I Didn't Get The Wii Craze, Until Now

My wife just had her Mom buy one in Florida, for our son, but the wife has a few things in mind for it as well. Now I'll never get to watch my own damn 52" TV!!!

One way or another, I'm going to get this.

It is totally worth it. I love ours. Even though I don't get to play as often as I would like, it is there when I can play and I will easily kill 4-5 hours just playing Tiger Woods 2009 and Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix.Originally Posted by Kathianne
My 5yo loves the Wii "Play", especially the tank one.
The night we got it, it was a 3-day weekend, and we played all weekend, only stopping to sleep at night (and charge the remotes). My arms hurt for 3 days!
I want Wii Fit, but that is something to put on my list for Christmas.

The wal-mart over by me gets their shipments of Wii's in on Tuesdays between 10 and 2, and Wii Fits on Fridays between 10 and 2

I'm pretty sure all the local stores around here have them in stock. I'll trade someone a Wii for some gas!

I got one but got board after a week, it seems to have left out any games consoles main audience (male 15-30) in favour of women, children and old people, I guess it's a good move from a marketing point of view, but bad if you are a man aged 15-30 who was expecting the wii to live up to the gamecube, ps3 for the win.
If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

I agree with Noir, I would take an XBOX 360 or a PS3 over a Wii anyday!

In Nintendo's defense, I think that's exactly what they were thinking. Every video game system in the world is geared towards the male 15-30 demo (though I'd go lower with that, say 8-30). It was smart, business-wise, for Nintendo to go after the many, many people who just didn't give a crap before.

I have all three systems. Not on purpose, but I had the 360 and Wii, then a PS3 worked its way in somehow. They all pretty decent, just different varieties of gaming.
