Just about everything about the wii is anti longevity.

Its got the price advantage and will sale good untill that erodes or the market just gets bored with it.

What do you mean? If anything, the Wii is all about longevity!

Just think of all those extra years of longevity the elderly will gain by playing Wii Sports or Wii Fitness...


Iam a early 20s gamer, not a granma. Just cause shes content with a black and white analog tv does not make the product relevent these days.


My post was originally a joke, but it seems humor is lost on the SDF these days...

Anyway, to reply in the same degree of seriousness to your post, I'd say that granma being content is of huge relevance these days, especially seeing how the "technologically inferior" console is still the outselling the other two. That alone speaks volumes of the relevancy of "obsolete" technology as far as I'm concerned.

In other words, it might not be relevant to you, but unfortunately for you (and your demographic), 20-something gamers are not the only ones that will determine the outcome of this generation.


Hard to tell, since many wii fanboys think old people and soccer mons will make wii unstopable.

Fortunetly for me my type buy the most games, amd 3rd partys arent blind to it.


 You're right, they aren't blind to it.  That's why they're starting to shift away from the PS3/360 and move toward the Wii.

I can't believe how petty some of these arguments get.  "WII IZ 4 OLD PEEPL AND LIL KIDZ!11"  Grow up.  I buy games I like, and you buy games you like, and if the first thought in your mind is "Is this game targeted to my age group?" your view of game quality is warped.
