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".

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

Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased". Not "bias")
(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

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.

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.
