b/c its fun....so yeah



 

The Wii is not for everyone.

It has sold to a lot of non-traditional gamers. Meaning people who like short bursts of party/mini games.

Remember, this console propelled Carnival Games to be a million seller. That will go down in the history as the game that kept Rockstar afloat to be able to make GTA IV.

Seriously though, people like having fun and its a white box of joy. You can play it for a few minutes here and there. You don't have to sit down for multiple hour gaming sessions. That is very important to family gamers and middle-aged gamers, which make up a lot of the Wii purchases.

PS -- I am 44 with a wife and 5-year-old son. And while I have a lot of games, I am describing myself in the above comments.



      


I am Mario.


I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

 Ok, ignoring the italicized parts which I've designated as "your opinion", I have an answer for you.

People obviously like the Wii because they find it enjoyable. They tell other people, and all of a sudden everyone on your block wants a Wii.

That is all.

it sells allot because it's dirt cheap and comes with a free game, it's also packaged with a vibrating dildo a.k.a the wiimote which makes everyone have fun while using it, but then again that's what a dildo was designed for right.

It's fun.

Sometimes the simple answers are the best.

There are a lot of great games for the Wii right now.  If you don't like Metroid, for example, that's fine.  But it's loved by quite a few people.  And Zack & Wiki is awesome as well.  No More Heroes just came out and that's awesome. The Wii has Mario Party 8, which is a blast also.  Saying that the Wii has just SMG, Super Paper Mario and Zelda is silly.

The Wii is selling fantastically because it's the most fun console at the moment.
