if i wanna game on console, i'll game on console. if i want to do other stuff, i'd do that on the computer.

what the wii does is simplify things for people that aren't comfortable with "complex" stuff.

don't be surprise that there are still a lot of people wouldn't touch a computer with a 10 foot pole. Too many keys, they'd think they'd break it.

i personally never use anything else on the wii other than game. other people have different take on it and might enjoy the simple weather channel. nothing wrong with that.

For the moment, at least, I'm definitely with you. PC Gaming is so far ahead of console gaming in online connectivity that I don't really have much interest in buying a system and taking a step back. I view Wii online as distinct, and Xbox Live and PSN as mediocre PCs.

This will change over time, however. Playstation and especially Xbox are slowly catching up with the PC's online power. When the console becomes a big enough presence to really support a full MMO, I'll start paying attention.
