I ve always dedicated  my life to videogames. Since the very late 70s and early 80s, videogames have filled every night of my existence. I still have in my house an intellivision, a magnavox, a vic 20, a commodore 16, a commodore 64 and 128, a spectrum 48k, many pcs, an Amiga 2000, a playstion1, ps2, a dreamcast and now a ps3. I think I can be considered an hardcore gamer..

I must admit that i ve never liked nintendo brand and all that kind of games, but i ve always appreciated some games like zelda and mario.

But now, it is for me impossible to understand why wii is selling so much. I tried and tried againg to understand what's happening in these years but unfortunately I 'm not able to undestand why someone has fun with nintendo wii.

Maybe i'm becoming old (i am 35) but it's hard for me to enjoy myself with a console with that graphic, with those title (i hate wii sports)...and i'm disappointed bacause maybe i'm losing something important of this generation.

i'm very enthusiastic of my ps3..I can play some good games (in this period mgs4, wipeout, fallout3, lbp) i can watch blu ray (on my 52" lcd it is spectacular) i can use internet in my sitting room, i can listen music and watch all my 5000 photos on a big screen.. Now i'm waiting killzone, resistance, Re5...and i think the future will be brighter..

but when i see my nephew playing with her wii, i still continue to not understand...maybe if I were 7 years old and I lived in the 80s, wii would be a fantastic console...unfortunately almost 30 years have passed.

so what's wrong with me?

 

Because your capacity to understand people is 1/10 while your self interest(not self undestanding) is much higher 9/10. Is there something wrong with that. yes. Your now questing why the Wii is doing so well. That's because your being baffled that the world isn't you. The world doesn't think like you. And now your trying to find some form of justification to have the world fit into your perspective. Well it won't. If you just move on to undersand that the average person is not a technologist freak and is pretty happy with good enough and simple to use. Then maybe you would get. I'm a tech freak myself, but I do understand the idea about simplicity and good enough. Also the Wii can do stuff the PS3 can't do, and that's truly penetrate into the common consiousness that video games arne't for losers in the dark hunched over watching blood splattering on the TV. :)

Or your a troll. Either way. Just open your mind and do a search next time for such a simple quesiton.
