Wii is a toy, along with the PS3 and 360. I remember we had a couple threads about this last year.

I guess a dvd player is also a toy, and so is watching a movie, that's a toy too

Yes it is.

No that's an activity.

so then every device known to man is a toy

Depends entirely on which definition of toy you wish to use.

A toy can be anything that is used for non-practical purposes.

Or if you view a toy as:

"an object, often a small representation of something familiar, as an animal or person, for children or others to play with; plaything"

Which, can either arguably include video consoles dvds and such... or not.

 

All I know is that there is no definition of toy that can include the Wii, but not include other consoles and entertainment devices.
