Well, at the time (launch):

Wii Sports
Excite Truck
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Elebits
Rayman: Raving Rabbids
Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2
Warioware: Smooth Moves

In order to buy a console I have to have enough games to justify the price. If there are enough games that I want to equal the price of the console then I buy it.

There are six games on that list (minus Wii Sports), so $50*6 = $300 which is great than $250 so I bought the console.

For me it wouldn't be worth it to buy a wii then based on your math.

Now:

Super Smash bros brawl

Mario Kart Wii

Maybe Resident Evil 4

 

So thats 3 x $50 = $150. $100 less than the cost of the console.


 See, the problem with people buying a console just a small handful of games is that they get bored quickly and then they complain that their system doesn't have any games and they are just in general upset about their purchase.

Now I'm not saying you're guilty of this but lets pretend you are.  You bought the console for SSBB, MK, and RE4.  What do you do after those three games?  Luckily MK and SSBB can continue to be awesome but what if for some reason you don't like them or you just decide you're done with them?  You're stuck with a console that just sits there and collects dust.

With my method, I don't necessarily have to buy all those games but it's nice to know I have the choice.  If I don't like one of the games I bought or I just get finished with one I know I still have other games to fall back on.  By the time I'm finished with those games on the list more have come out.
