Do any "Hard Core" gamers LIKE the Wii

[rayfieldclement]

I wanna play Xenoblade Chronicles and look at the other stuff on the system. I have no plans to buy one though. I am still playing through Batman: Arkham Asylum on the 360. Plus I wanna play Forza and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.

OK do ANY gamers like the Wii?

no
the Wii is more family based rather than single based

The majority people who I see "hardcore" about the Wii are normally young females, some parents and little kids(obviously).

The Wii is fine...as long as you go in knowing what to expect.

Like ALL Nintendo home consoles from the last 2 generations, you buy it for one major reason: First part Nintendo games.

There's some good "second party" stuff too like DKC and Metroid, but for the most part, you buy a Nintendo console for the likes of Zelda, Mario, etc. If you enjoy those style of games, there are some real gems on the Wii. Both Mario Galaxies were a blast, New Super Mario Bros. was awesome, new DKC was a heck of a lot of fun, Skyward Sword was excellent, etc.

If you're a fan of the classic Nintendo franchises, there's plenty to enjoy. If you're looking for diversity of the 360 or PS3's line-up, you'll be sorely disappointed.
