Yes i have one...but all its doing is sitting in the corner of my room collecting dust. Id even pick up a ps3 before a Wii. At least the games (though not very many) are much more fun. Im not very impressed either with the line-up. There are maybe only 3-4 games that ill actually buy. I currently have 6 games,2 i rarely touched even when i got them on launch day. Otherwise for me 360 is the way to go, since im holding off on a ps3. To many versions and bundles coming out in such a short time frame. What can i say im not a casual gamer. The DS on the other i do enjoy.

What are your thoughts?

It's not overrated, nor underrated. It's not amazing, it's not terrible. It's exactly what I expected from a $250 system.

Dont get me wrong. The graphics are right where i thought they would be, but its just everything elseim not impressed with. The game line-up makes me worry about society. I know some people like games like cooking mama, but seriously.

^^^ I wouldn't worry too much. Wii are getting some real quality titles this year with 2 recentAAA Wii games already released - Galaxy and Zack & Wiki. Feburary will have No More Heroes and Brawl, and later Mario Kart. Keep in mind Nintendo haven't announced their 2008 plans.

I was a Wii & 360 owner too, I got bored of my 360 though and sold it last week cuz I never played it. With the money I got back from my 360 I got a PSP which I'm loving. So right now I have a Wii, DS, & PSP. I also game on my computer, and am saving up for a new Power Supply and a 8800GT. Moral of the story: People have varied taste, just because a system doesn't meet your taste doesn't mean it sucks or is overated.

I guess thats true...the next-gen wars are still pretty early. But even so...the gap in between awesome titles are just so long.

The concept of the wii was good, but it had very limited programming capabilities compared to the 360. 3rd party developers are stopping their wii game productions. Its pretty much just a fad that is overhyped and dying out.

The Wii is underrated. Many 3rd-party developers don't take it seriously, which is a damn shame 'cause Nintendo is kicking most of their asses.

Well, that was a fun trip to fantasy land.

As for me, I'm too busy playing Zack and Wiki and Bwii online to think about it.

owned. remember reing excited to play a game like graw? lol ghost recon 1 with slightly better graphics. Remember the past lemmings, just because you had a year head start doesn't mean the shooterbox 360 is the best.

Nope it's not for me. I use it alot. I'm currently playing the great BWii and am trying to beat hyper mode in MP3. I also need to get all gold medals and get all the fire souls in Sonic...

And I use the internet channel, everybody votes, and play my VC games sometimes too.

Those who say it is "overrated" don't own it, more than likely. I'm loving it at the moment - and will love it even more on Nov. 12.

Actually, its been what i was expecting since i saw it/read about it. Im enjoying mine, along with playing CS on my PC, im content. I dont think i'll be getting a PS3/360 until the big titles i want come out (FF 13, Versus, DMC4, KH3) -- those are my only reasons for the PS3/360.

How about you ask the same question in Feburary? You'd probably get no responces as most Wii owners would be playing Brawl, No More Heroes or still playing this years holiday line-up. There's some good stuff coming with already Galaxy and Zack and Wiki proving to be AAA titles.

If I had Bwii... I'd be owning you... :P

(What's that? I don't have it yet? :o well... I have to get SMG first now... money is becoming another issue.. >.> But I do want it for sure... and Zack and Wiki... Capcom! Bring more Wiki to my stores! :x I'll go searching tomorrow... )

I knew the Wii would be overrated from the get go. See I owned a Sega Activator, I saw nothing inovative about the Wii.
