The whole fad thing is annoying cause the Wii was initially doubted then continuelly doubted and is still doubted today, all whilst it makes the others look stupid in the sales charts.

Fortunately there is a selected group here, like myslef that bought the Wii day one and never had any doubts. Its a great feeling to be rewarded with the number one selling console when all of us never saw it coming.

It may beat the competition in sales, but the competition has the better games. The PS3 lineup is much better, not to talk about the 360 lineup. The day the Wii is well supported by third parties and supported with DECENT new games from Nintendo I'll get one... very easy to find here since they barely sell.

 

This classification of the Wii not having good games is BS. ITs your opinion so i will respect it, but i sense your needs for graphics and not gameplay. A game like Mario Galaxy is on a level unmatched by any PS3 or 360 game.

The Wii was always going to find it difficult to be supported seriously by the big companies that make these so called DECENT games your referring to.

I imagine eventually the third party support you want will emerge on the wii, simply because of the continued sales the Wii will have and because of MP and how it opens up so many new doors for developers to make original and current genres better. 

BTW where is here, Im interested to know, Im in Australia and the Wii can be bought easily these days, but I had trouble getting Wii Fit straight up.
