jOG, for the laziest gamers

If you want to, you can really get into a Wii game. Sure, it's possible to play most of 'em from the deepest recess of the sofa (even Wii Fit, if you want to cheat, you cheater), but alternately, if you feel like running back and forth in an aggressive game of Wii Sports tennis, or jogging until your legs fall off with Wii Fit, you can. But you've got to have the proper motivation first. For some, that's as simple as finding joy in bouncing around aimlessly ... and for others, that motivation lies in being forced to It's a neat idea in theory, and one we've seen before, but the execution of this one may be somewhat lacking. How are you expected to do any precise aiming, or, hell, accomplish anything at all while jogging in place? Worse, you probably have to jog with authority just to get everything to register.
They'll probably sell oodles of 'em, regardless.

This is because the Wii is for babies, has no hardcore games (just minigame compilations) and just sits in corner gathering dust. They're trying to cure grandma's arthritis.
Oh, and 360 is better because is has manly games and better graphics.

I have no idea if that was sarcasm, because some people actually think like that.

Don't you mean:
You suck and all FPSs suck and Wii is the best and I play it every day and my 360 gathers dust!?

Few Things.
You fail to signify the "this" in your first sentence.
Try to troll in proper English.
Also, jogging would be an awful idea for a grandmother with arthritis.
Keep it up.

Or maybe he was going to say was "What I meant to say was that the Wii is under-appreciated and that Xbox 360 and PS3 are way too overrated not to mention they have nothing but WWII FPSes and games where heads get blown off!" Did I heard "the Wii sucks"? Gee, I've heard that one before....Where did I hear that..? Oh, yeah! From PS3 and Xbox 360 fanboys!

2nd cab off the rank, even after I revealed my evil plan. Reminds me of Antispore.

What are even doing on this site then? Guess i shouldn't feed the troll. Oh and FPS's are awesome, but Mouse+KB mops the floor with dual analog. Give me a PC (FPS true platform) over a console any day.

Cha-Ching!
OK, I've had my fun now.
Personally I detest 360's, as they are nothing more than gimped PC's, which cost twice as much as an upgrade. But my favourite is the Wii, because it has different content to the other consoles (mainly first party stuff)

Ok, well as Ferco said i couldnt tell if that was sarcasm as i know there so many people that are really like that. And i feel the same way with the Wii, offers me something a little different, and truth be told im a huge fan of Zelda, Mario, and Metroid and your only going to get that at the N.

Wow, I'm really happy these comments had a happy ending. I was starting to get kinda depressed.
