That really depends on the connection. I don't have a top-notch connection myself, so it's relatively slow, but hardly unbearable. Maybe 10 minutes for a small update, and around 40 for a larger one? It really does vary greatly. A friend of mine for example has a very good connection, and large updates usually take around 5-10 minutes in his case.

Well, most people are always offended by: Well, I don't like Xbox. I like the Wii. Well, it's their opinion. You can't force them what they like & can't like. (Most people on YouTube don't care for people's opinions...-_-)

(I own Wii, and PS3, and I have played Xbox many times)


THIS MAY SEEM KINDA HARSH, BUT I'M JUST TELLING IT HOW IT IS...
Wii:
Pro- Innovative use of controls
Pro- Family oriented games
Pro- SSBB, Mario galaxy, Twilight Princess, Metroid prime 3.
Pro- Easy to use, less frequent updates.
Pro- cheap

Con- 2/3 of all games are crap minigames.
Con- Bad multiplayer
Con- Not enough "hardcore games"
Con- *Horrible last-gen graphics. These are so bad that the wii has coined a new term for graphics which many game reviewers use as in insult: Ex: Those graphics are good...for the wii."

PS3:
Pro- Blueray
Pro- *Amazing graphics
Pro- Uncharted 2, God of War, Ratchet and Clank, LittlebigPlanet, *Killzone (I thought this was a ps3 exclusive but i'm not sure.)

Con- Expensive
Con- It takes more time to download a deno than to play one. Ex: It took me 80 minutes to download a RAC demo, and It took me 20 minutes to finish it.
Con- Very frequent and slow updates.

Xbox:
Pro- *very good grpahics (I don't know how they are compared to PS3, but the games are pretty much the same.
Pro-Amazing multiplayer/online
Pro- *Fable II,*Halo, *Gears of War, Left 4 Dead

Con- RED RING OF DEATH!!!
Con- Pay for multiplayer
Con- I think there are bad loading times for updates, but please tell me if i'm wrong.



Ahem, in the wise words of Kevin Spacey..............

1.Graphics don't matter, as long as it's not METAL GEAR SOLID graphics, then it's okay.

2. Some of the games listed in Pro's are absolutely terrible/boring.

3. Some of your Pro's and cons are correct, The rest I'm not sure of.

"...That's rather cynical."

"It would be if it were doctrine, but it is merely an observation of the nature of reality.
To say that Nothing is True is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shephards of our own civilization.
To say that Everything is Permitted is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with the consequences, whether glorious...or tragic."

The thing is, we as humans have progressed so far, that people do not realize how much our graphics have changed in the past years.It's so detailed, so nearly perfect, that to our society, its really just the norm. People expect to have cutting edge graphics with human movements and facial features. So basically, I'm saying that graphics only matter when they are so abysmal that its noticeable.

Yeah, but you saw what happen to Sonic the Hedgehog 2006!? Good graphics, but horrible gameplay.

I don't mind the wii's graphics. They're fine to me.
Signatures are silly little things.

With that in mind, check out my clever, well-thought, and generally amazing level series!

most of the Wii's graphics(that I have seen anyway) are crap. The best graphics I have seen are for Super Mario Galaxy.

SSBB's graphics have been the best so far. Even better than Galaxy.
