It cracks me up to see all these explanations (excuses) people give for the success of the Wii.
-People are duped by massive marketing (I’ve never seen it)
-It’s a fad, it’s the novelty (works on $3 hula hoops, not so well at $250)
-People get bored with them and never play (where’s all those millions of used ones for sale)
-Wii owners don’t use them, they gather dust (check software sales)
-It’s for newbies who don’t know any better (The Wii is my 8th and favorite console)
-All you do is waggle the control (Go online and race some and tell me how well you did just waggling a controller)
-It’s supposed to make you more active (It does and that’s a good thing)
-It’s just about price (Well that’s pretty well down the tubes now)
-Just Nintendo games are good, all the rest is shovelware (Unfortunately that used to be too close to the truth but times are changing fast, three recent Wii versions of games out scored the HD versions and others are damn close)

HERE’S ONE YOU MISSED – WE ACTUALLY PREFER THE WII, THAT’S IT. WE’RE NOT STUPID. WE’VE PLAYED OTHER MACHINES. TO US IT’S A LOT MORE FUN.
