Gaming - Just sold my Wii - View Post

I don't have a problem with you selling your Wii, that's fine you don't like it, but the fact you think you're going to buy another one down the road is just silly.  When you buy your second one, you will have spent $430 on the hardware alone and that' assuming you kept controllers.  I suppose it's cool that someone who really wants a Wii will get one for cheaper, but I just never understand the I don't like it now so I'll sell it and buy it again in a few months mentality.  I suppose it could be just because I like money and don't like wasting it.


By the time I buy another one, Nintendo will have dropped the price to $200 or less. That means I'll have essentially played a Wii for seven months for free.

The Wii has now been relagated to PS3 status in my eyes; when it has more than 5 games I want to play, I'll buy one again.

But taking the $200 or so hit for a Wii in 2008 is still much less painful than a $400 or so PS3.
