No its not, its a family console.

Most of the people i know bought it for family bonding and/or exercise, those are the reasons my mom wants it, among many others.

Therefore i don't see it as a console, more like a digital family board game with fitness in mind.

PS3 and X360 are for gamers, so as the PSP and DS. The wii imo is nintendos best/worst console for obvious reasons. trade in gimicks of cash for hardcore games, you can't have both.

Old annoying arguments are annoying and wrong :

Seriously I thought we were past this whole, Wii is not a gaming console crap...

well to be fair Rol was trying to say that the PS3 and 360 arnt consoles. In the end it dosnt matter people will believe whatever they want and we should leave them to their opinions

Actually he was saying the 360 and PS3 were trying to blur the lines between console and PC games and didn't really go long with the fundmentals of making a console for mass market.  Which in all fairness is true... MS and Sony have stated before they want to be the multimedia outlets in peoples homes with their consoles... it shows a lack of focus on making a cheap console, built for developing games on it, and in the past consoles never really came close to PC graphics, this gen was much closer. 

I do believe in to each their own however.  But saying a gaming console is not a gaming console is like saying the color orange isn't orange because it appeals to people more then maroon.

i never said the wii wasnt a console though??? I believe they are all consoles and each company marketed them differenty. just because the PS360 are also media centers does not make them less of a console.
