But that wouldn't work, because nobody spends 500 hours of pay time on his Wii or Wii2 because Wii's are just fads.

Exactly... I certainly didn't rack up 500 hours within 6 months of owning it. (admitedly 100 of those were for the internet channel, which doesn't use the disc drive, so add another month for 500 hours of spinning)

I knew I was right. Wii's are just played in the first six months, after that, they are only collecting dust.

Unfortunately I was on it a further 500 hours in the next 4 months, and am probably around 2600-2800 now (with about 800-900 being non-disc spinning, most of that being the internet channel, but also other channels and DL games)

So either I just ruined you joke, ruined the theory, or we could go int wilder speculations that I am in fact 6 people and thus it was still under 500 hours per person.

You completely ruined my joke. But that is ok, because I could just prove in another thread that your calculations were completely off .

So you are saying the hours I have played are goig to be adjusted down to 500.

No, I think he is going to cut your body into 1/4's so your playtime drops.  If you are a starfish you should be able to survive.

Is that true? or are you thinking of sponges?

If you were not, then that's pretty neat... what do the bitsof starfish do, live on their own or grow a new bit or re-attach.

I think each "arm" has to have some of the center to survive. Actually found this on wiki...


Some species of sea star also reproduce asexually by fragmentation, often with part of an arm becoming detached and eventually developing into an independent individual sea stars. This has led to some notoriety. Sea stars can be pests to fishermen who make their living on the capture of clams and other mollusks at sea as sea stars prey on these. The fishermen would presumably kill the sea stars by chopping them up and disposing of them at sea, ultimately leading to their increased numbers until the issue was better understood. A sea-star arm can only regenerate into a whole new organism if some of the central ring of the sea star is part of the chopped off arm.

Edit: Also found this on wiki...

Some species of sea star have the ability to regenerate lost arms and can regrow an entire new arm in time. Most species must have the central part of the body intact to be able to regenerate, but a few can grow an entire sea star from a single ray. Included in this group are the red and blue Linckia star. The regeneration of these stars is possible due to the vital organs kept in their rays.

Hey Joking Asside if Nintendo starts selling multiple Wii's to the same household they are going to have to change the way Wii Shop works (doesn't work). People will be pissed that only Wii they bought the Virtual console or Wii Ware games on can play them and if they want to play these games they have to pay for them again. I know that a majority of Wii owners are not online therefore do not own Virtual Console or Wii Ware games but I will not buy another Wii for that reason 1 will be fine. Sony and Microsoft do this much better and Nintendo needs to get with the times and work out this major issue
