    Hello,

    I am thinking of selling my wii for a 360 around the time mercs 2 comes out, because there are no good games coming out for wii and the 360 just has great game after another, do you think this is a good idea?

    If you do you'll still have to pay a little bit more to be able to buy a 360. But, it's up to you if you want to sell it or not. I still think the Wii is a great console, but I like the 360 more because of its games.

    I don't know really what to say, but I think you should just save up to get a 360 so you can have both.

    Well, depending on if you want great games, great onlinwe service and such, then YES go get the 360. If you feel like the games on nintendo Wii aren't going to be good enough for you, then you should go ahead and do it.

    I like having both systems, its a good balance. But if you can only keep one get a 360 for sure 95 percent of my gaming is down on my 360. 


    Just to put it out there I would get Halo 3, Gears 2, Rent gears one to play campaign, cod4 because if you like mercs your into shooters right?

    I would keep my Wii and still purchase a 360 if that is plausible financially.

    You just need a little patience with the Wii. Try saving up for a 360 while still having the Wii.

    Keep Wii, and buy a 360.

    If you can't have both then get the 360.

    Save some money, because selling your Wii won't get you much, or at least not near what you need to get a 360.

    I agree. The Wii is a good console, and so is the 360. I have both, and while I love my 360, I like the Wii also. Just keep saving up, since MS is releasing a 360 with a bigger HD, so just wait.

    ideally, keep the wii, buy a 360.
    But yeah, I would definitely recommend a 360 or PS3 as your primary console.

    I traded my Wii on craigslist for a 360 and a ps2. I was happy.

    Look around on craigslist, there's some crazy stuff.

    I got lucky getting rid of my Wii. I let my brother borrow it since he has a kid, and now the kid loves it (he's like 4). So my brother will buy it off me for full retail price, I have yet to see the cash because I haven't seen him. Considering it was a bad mistake on my part getting a Wii, this was a welcome exchange.

    I actually did that exact thing except it wasn't just for Mercs 2. Do it if you want to. I haven't regretted it.

    I'm neutral with every console(but yeah nintendo's looking pretty dissapointing for anything soon) I'm not suggesting you definitely get rid of it,because then you'll want it again sometime down the line maybe,and have to pay full price for it,but its a great time to get a 360, good exclusive titles coming out this fall and a shit ton of multiplatform ones,counting games already out worth getting,you're looking at 30+ games worth getting for it.  I'd definitely say if you don't have  one by this fall,you're gonna be one bored person with no games to play :P

    I'm guessing he did. I personally almost had a heart attack during the conference, who knew snowboarding could be so realistic.

    And just to put this out there, that Nintendo rep (the chick) looked like a bird. Scary.

    I had a wii and an xbox 360, played the wii as a party game with warioware, then it collected dust until super mario galaxy came out, which was awesome, then collected more dust as there weren't any games that were coming out on the wii that interested my gamehood.   So i ended up selling it on ebay for $300, i was pretty happy.

    If you can sell your Wii for a profit, do it. No reason not to. If you regret it later you can just buy another one.
    My one problem with Wii Sports Resort is the motion plus add on. Will only one come bundled with the game? If only one does how much will they cost individually?
