I'm doing a survey of how many people just bought wii because its cheaper than the other consoles, and how many bought it because its awseome. Please post your answer a,b, or c. Please no spam.

 

a)Because it was cheaper

b)Because it was better

c)Other


I have to go with C (I don't own a Wii)

Still trying to justify buying the console, Since the biggest selling point for Wii is the motion control, while the games I want (SSBB and MK) work better without it. For now, I simply am waiting for better use of the motion control.

I don't think that's it, I think it's selling point is bridging the gap between people who don't and people who do game, motion sensing is just a big plus in my eyes and a means to bridge the previously stated gap. A lot of games allow use of a classice controller/gcn controller or hardly use motion even if they use the remote.

In a lot of better games the motion is hardly intrusive to any extent, and really doesn't do much to change the experience while some games are all about the motion controll. You can actually make your choice I like that the control system is not as rigid.

 

C: Because I like it better

I bought the Wii for motion control and social gaming as my PC is not really able to cover those features very well

I bought a Wii mainly for the games. Back then I didn't really care if the Wii had motion controls or not, I just wanted to play the next Mario and Zelda.



Currently Playing: Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Super Smash Bros for Wii U

Predictions:

Super Mario Galaxy will pass Super Mario 64 in total sales CORRECT!
