I've 0 post because it is the first time i write in this forum..a friend of mine told me about this site only a couple of days ago.

I'm not sarcastic when i say that i can't understand why wii is selling so much..i really can't understand what is happening about wii and i  am disappointed about that.   Wii is in particulary for children? many friends of mine play with it..

but i am not able to have fun with it..i tried but..nothing. In my country, italy, i have won a wii in a supermarket. after buying a kind of corn flakes...well, i have sold it on ebay without opening the box!

And i am little worried about that because i think that maybe i'm losing interest in videogames...but then everything becomes as usual when i re-start to play mgs4, gta4...so?

So you are a douche, and not a hardcore gamer. Stop asking questions that has already been answered.

I think you haven't really looked into the game library.

Even if you have, it's possible there are no games that interest you (okay, I seriously doubt there are none). Still, just like you said... so? What does it matter? I don't get how people can like GTA4 so much, and it doesn't effect me at all.

The Wii is #1 because it appeals greatly to females, especially mothers. And since mother is at the top of the family food chain, mother ultimately decides which game console the family ends up buying.

Wii is #1 because it features new types of games and it's fun. Pretty simple.

If you don't like Wii, you're part of a small minority with niche tastes in gaming.

I didn't want to start a polemic. mine was only a question. I have always played tons of games in my life with may different consoles (from atari to amiga, from commodore 64 to pc and so on) i have always appreciated games like granturismo, or like monkey island, like call of duty o like resident evil, like sonic or like lemmings...every kind of genre, as you can see.

but when i tried to use the wii, i don't have fun. I'm NOT saying wii sucks...i'm only asking your opinion about what is happening to me..ok?

This..

  I just love playing games on my PS3 connected to my 46" FullHD TV BRAVIA2 engine and listening through my Sony DAV-DZ860W Wireless Home Theater (5.1 Channel). But im 29, if i was a kid my parents would probably buy me a Wii.

Btw i bought a Wii also, but i gave it to my mother, she is 55 and she loves Wiifit

So one more reason for Wii's sales is that..older people

nothing.. you skipped NES and SNES back then, and nothing happened to you.. you just have gaming tastes that are different to others.. if you are still playing and enjoying other games, then who cares.. you don't have to conform to society

your post failed when you said you dedicated your life to video games and named tons of pre-modern systems (before NES) and then went straight to only sony systems and dreamcast. if you don't at the very least have NES, SNES, N64, and Genesis you've missed out on many of the alltime best games ever. genesis has a few of the best 2D games ever, NES and SNES have MANY of the best games ever, and N64 has several of the best games ever, including several of the best multiplayer games ever. no wonder you don't understand, judging from your post it would appear you have no taste and have missed out on the vast majority of the finest video games ever.

to answer the other half of your question as to why it is selling like crazy, it is because it offers many games that are fun, which attracts gamers and many games that are simple to understand and fun, which attracts non-gamers. it also brings something brand new (motion controls) to the table that makes the games much more interactive than any other system ever made. on top of that for most of this gen its offered all those things at a vastly lower price than the other current gen systems which have been super overpriced. it also offers easily the best downloadable service of any system with the VC which has turbographix-16, neo geo, sega master system, genesis, NES, SNES, and N64. on top of that unlike the other systems it has full 100% backwards compatibility to the last generation. nothing else can even remotely compare to that lineup of past games. that is why its selling like crazy.
it doesn't have the best support for new games so far this gen, which at first glance would make one question why it is the fastest selling videogame system ever. but when you take into account all of the things mentioned above, the answer becomes a lot more obvious.

The fact that you are 35 and state that playing games has filled every night of your existance tells us that you are not typical of the average game playing Joe out there.

How then is it surprising that you can't understand the perspective of the average game playing Joe?

Also, if you've never liked Nintendo games, why would you expect this to be any different this generation?

Finally I also have to ask the question, what Wii games have you actually given considerable play time? Fair enough to say there are more games you'd rather play on the PS3 but you can't be a real gamer if you say there aren't any games you'd like to play on the Wii.
