| theprof00 said: The implication has everything to do with perspective. Some people perceive ALL games as toys...some people think only little cars and action figures are toys...just because a definition is tied to a word, doesn't mean that we are suddenly no longer able to use figures of speech. The two go hand in hand. It's up to someone who is WILLING to understand to make the connection. Naturally, it will appear strange to someone with a closed mind. EDIT: And in reverse; I also sprint and can do it pretty fast, but I'm no UB. I might say, "I am a pedestrian, Usain Bolt is a runner". You see, it's all about perspective. |
Then we can say that considering Wii as a toy is your own perspective. That´s ok.
In my perspective, all videogames are essentially toys, even Ps3 and Xbox or whatsover. Heck. In our society videogames are STILL seen as toys by many people, despite the size and extent of the industry.
I just think that it´s silly to consider only the Wii as a toy just for its casual gaming library, because even PS3 and Xbox360 also have a lot of games in their library aimed at children and casuals. Kinect and PSMove were aimed to that audience the same way.
