I for one do think The Wii will get there, with 2-3 holiday seasons left and I predict another 2 price cuts, 25-30 millions sold throught out all that should be no problem, dont forget many of those first wiis are dying by now so there' ll be a lot of people buying their second wii soon.

Has there been any reports of wii breaking down now? I'm not sure I know anybody who's wii is breaking down from over usage, even those who play it constantly.


Mine is breaking down. Through a combination of years of being stepped on, and my drunken friends (who used gamecube cotrollers for Mario kart) managing to pull on their controllers and drop it off the table, the disc drive is starting to make some worrying noises. I won't be buying a 2nd one though, my parents have a Wii and so does one of my housemates. Wherever I am I can just use someone else's Wii.

Don't worry. I knocked mine over a lot of times and now it makes a grinding sound. It has been working like that for almost 2 years. The thing seems to be indistructable. I'm thinking about buying a second though because I homebrewed my machine (for no real reason) and they won't factory reset it even if I pay them so they won't fix Other M read error.


Yeah, mine's been going on for nearly 2 years, to the point where I've stopped worrying too much. Though it is certainly getting louder over time. It's on its last legs, but im sure it'll last till the Wii2 comes out
