Well, I got mine for my birthday in May 07. Originally, my parents ordered (or pre-ordered, I dunno. I didn't even know that the Wii was comming out...) the Wii to get it for christmas 06, but as some people started to say that they would buy the company's Wiis for double the price and such, well, they ignored the people who had ordered early, but were just paying the standard price.
Well, I didn't really get it. It was a gift from my parents to all six in the family (including them), but of course they were expecting me to be the one playing the most.
That didn't happen. For a few months, we owned only Wii Sports and Play, and everyone played about as much. Then we got Zelda, which we all played together (tradition, we always play the Zeldas together all 6 of us, as that's how we played it on the N64).
As of now, I may be the one "using" the Wii the least. Everyone else than me in the family have exceeded 40 hours of Wii Fit (each!) and my mom and dad have been playing Mario Kart for probably 100 hours at least. Heck, my dad started a new Disaster Day of Crisis File while I was asleep, and when I woke up, he had finished it!
Whenever I play, someone is watching me/playing with me, and giving some advice to how to play, so it's either me or my oldest sister who uses the Wii the least.
That's my Wii story. I didn't really have a launch story (as I didn't know the Wii existed), so I took another story. Hope you don't mind.
