I don't own one, have no intention of buying one, but I think its great that Nintendo have had this success after the Gamecube. Its good to see creativity triumph over high performance. I mean with the price of the Wii and its games compared to that of the 360 and the PS3 its easy to see why it has sold so well.

I have no plans on ever buying one, but competition in the console market is good for everyone. The Wii and the 360/PS3 cater to a different audience, and hopefully as the 360/ps3 drop in price, the casual gamers that Nintendo brought over will start buying one of those consoles.

OT, but why does Google say that nexgenwars.com "may harm my computer"? It's the first time Google has told me this about any site.

Yeah this was weird. I hadn't checked nexgenwars in like 6 months and sometime in between they changed their design to update the numbers automatically rather than force the person to hit refresh. Maybe this has something to do with it.

I'm glad that Nintendo has recovered from the last generation and I hope they'll surprise me pleasantly like they did with the DS, but at this point I see nothing interestingly innovative or compelling about the Wii and have no interest in getting one whatsoever.

I think graphics are super important in games and so to me the Wii just misses one of the central points of "next-gen."

Nintendo also needs some new franchises, Mario is just ridiculous at this point

its a gamecube with a motion sensor controller but i still bought one.
