Got one at launch for the boys and I, sold it to a co-worker at Christmas time for cost when I realized that it was more gimmick than innovation. My mind may change in the future, but with a PS3, 360, and a full-fledged HT setup I just don't have the time. Maybe when Mario or Metroid comes out I may consider it again.

I have EVERY system from Dreamcast on up with 350 games, but I don't really play my wii that much. I think Nintendo dropped the ball with it. 480p is the highest resolution it offers? That is so weak. 480p isn't even real HD. That's starts at 720p. Even the original Xbox could render some games at 720p. The wii is hardly what I would call a next gen system.

Agree... have it. Love playing it with my son. ultimately, you can't help but think that the games are already tapped out from a graphic standpoint.

And my son has been playing Motorstorm on the ps3 for the last week, which doesn't bode well for the wii in my household.

I bought a wii, played every single good game for it, couldnt believe how horrible the games/controls were, and sold it a week later. If you're a GAMER, the Wii is not for you. My 11 year old sister hated it as well and went back to playing gamecube games (mario kart) and Super Mario World on the xbox via emulator. Avoid at all costs.

I know this is an old post, but I'm a GAMER and I have a Wii.

Also, how is it possible to play via an emulator on the Xbox? Or are you talking about an illegal mod?

We have a Wii and love it. I don't do a lot of 'serious' gaming on it, but it's great when you have people over.

EDIT: I didn't realize how old this thread was.

I have all of the "Big 3" I guess I love that whatever game comes out for Xbox360-PS3-Wii I know I can play them all. As far as order of use it goes, Xbox360 (gaming online mostly) PS3 (Blu-ray use mostly, with some gaming) Wii (bought mainly for the fiancée but also works well when extended family comes over or great for partys)

I just bought a Wii yesterday, the Wii Resort II package to be exact. It is a Hong Kong version, so the menu is in Japanese. While I understand enough Japanese to know what I am doing, somehow I hate seeing a menu with no English.

I thought about purchasing a Wii a while back, till the PlayStation Move was announced. There aren't enough titles, current or future, to warrant an investment in one at this time (for me). I have two Gamecubes for my Nintendo catalogue and fix.
