The Nintendo Wii is the best video game console.

Low Price ~ I'm not understanding your argument here, Pro. You said that because of a "value factor," a cheaper system would be better than a more expensive one. I'm assuming that you meant because the cheaper would be a more popular item. However, just because something is more affordable won't necessarily make it more popular. Moreover, you ignored the fact that many times it is indeed the more expensive item that ranks as "better" simply because more money was probably being invested into its development, performance, etc. Wiimote ~ Saying those players need to "expand their minds" is hardly an argument in your favor. I'll give you that the Wii has various controller use though, but the Xbox's controller is the best in comparison to each of those controllers individually. Plus, the headset for Xbox is very convenient when playing online games like Call of Duty. Bottom line, the Wiimote is a novelty that tends to wear off quickly. Graphics ~ Saying that Xbox's graphics are superior only while using an HD-TV is completely and utterly false. Nintendo's not known for their graphics. Xbox is. Period. Moreover, I have an Xbox that's not hooked up to an HDTV, and the graphics still reign supreme to my Wii's. You also said, "I'd say that swinging a remote as a bat is a lot more realistic than pressing a button, wouldn't you?" Actually no, I wouldn't. The topic in consideration here is GRAPHIC realism. The Market ~ I'm not comparing the best selling games of all time (by the way, handheld games WERE included in that list, whereas you said they were not). Nor should I have to say that Wii had 4/10 best selling games of 2008, and Xbox also had 4/10 best selling games of 2008. No, my point here was discussing "the market" in terms of ratings. Xbox outperforms Wii in the ratings and rankings of the video game connoisseurs, and the teens and adults who buy most of the games. Everybody buys the "childish" Wii games; the older crowd also buys the Xbox games that are often more mature in content, i.e. Grand Theft Auto. Exercise ~ You don't actually have to move while playing the Wii. Sure one actually CAN jump around while playing WiiSports tennis, but one doesn't have to (they can flick their wrist and produce the same effect). Similarly, one CAN move around the room pretending to play Call of Duty or another video game, but they don't have to. Conclusions: My opponent says that the Wii is superior in -- GAMES (Fail. Just because games are better selling doesn't mean that they're better. Xbox game consistently get the best rankings and ratings over the Wii.) MARKETING (Fail. They sell more units. Fine. But again, sales don't determine superiority. There are more Honda's on the road than Bentley's that doesn't make Honda a superior car.) PLAYABILITY (Fail. This is subjective. Plus, the Wii is found to be preferable among large groups. But how often do you play video games in large groups? Usually it's with a friend or two, or by yourself, which really makes this edge of little to no value.) PRICE (Fail. See above points regarding affordability and superiority. Plus, The Xbox isn't THAT much more expensive, and includes a plethora of extra features.) Therefore, I have debunked all of my opponent's arguments. Not to mention he failed to respond of several of my noted Xbox advantages, i.e. better online gaming sessions, etc. I look forward to the final round.
