a recent news report says Wii owner aren't playing their wii because it's just a novelty toy! vote to prove them wrong, i guess. I'll cast the first vote, i haven't been playing (sadly).

I'm part of the 33%. And the responses in your poll aren't very good.

I play my Wii for all the friggin VC games I have so about every day I do...

But I play my Ps2 because it has had Guitar Hero 2 in it for the past 10 months... so you know what game is gonna be in my Wii for a while...

I havent been playing (except for Sin and Punishment and SMB: LL and other VC games) mainly because i have been saving up for the holiday season. Once this holiday is over, those "statistics" will definately change.

I play mine quite a bit, I usually play VC games, and and a couple of GC games that I missed. The only Wii games I've actually played through were Zelda TP, Super Paper Mario, and Metriod Prime 3.

I'm playing my Wii only because of Metroid Prime 3. I mean, there are not so many good and addicting games, but wait until the end of this year... just wait and see ...

It has little to do with it being a novelty toy and everything to do with the lack of big time games like Metroid or TP. I mean the main franchise hitters we were promised like right off the bat and now everyone goes "Where'd all those games go? Guess we'll wait." That's why the Xbox 360 and PS2 have the most software sales. They're showing more for right now.

Since I recently got mine, yes, I've been playing, If I had bought my console some while back I probably would be in the 67%

I got mine about 5 months ago. I got 3 games, RE5, Twilight Princess, and Corruption (about a month after I got the console).. I never touch the bloody thing. I played it for a culmative of maybe 20 hours, most of which was on Twilight Princess. I beat none of the games. I really have no intrest in it. I played a bit of wii sports, but that grew old very quickly - yes, even with friends.

In the end, the novelty of motion sensing wore off and I just felt like I was playing a stripped down Xbox. I'll probably be trading it in soon, sad I wasted so much money on it.

After beating Zelda MP3 and Super Paper Mario there just isn't anything else out on the Wii that tickles my fancy. When SSBB and MK Wii are out is probably the next time I'll turn my Wii on daily. Like the vote said, only when the blue light comes on, cause it annoys me while it blinks during my PS3/360 sessions :P

there havent been many people playing there wiis as much because there arent many fun games out yet but after october29 an onward there will be many new and fun games out like bwii2,moh2h,godzilla unleashed, and ghoust squad. but i cant play my wii because my sister broke while playing a gamecube game (have no clue why she didnt use the wireless controller) she tipped it off the stand and now it blurrs up during gameplay, but it will be back in time for bwii2

That's what I'd like to know

There isn't a news report and no numbers. It's just someone saying that it happened with no proof.

I'm part of the 33%. And the responses in your poll are ok but if some people don't play it is because there aren't much games but next month there will be a lot of good reasons for playing it like fire emblem resident evil and mario galaxy

the problem is that games arent very long (aside than zelda but i didn't like it very much) wii needs a good lasting roll game and they should take advantage more on the pointing rather than the motion sencing that some times isn't very realistic or responsive and they should improve graphics just a bit so that we don't feel like nintendo just could have created a wiimote for the gc

...what the hell does a bizarre Michael Jackson music video have to do with the amount of time Wii owners apparently spend gaming according to a highly inaccurate study?

Well, since 98% of all stats are made up, we can't really say that EVERY 7/10 Wii owners don't use it... but I guess it's a good estimate.

Either way, I rarely touch mine. When I first got it I was like "Yeah, awesome!" but now it's just like "Ok... wow, this would be fun if there were any GAMES to play...". Hopefully by the end of this year I'll be playing it more... but right now it's nothing more than a white square underneath my TV with a red light.

Until I see the report and who was questioned this is noting but propaganda against the WiiJaysonguy

The only reports I can find say that the president of the publisher of Famitsu magazine is relaying this "estimated" percentage of Japanese Wii owners ignoring their Wiis. I'd say this guy is probably well-informed, but it is by no means a formal study. And it's only an estimation of Japanese Wii owners. We all know that what the Japanese enjoy, in general, is often much different from what Americans enjoy, let alone the rest of the world.
