I disagree. It's not a gadget, it's a doohickey.

Really. Maybe its a frisbee. Or a multi-drink coaster. Or a toaster. Could be anything I guess... just not a gaming machine.

I will avoid reading this after looking at the source link. I need not comment since everyone else will be more than happy to bash this article.

The source it comes from doesn't automatically make it rubbish. I completely agree with it and I've owned every single Nintendo console. The author says that Nintendo's approach has been brilliant from a financial standpoint and declares it an unquestionable success. It's the identity of the Wii that he questions.

Keep this in mind when reading what I type...

I've been gaming longer than many of you have been alive.

So me playing it everyday and owning over 40 games means I'm just a gadget whore then right. Oh well.

Hear that guys... I'm not a gamer anymore. Oh well.

No we are all gadgeters not gamers!

No I'm a gamer. I don't buy every electronic out there or mess with PC tech specs like the rest of yall. I stick to gaming machines and thats it. But of course, with the Wii, I guess I am a gadget whore now. Because obviously its not a gaming machine anymore despite that being the only thing it does.

This is a troll thread and nothing more, just look at where he got his link.

I'm going to start counting the minutes you have left before you get banned, or if you're lucky, just this thread locked.
