I have been a gamer since I was 5 years old, my kids, since the moment they could pick up a controller, but in this day and age, you have to do alot more to protect than just letting them get away with things we used to. Just have a few children, you will understand where I am comeing from. I know I am sounding harsh in my statements, and I know the general idea of what people (say they) want, I would like console code to = friend code, but theres also a problem with that, I have 4 people in my house that use Wii, 2 kids my wife and myself, PLUS countless other users like friends and family members. I understand peoples complaints, but I like it just the way it is! |
There is another reason why they choose a single microphone rather than a headset ...
Since I had a day off yesterday, when I was doing my cardio the news show I was watching ended and I was forced to watch Regis and Kelly for the rest of my cardio (which turned my workout into more of a punishment than anything else). Kelly was talking to some guy about her husband playing videogames online and she commented that he wore a headset to talk to "Lonely people online" and it demonstrates something I have talked about before. Online gaming not a social activity it is an antisocial activity, and most people see it as something that only geeky-losers do.
The Wii microphone is designed to make interaction with people online much more social ... I suspect they are trying to get people to play games online while they're playing games with their real-life friends, and to take it away from being something someone does in a room by themself.
