The wiis controls are great but I wouldn’t say any game. Skate 2 is far better on my 360 and the video quality is far better as well. But when friends and family are over out comes the wii. The wii hits a far larger demographic. Plus Nintendo has tricked parents into thinking there console is more healthy. One more wii plus is it can be softmodded very easily without breaching waranty.

I don’t think I would want to play ANY 360 FPS using the Wiimote. The Wii’s controls aren’t phenomenal, they are a gimmick that people see once and run out to buy it because of them. It then just ends up sitting and collecting dust after the novelty of Wii Sports wears out after a week.

If Nintendo Inc. was a little more aggressive and made the Wii with real processing power and 1080p output they could have cut into MS’s 360 sales and totally destroyed Sony’s PS3.
Instead they chose to ignore the current gaming trends and made a phenomenal control scheme on top of old tech.
EVERY game I’ve played on my 360 would have been better with Wii controls.

I bought a Wii about 6 months and haven’t gotten much use out of the $400 console because PC games tend to be cheaper and offer more play-to-price ratio than Nintendo’s bluetooth wonder.

maybe it’s because all the people who lost jobs need something take up all that extra free time
