The Nintendo Wii is the best video game console.

So, it's Nintendo Wii vs. XBOX 360. 1) Low Price -- This is actually a very important point. If one item was slightly better than another item, but cost ten times as much to buy, the previous item would be better due to the consideration of value. Value is an important factor. "While the Wiimote may be fun because it is motion censored, some players do not appreciate that particular function." Well, those players need to expand their minds. "On a system like N64 with a more 'standard' controller, an immobile player or one who simply would prefer to use a joystick rather than have every motion hinder their playing experience may be more satisfied." Thus, the Wii has a little thing called the GameCube controller. "The GameCube controller, in both its original wired version and the wireless WaveBird version, is compatible with the Wii." [1] Yes, many of the best games offer the choice of using a GameCube controller instead. The list on Wikipedia is incomplete [2], but here's a list of games available for the Wii that a player has a CHOICE for what controller to use: Mario Kart Wii [3] Super Smash Bros. Brawl [4] Resident Evil 4 [5] Sonic Unleashed [6] Furthermore, you have admitted that most players do enjoy using the Wiimote. Now, about your price thing. You forget that the Wii has its own additional accessories [7]: Nintendo Wii Game Console (oh, yeah!) one (1) Wii Remote controller with Wii Remote Jacket (valued at $40) one (1) Nunchuck controller ($20) Wii Sports ($40 in Japan, where the game was sold separately) sensor bar power cord standard composite cable stand So, the Wii comes with $100 of additional stuff. You're going to need to find prices on the bonus XBOX 360 for comparison. And as for the controller, the Wii can use the Wiimote, Wiimote Nunchuck, GameCube controller (it can be wireless), Nintendo DS (oh, yeah!), or Wii Balance Board. [8] Thus, the Wii has standard and exclusive controllers, which ultimately beat only standard. Now, most of what you said about performance/graphics is true. However, I have to point out that the XBOX 360's graphics only work really well with HDTV, and without it, there's really not much. Secondly, you say that it has realism. I'd say that swinging a remote as a bat is a lot more realistic than pressing a button, wouldn't you? Additionally, the Wii has Wii Fit [9], which contributes very much to user interaction and realism, as well as general fitness. And as for your games, you say that the market prefers complex games. Let's look at that, shall we? [10] The most popular non-handheld games of all time are Wii Sports, Wii Play, and Wii Fit, followed by Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. 3 (available on Virtual Console [14]), and then Mario Kart Wii. Microsoft doesn't have a single game on the list, while the Nintendo has... 17. Yeah, I think the market preferred the Wii. Let's look at console sales, as well. [11] Yep, the Wii wins, 50 million to 30 million. The market prefers the Wii. No doubt about it. For advanced features, you say that they have plans, but they haven't occurred yet, so they can't apply to a debate using the word "is." The Wii has WiiConnect24, backwards compatibility with the GameCube, and, as everybody knows, motion-sensing capabilities and new ways to interact with the game. Oh, and the Wii also has health benefits. [12] People use the Wii for rehabilitation from injury and disease. This is easily a good thing. Wiimotes can also be used for interactive whiteboards. [13] In conclusion, the Wii is superior in games, marketing, playability, and price. Thus, the Wii is the superior system.
