I got a Wii!

I would think that most here are past the 6-12yr old audience the Wii caters to, and being audio/videophiles that a better portion of us would be totally against something that incorporates 6 yr old technology.

The Wii IMO is an abomination to video games everywhere. Ok, nifty controller...but at the expense of terrible graphics and piss poor sound? To me, Graphics and Sound are just as important as gameplay...and attempting to re-invent the wheel with the Gimmicky Nunchucka just isn't enough to compensate for the lateral step in audio/video.

As an HDTV enthusiast I would be embarrassed to have paid $250 for such a pathetic Consumer Electronics Device. It amazes me the stupidity of millions of people and utter lack of knowledge of whats out there by some consumers.

But hey, for every 1 person like me, there are 5 more meat heads waiting outside of a gamespot every morning to see if they got any Wii's in

Wow, I lurk here far more than I post, but this one made me start typing.

I, like you have no interest in the gimmicks of the we. I hold audio/graphics in high regard as well in my game enjoyment.

But your post is awfully offensive to others. I don't think that ignorance should be equated with stupidity, nor personal preference of entertainment choices.

I personally don't enjoy certain types of sports such as golf. I don't think that it should be considered a sport, and
find it boring. But I can't hold it against people that due.

I do understand your logic of this may not be the best forum to celebrate purchasing a wii, but I think it would have been better left at that.
