I use WiiFit to stay in shape which makes the Wii less of a toy than 360/PS3
I can also use it to store music and videos (SD card) and watch movies (streamed from my PC)

Brain Academy can keep your brain sharp and there are lots of games for mental stimulation like Zack & Wiki as well.

Again you fail to distinguish why the Wii is a toy moreso than any other gaming system. I guess PS2 was a toy by your defination too.

Edit: Where the Wii is different is that it's a pure Gaming System (or rather video entertainment system since WiiFit, Wii Music, Endless Ocean and others are not typical 'games') whereas the 360/PS3 try to also be multimedia entertainment systems since they play movies/music as well.  Really they are all the same - video entertainment. 

yaknow what, if i said mcdonalds is not food. would you disagree? i don't think it's food, although it nourishes, it is all chemical and is so far from food it might as well not be called food.

i think the wii is like a mickyd's burger.

 

My point is that you can never say why the Wii is more of a toy than PS3/360.

As for McD's burgers.  I generally wouldn't eat them either but damn McD's sure does sell a ton of them.  So I guess nutrient lacking though they may be they sure fit the defination of food to the masses.   Much like Wii fits the defination of fun video entertainment to the masses.  Like the PS2 did before it.  So are you suggesting a PS3 is more like a Wendy's? And 360 a Burger King?   Or are you trying to make PS3 a fine gourmet dinner?   To which I would scoff at you like someone who considers Swiss Chalet a high end restaurant.
