Did you buy a ps3 or 360 just because you thought buying a wii is kiddy?

Certainly not.

While certain members here may jump on you for a seemingly silly thread, I think it is a valid question for some. I'm a teacher in a junior high school and I've often heard kids poke fun of others for owning such a 'kiddie' console. Of course, it's immature, but hey, they're kids. The reality is though, that yes, people would avoid getting a wii becuase of that fear, no matter how silly that actually is.

That's good. Caving into peer pressure is one of the cornerstones of being a child. It builds character. It will prepare them for later in life when they have to cave into their spouses, bosses and children. Let them learn early that it's better to cave.
