Here is the key to Sony and Microsoft fans thwarting the Nintendo Wii onslaught.

Unless you are completely lame you probably don't want your Mom or Dad to be into the same things that you're into. One of the biggest "draws" to the Wii is that is a console that not only you can enjoy, but your grandma might like it as well. Did I miss something? When the hell did it become cool in America to be a teen that is into the same things your Mom or Dad or Grandma or Grandpa is into?

When creating the Wii Nintendo never took into account the way that true American kids feel about their surroundings because they only know how Japanese kids are. American kids should, by nature, be WAY more cool than ANY damn Japanese kid could ever be. Normally American kids HATE IT when their fathers and/or mothers have even a remote clue concerning what they're into. This is the way it has always been, and this is the way it will always be.

If your mother loves the things you are into, you need to take a serious look at yourself and your hobbies.

Kids don't have money, the parents do.

As for being "cool" get your head checked. No one cares how "cool" you are after high school. Sorry, maybe one day kids will understand "maturity."

Frankly, I don't care what my parents are into. I learned to like some of the things they like, be it music, movies, art, books, etc. Nothing wrong with that.

wait, i dont get it. are you being sarcastic or somthing?

EDIT ok, assuming your serious:

what if your parents are gamers? what if they play socom and gears of war and etc.do i need to"check" my hobbies?

Racist, ageist and innacurate.

Yup, another insightful thread.:)

QFT there my friend. Some people need to realize that one you get outta high school. Image is nothing. People respect you more for being who you really are and staying true to yourself, then being somethign you aren't.

Hey kid, your parents need to take you on Montel and have strangers give you a reality check.

LOL, I just had to post because I wonder who the heck all these people bashing you are. While I don't agree with everything you said, I think you have a very valid point.

In the 50's, people's parents hated Elvis (how dare he corrupt the youth with those swiviling hips?), in the 80's KISS, Ozzy etc were the "devil". Nowadays games have become as big as music and i would agree most kids are not thrilled about mom and dad playing Wii sports.

I think most of the people replying are my age (30), grew up on games yet seem to have forgotten what it means to be a teenager ;)

Someone giving me a lecture about being "cool" over the internet on a video game forum...

...well, now I've seen everything :lol:

Your looking at it from the wrong angle, maybe Nintendo as a Japenese company marketed as a family thing, but the Wii unlike most other gaming platforms is something thats also more likely to be played by girls, do you see where im going with this, and believe me, THAT makes it cool and socially more acceptable.

So forget about mom, dad, granny and gramps cos I wanna have fun with the girls.

And oh yeah! EVERYTHING doesn't revolve around America and the sales say that people are buying it and enjoying it.

Not true. Take harry potter for example. Adults love reading harry potter just as much as children. Just because adults read books that children read it doesnt make the book or in this case console "uncool".

Dude...Your post is so pathetic that I don't even know how to properly respond to it. I have read it about three times now and I am still stunned. It's that bad. I am glad everyone else owned you already, though. It saves me some work. Please, for your own sake, avoid ignorance at any cost and grow up because what you just wrote isn't cool in the slightest. I am still in shock...I feel like this is a new low for system wars. Honestly, I do.

Here's a scairy thought for many who find the OPnonesence... How many of us core gamers have that sort of mindset? :?
