the wii is a good console

Thank you, Sushovan, for instigating this debate.Affirmative CaseDefinitionsThe definition of “good” is imperative to this debate, yet my opponent has failed to define it. In absence of my opponent defining it, I will provide what I believe to be a fair definition:Good: “satisfactory in quality, quantity, or degree” [1]Satisfactory: "fulfilling expectations or needs; acceptable, though not outstanding or perfect" [8].A1: The experience of a remote controlThe Wii is one of the few consoles that has “motion-sensitive” controls. This offers an alternative style of gameplay and interaction not found with the usual keyboard or joystick of almost all other consoles. For this reason, it should be obvious that the quality of console experience, due to its uniqueness, is at least satisfactory in giving users a new experience (of which they may want) [2].A2: The availability of parental controlsFor children that may want to use the Wii, yet their parents are sceptical of the nature of the content which could potentially be seen, the games have OFLC ratings (much like movies) wherein the console can be ordered not to allow the running of highly rated games [2]. This is "good" in the sense that it satifies a parent's usual want to keep her child safe.A3: There are USB portsSituated on the console, there is not just one, but TWO USB ports that allow the transfer of information from other devices onto the Wii, provided that the information is compatible with the Wii [5]. This is a useful feature to have and could satisfy people's need to transfer data.A4: There are a number of exclusive titlesThere is a total of 363 exclusive titles to the Wii that can only be played if you have the Wii [6]. Of which, there is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, which was rated a perfect 10/10 by IGN [7]. The Wii is the only console which provides an opportunity to play these often great games, therefore the console is itself good in that it provides the opportunity for people to be satisfied with great games.Counter-arguments“the wii is old and vanishing from markets”There are several problems with this counter-argument:1. “Old” is merely a qualitative label without any impact, due to my opponent not qualifying any impact.2. “Vanishing from markets” argues that because something is unpopular, therefore it must be bad. The implication here is that popularity is an indication of whether something is good (i.e. of “satisfactory in quality, quantity, or degree”), which is an appeal to popularity, a logical fallacy [3].3. The problem with both parts of the argument is that they are not backed by any reference, hence they are bare assertions, therefore this type of argument is a logical fallacy [4].This should render my opponent’s argument clearly fallacious and internally defunct for everyone to see.ConclusionThe reason you should vote for my side is that given many different reasons the Wii is a “good” (of satisfactory quality) console. These include the ability to use a motion-sensor control (which is interesting and a lot of fun to use), the parental control systems (to keep children safe), the ability to transfer information onto the console (handy for making things on the Wii or storing data) and there are exclusive, excellent titles to the Wii (of which provide great experiences only the Wii can provide). I believe that these things are counted as good because they fulfil many expectations (which is the qualifer of "satisfactory", as given by my definition. My opponent never contests any of these contention, hence they are all dropped.Conversely, I have shown my opponent’s arguments to be inherently defunct with numerous problems, therefore I believe you should consider them nulled.Thank you for reading =)References[1] http://dictionary.reference.com...[2] http://www.nintendo.com.au...[3] http://www.nizkor.org...[4] http://fallacies.findthedata.com...[5] http://www.dummies.com...[6] http://en.wikipedia.org...[7] http://au.ign.com...[8] https://www.google.com.au...
