Wii is the first Nintendo home console I bought.
Funnily enough, I got a GameCube AFTER the Wii, mainly though for the controllers and the memory card since I couldn't find them anywhere, it also came with a bunch of good games. It's also useful for when the big TV that the Wii is on is taken
So I don't really know what the answer to the original question is. The GC was also a present, so technically I never "bought" it
Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!
