I consider myself a semi-hardcore gamer and own all the major consoles and play PC games as well. I bought a Wii soon after it came out but to be honest, although it's got some fun games (and my two-year-old loves the crude GT Pro game), overall it has limited appeal to serious gamers. If you go nuts over "cute" titles like Wii Fit and Mario, you won't be disappointed by the Wii. I use it occasionally, because I find the games not cool enough for 2008. (No, I'm not selling mine...)
the best game console ever:
I think this is the best game console ever. I have had others in the past but none measure up to the Wii. The controls are easy to use and the games are alot of fun. It is one of the few game consoles that does not turn players into couch potatoes. :)
This is a great thing for kids to play with:
Whoever wants to have some family fun should but a wii me and my 4 children love it. Here are a few games we enjoy and or love Mario Cart, Guitar Hero, and Super Mario Gaxley.
A great console for young and old.:
The Wii is a very innovative and unique console. It's great for any age. I highly recommend it for anyone who owns a television.
