Sorry I am genuinely interested. You posted while I was typing my reply to Rol, and I had to go help someone with a problem. Thanks for the info I think that is a very good price, and will probably trade the console in next week for store credit. I just need to decide what games to buy with the money.

To answer your question why. Well I am not interested in casual fare, and Nintendo made it sadly even painfully obvious at their E3 press conference that they are not interested in developing core games for their console. Which was why I have held onto the console for so long. I wanted to keep it until I got to play games like Starfox, Pilotwings, and so forth. Now that I know they are not coming its a console without any purpose for me.

I mean I haven't played it for over a year. So you know time to give up the ghost. Hell I could even use the money for something other then games. Perhaps get some new books, movies, or I was thinking about getting a Sirius radio. At this point I would get so much more out of them.


honestly, sell it to somebody who wants it. you probably will get the most out of your sale around christmas time when they get harder to find. gamestop will rip you off. if you want to sell your wii for cash youre looking at a little over 100 dollars

O_o  Me thinks you never actually checked up on this years E3. Cause your comment is pretty opposite of what was actually presented.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

^ yea, i was actually really pleased with this years e3. 2008's was horrible though

LOL thats pretty funny =) Im not used to seeing TresTres posting joke "wii is doomed" threads. They should have changed the background a bit for photoshop editing

The difference is, I never pretended to be a fan of Sony...

NJ5 you are a Sony fan, everyone knows that. That's right.

Fullfilled Prophecies

I watched the conference from start to finish. I was left mostly distraught, and quite disturbed. I do not know perhaps I was the only one that caught the veiled insinuations behind the remarks that were made. Which were the experience needs to be kept sloppy so grandma can play, and that third parties would take care of the rest.

I am sorry fuck grandma. She already has gotten enough fucking games. Fuck the third parties I buy Nintendo consoles to play Nintendo first party games. Third parties take care of me on my other console. So once again why own a Wii.

I have already tried to pawn the console off on friends and family. A hundred dollars would actually be the best offer I have gotten. Is the market for the console that much better on Ebay?

I am not trying to come off as an ass, but well that is just how I feel. I saw the conference, and it was like the last straw for me. The last hopes I had for the console broke right there. So I am done with that, and probably done with Nintendo period. Hell I was so blah after the whole thing that I couldn't bring myself to watch the Sony conference, and I had actually wanted to watch it. Instead I just buried myself in Halo 3.

Anyway my only wisdom is this. Sony whatever you do. Do not have your conference after the Nintendo conference next year.



Wii in the US is going to be fine. If something started to happen, They would cut the price and/or toss in more stuff with it.

Wii/Wii Sports with Wario Ware... I know to 99% of people that would sound lame, but it would make people on the fence who don't play hardcore final pick one up, and Nintendo doesn't sell them a huge title the new costumes would have bought anyway.
