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.

There is one. "Anything that repulses insecure people who think 'mature' means blood, swearing, and nudity."
