You and I are thinking along the same lines. It's so wierd. I've never seen a console that sells so hot, yet is so hated by gamers. I know in my personal experience I have 2 friends who both have Wii's. When they first got it they loved it. Then they both got 360's and they haven't touched their Wii's <snicker> since then. People are buying it blindly because of the hype. Plus like you said, people want what they can't have.
