I bought my Wii for its vast movie library and media center capabilities.

Because I'm really really really into High Definition Graphics.

Although to the original poster, keep in mind that those of us who post in forums are far from being a representative sample of the general population, so while none of us bought a Wii for that reason, it does not automatically follow that the "some people" you're referring to are wrong. I don't doubt that they are, but this thread isn't going to silence them.

Nintendo First Party. Period. They excel at "kid safe" entertainment. I didn't think I was going to enjoy it as much as I did... The new controller scheme turned out to revolutionize the way games are played and deserves its success.

 pinch me.

Maybe it's been a while since I followed your posts....but I never guessed I would hear that coming from you.

kn +10. 

For me it wouldn't be worth it to buy a wii then based on your math.

Now:

Super Smash bros brawl

Mario Kart Wii

Maybe Resident Evil 4

So thats 3 x $50 = $150. $100 less than the cost of the console.

After watching their E3 press conference back in 2005. I bought the wii for the

Virtual console
Future nintendo titles
I was anxious to see howthe graphics would have turned out.
The motion controls
and because it was a nintendo system it reall durable.

The "edit title" button should be for mods AND topic creators.

 Here's the only problem I see with giving that control to users....

Suggest you create a thread with the title "Post Here if You Love Nintendo"

Then everyone who loves Nintendo comes in, signs their name, and leaves.

Then the thread creator hits the little "edit thread title" button and changes the word "Nintendo" to "2 Girls and a Cup."

Do you see the hijinks that could be avoided by only giving that power to mods? 

I bought it for a couple reasons.

1. It's affordable and was very affordable when I bought it on release day.
2. It's the only real game system out right now. The other's are trying to be too encompassing.
3. Game prices are better on the Wii.
4. More games I wanted to play.
5. Offered something new in a stagnant market.
6. Virtual Console!
7. WiiWare
8. The DS was rocking my socks, so I had to have the Wii as well.

You can place any of the things I listed in any order you like.

Sorry about the thread title.
