Is the Wii better than the ?

Question

Is the Wii better than the ?
We all know the PS is the best and every other system is inferior...but do you think the Wii is better than the ?

Answer

In terms of which console will be the best...brbrIts an interesting question. In economics, Milton Friedman of the Chicago school of economics observed that as you increase the amount of an input, the utility you derive from each additional unit of input decreases. In other words, you really like the first pizza, the second pizza is okay, the third pizza was just barely worth the money and you wouldnt even consider eating a fourth pizza.brbrWhat does this have to do with anything? Well, there is going to be a diminishing level of enjoyment you will get out of graphics. As the graphics get better and better, there is less and less enjoyement had over better graphics. Take for example, the evolution of nintendo. From SNESN, wow much better D to D! From NGC, better graphics, but not as revolutionary as from SNES to . brbrBasic economic thought aside, I lament both Sony and Xbox for taking such a boring route to their nexgen systems. Its so safe to just add more processing power, better graphics cards and extra little features. While these systems are indeed powerful, theres nothing really quite innovative about them. They chose the typical path for making a better video game system. brbrI will buy a wii, even after my Gamecube has been siting collecting dust for the past two years while I played World of Warcraft. Honestly, if there was no cool controller thing, I wouldnt have bought any system at all. Ive played every console game abazillion times now, from Vincent may cry haha to bomberman. If I had a linear controller yet again, I would be bored out of my skull. The wii controller is definately a breath of fresh air in an industry afraid to take risks. brbrNow, Im not saying you cant have fun with the other systems. Of course you can. Halo for the Xbox almost makes up for the cost of the entire system and you know the PS will have a killer lineup of RPGs as they always do. brbrBut the question can be phrased simply like this Do you want to play old games with new graphics, or do you want to play new games with old graphics? The choice is yours.
