The man thinks talking to people face to face while playing your 3DS' together isn't using the device to be social (IE scope of his argument) but believes it has to have text and voice messages like Wii, PS3, and 360 to be a social device, which makes no logcial sense (btw he only listed PS3 and 360 purposely leaving out the Wii even though it sends text, voice, and pictures)
And this is all before the big major update comes... cause... yeah... why would it have all these features like PS3 and 360 have if they weren't going to enable you to message them? They are it will just be apart of the major update I can assure you of that.
Apparently being social with a device isn't being social in person, for whatever reason, local play is what sold the Wii, it's what sells Pokemon to this day, and what attracts people to some of the biggest FPS francises ever... cause what do you know most gamers aren't people that only socialize online... but they still want their devices to be a medium of socialization in person...

If the update changes things doesn't factor into how the device is NOW. If it implements a messaging system I would change my stance since that would allow for more social options, though still limited depending on who you can message.
...and a family sitting down to play Wii Sports together is the family being social and playing the Wii, the Wii wasn't used to get the family together, the family did it. Try and see the difference...

Sorry, i may not be allowed to contradict, but how the hell????
Wii Sports and the whole Wii is and was always market as "family friendly". Just look at the spots for Wii Sports etc.
Man, i don't see the difference.
The family now has a activity (Wii Sports) that everybody, including grandma, little Charly, his little sister Kyli and her mom, enjoys. So the Wii was used to get the family together, or not?
