Here's the thing.

I bought my 360 1.1 years ago, when my old PC was shit. So I played it for a while... and that was fun and all.

But now I NEVER use it... because I've got a new PC and all. And I really like Nintendos games, so...

I think I know what I want to do, but what do you think? Based on your experience, should I sell it and get a Wii? To me its kind of a no-brainer... but it'd be interesting to see the what you all think.

Fuck no. I don't play my 360 much either, but I'd never sell it for a Wii.

It's not that the Wii sucks, it's just...it's more kid/family friendly, and the Xbox will be better for you in the long run.

I have a Wii and it is very - although you'll need to change games once in a while...Wii sports becomes boring after 100 rounds of golf, 500 rounds of tennis etc

Nintendo has a history of producing great first party games but rarely having much worthy content otherwise. You'll likely get the Nintendo, play the few worthy titles and be at a loss for what to do next. Save the 360, even if it is shit.

But for all my "serious gaming" needs I have my PC.

If I got a Wii I could play Zelda, one of the coolest game series ever, Super Smash Bros Brawl, the new Mariokart....

those three games are really all I need tbh.

Although I do kinda want to play some console games. Good thing I made a poll.

*goes and thinks about it some more*

Just stick with your 360 man. I'm telling you - you'll be glad you did. The only thing I don't like (although I really don't mind it that much) is paying for Xbox Live. But it's worth it, as MS really works hard on XBL.

Ive had a Wii for a while now, and tbh it does get boring...
Super Smash Brothers is good, and Zelda was great, Mario Kart looks like it will be good, but thats all that looks good for a while.
I'd keep the 360

I guess

But my XBL subscription ran out like 2 months ago. And tbh I haven't turned it on in like... 3 months. Ever since I finished Mass Effect.

Fuck no, you must not. If you are bored with your 360, then wii isn't an alternative. Think of GTA 4, Mass Effect 2, Gears of War 2, ect...

sell your it, buy some paint, paint a patch on your wall, watch it dry, and your already having more fun than you possibly could with a 360

So what? Mine's going to run out too due to lack of funds. I'm not gonna sell my 360 just because of it.

No, Gears of War 2 is already announced to come on November this year. I am not sure about ME2, but I read somewhere, that there is a sequel that could come in 2009 or late 2008.

The Wii is a complete waste of money. Except for Smash Brothers.

Keep the 360. Find something else to sell for the Wii, God gave you two kidneys for a reason.

Guys

I've decided I'm gonna keep it. Good thing I made a thread about it. I'm just going to sell the games I never play anymore but still keep the must-haves.

Thx for the feedback
