casual gamer. Grandmothers play the Wii. Non-gamer Grandmothers, I mean.

I find that anyone that owns a Wii plays it for a few days (usually just Wii Sports) until the novelty wears off, at which point it collects dust. The only good games for it are first-party, which is pretty much true of ANY Nintendo system in the past few generations. It may be the "it" thing to own, but 99% of its software is shit. Sure, maybe grandma plays Wii Sports when she wanders over, but the novelty wears off fast.
