[...] Wii is Art. While I don’t completely agree because I did buy it for the games, I do think he is a lot more right than people are willing to admit. I’ve got family members who own this and haven’t used it in months. Yet, it’s proudly displayed next to their TV. Why? So when they have parties or neighbors over, they get the “Ooooooh, you have a Wii. Very cool,” comments. Do they ever actually play it with these people? No. In fact the family member I’m referring to has 4 Wii games still in their shrink-wrap below the system. I liked where he was headed with the article, I just think “useless” is a little much.

@TechGirl – wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait. You have a portable stripper pole? My I inquire as to where you obtained said item and why the hell you’re bored with it?

Also, agree with the points you made.

MixB I have to agree with what you said “Point is, the Wii is cool so people want it but then realize after a month that it isn’t worth it.” and I’m pretty sure that’s a known fact.

As for the article, hehe I smelt unhappy commentators a mile away, who didn’t? Because they are just oh so sensitive about the author’s opinions. I mean you guys have the right to express your distaste in the author’s opinions, but don’t bash it as if he labeled them all as facts.

I think you are spot on. ALL of my friends that own Wii’s don’t use them AT ALL. I think you guys need to grow up here and actually post constructively. It is kind of hard to argue a point when you use the word “retarded” . Point is, the Wii is cool so people want it but then realize after a month that it isn’t worth it.

btw this is Fragloser

I disagree. The Wii is not useless, there are several hundred games for the console, and several of those are for actual gamers. Also, “as long as the Wii is not in high supply…” This is something many journalists tend to say, but it’s simply ignorant. The Wii has been the number one selling console nearly every month since it’s release. Wii’s supply has to be at least better than Microsoft or Sony, or this would be impossible!!! Think about what you write! I do agree that many DO buy Wiis for the sake of having a Wii.

Next-Gen game? What the fuck is that? Are you saying that games designed for the Wii aren’t “next-gen”? When did you decide you can change the meaning of words? A game doesn’t have to have high-def graphics to be a “next-gen”.(unless we go with your retarded definition) Think whatever the hell you want. I don’t care if you like the Wii or not, but don’t make stuff up, calling it fact. “True gamers don’t continue to play Wii”…Whatever

Wow, it’s nice that the internet will allow anyone to share their ideas, no matter how poorly thought out those ideas are.

I have a Wii. As I speak, my 6-year old is enjoying a game of 1080 snowboarding. Earlier, my 8-year old daughter enjoyed some pokemon snap. Tonight, after everyone goes to bed, I’ll start with a half-hour of Wii Fit (down 32lbs, thank you very much) and then end with some house of the dead. Tomorrow morning, my wife will start her day with Wii Fit (Yoga) and the day will pretty much repeat itself.

I don’t know how you can say “no backbone” and sleep with yourself tonight. There is more next-gen fun in a game of Wii Sports Bowling than in all of the crap-tastically beautiful games I’ve played on my friends PS3’s and 360’s.

You are a next-gen gaming snob and expressed your incorrect opinion – poorly.

Congrats on taking your opinions and attempting to express them as truth, but this article is pure fail.

@Buko
I’m not saying that Nintendo has no backbone, I’m saying that the Wii has no backbone. Nintendo, as a video game company, has an immense backbone, like you said, greater than all the other companies. Furthermore, when I say “no backbone,” I don’t mean no fanbase, I mean the console in general.

I will respond in more depth later on tonight or tomorrow.
