The Nintendo Wii is the best video game console.

Low Price ~ My argument is that price is an important factor to consider in selecting a console, and thus should be a large factor. The benefits from more investment is balanced out by the price factor, leaving a somewhat even playing field. Wiimote ~ You claim that the Xbox's controller is best compared to both the GameCube controller and the Wiimote, but you lack a criteria. Additionally, the Wiimote has its own sound. Besides, on the XBOX Arcade, it isn't even compatible with the headset. The Wiimote is a novelty, but it doesn't just "wear off quickly." The adaptability of the Wiimote to be used as a standard, sideways controller, or a sports motion controller, or just a pointer, or connected to the Nunchuck to give more versatility, or even put into a Wheel or Zapper keeps it from "wearing off." The Wii has the most revolutionary controller of all time. Graphics ~ Well, yes, but all of that "heavy investment" put into the Xbox's graphics is largely deteriorated by a lack of HD, making the playing field slightly more even than otherwise. Furthermore, you said "Performance/Graphics," so I'd say that the Wii does much better in performance due to the use of the Wiimote as a more realistic indicator of skill and action in whatever game it is you play. The Market ~ I know that the list included handhelds, and I never said that it didn't. I simply said that if you only looked at console games, the Wii had all of the top 5. If everybody buys the so-called "childish" Wii games, there must be a reason, right? Well, the reason is that the games are great. You admit that everyone buys them, so they obviously agree. Of course the older crowd will buy more mature games, but the point is that M-rated games don't control the market at all. The Wii dominated. Excercise ~ Ever heard of Wii Fit? The game that helps you lose weight? Yeah, you have to excersice for that. Additionally, swinging your arm is more likely to encourage you to stand up than pressing A+B. You really can't swing your arms around with two arms gripping the controller. Conclusions: GAMES (You claim that the Xbox outdoes the Wii consistently. I take it that this means that the top Xbox games are supposedly better than the top Wii games. Well, do you have any sources? Otherwise, I will dismiss this point as wishful wishing.) MARKETING (The Wii sells more units. The Wii sells more games. I'd say that this is at least a reflection of how much people like the game. If more people buy Honda's, that's a pretty good indicator that Honda is doing something better than the Bentley's, whether it be pricing or advertising.) PLAYABiLITY (It isn't entirely subjective; the N64 controller was obviously surpassed by the GameCube. The 360 controller was obviously surpassed by the Wiimote. Additionally, your only point here is about large groups, and there are plenty of great games that can be played with one player, including Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Mario Galaxy, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Sonic Unleashed, Super Paper Mario, Metroid Prime: Corruption, and Mario Kart Wii. [3]) PRICE (Plethora of extra features? Explain. Besides, you never countered my point about the free stuff with the Wii, so the Wii is actually about $100 less than the 360, which is alot in these times.) "Therefore, I have debunked all of my opponent's arguments." Debunked? More like either ignored, twisted, or commented on. "Not to mention he failed to respond of several of my noted Xbox advantages, i.e. better online gaming sessions, etc." The Wii's lower price offsets most of this. WiiConnect24 is free. XBOX Live is not. "I look forward to the final round." You mean, penultimate round. Now you can look forwards to the final round. I am, too. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org... 2. http://en.wikipedia.org... 3. http://en.wikipedia.org...
