It is hard to chose only one reason.

Exclusives, Brand loyalty, because im a videogame collector...

Just because i love my Wii, but i voted for "Exclusives".

Brand Loyalty.

Nintendo has never failed me when it comes to consoles.



I LOVE ICELAND!

Originaly for the virtual console. After they announced it in E3 2005 my jaw droped.

Super Smash Bros Brawl. No questions asked! I only bought the wii for Brawl. I didn't care for anything else. Well until I got some games

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

There should be an option for "It was the cheapest console" which I'm betting would be the most popular option if you asked everyone who owns a wii why they bought it.

I picked "Motion Controls" cause this was what made me interested in the console , i kinda gave up on gaming last generation but because of Wii i am enjoying it again.

Brand Loyalty, motion controls, exclusives. but i only could pick one so i chose brand Loyalty

Wii Sports, so I suppose "motion controls."

Also wanted to play the most current Metroid and Zelda games since I skipped the Game Cube completely.
