The problem is, your thread title is called "Whats so "fun" about the wii".  Maybe you should've named your thread "All consoles are "fun"" or something more appropriate.

Edit: to remove irrelevant quotes.

Edit 2:  btw, I do agree with your op, that fun is basically in the eye of the beholder, I just don't think your thread title matches your post.

it has awesome EPIC games and its.....awesome! wii is the best sytem IMO.

Man this thread just drags on and on... Just let it go already guys... some people like Wii, others like other consoles. Who cares? Everyone's entitled tot their own preferences end opinions.

most of its games

I think the title of the thread may be causing more problems than the actual content of the OP.

I think the people who say the Wii is fun are comparing it to recent other experiences they had with video games. Many of them are either never-gamers or former-gamers and have found the control schemes on the newer consoles too complex -- thus they were not "fun" for them.

And I agree that "fun" is in the eye of the beholder. A lot of games can be fun. And I have enjoyed many different types.

Now I just need to find a couple of hours to finish DQ VIII. After 110 hours, I am in the final dunegon.

how come wen i posted a thread like this i got flamed?

This seems to be the direction that they took.

"Fun" is obviously a subjective turn (unless you are living in the world of the novel 1984).

But still, different number of people find different things fun, so that's why you see so many Wii people talking about their fun.

this is a weird thread....it really is..the Wii is fun..cuz i can play most of the old games I grew up with...it plays new, revolutionized games of those genres
(lol at the original name: Revolution)

they truly make playing each and every Wii game fun
(not half-assed ports..those suck balls)

if you played any good Wii game of the genere you love, you'd fall in love with it all over again, as if it were your first time..playing SMG made me feel like paying my first 3D mario all over again (SM64)

so....to me it offers the biggest and most diverse collection of games...

same for the DS...it offers the most options...and that's what I want right?

let's take this..

PS3+game= $460

Wii+game+motionplus+game+game+game+game=$450

for new games the Wii is my option...it costs less money to play tons of great games....and the games for DL on the Wii hardly cost anything...($5-$10)

there are so many reasons it can be fun...the ONLY people who REALLY don't like it..are video game haters..or people who have a biased opinion and don't care to try out new things...people with limited imagination

'cause you can not tell me you can't see some awesome games coming out with the Wiimote...that would redefine a genre

The thing about the graphical enhancement is it could be a semi reason to attract me to a nex-gen JRPG because its really only in the graphics departmnt that JRPGs can improve. Their gameplay is fine as is in my opinion. The wii currently doesn't even have as many JRPGs as the 360. There's also not much graphical improvement over ps2 with regards to wii JRPGs so there's really not much of an incentive for me to try it out. I'm not writing it off. I personally don't care for motion controls as I lie on a bed while playing 80% of the time. Perhaps if nintendo builds a game library that interests me, I'll add the wii to my repetoire (doesn't cost much), but that doesn't seem like the case judging by their latest presentation (E3). Playstation is not the end all of gaming for me. I bought an xbox so I am capable of giving other consoles a chance.
