If you didnt already own a wii, and if someone gave you $250 would you buy a wii?

Why?

its not really cranking out major titles right about now, and i odnt think the system has a must own game. Zelda is on gc. 

if someone gave me 250 around the time metroid, smash and mario dropped, i'd buy it, i odnt really see the point of owning one now.

No, because I would know that it is still nearly impossible to find one and wasting time searching would be stupid.

$250? I already own a Wii so I would put it with my other cash to fund my new PC I want to build.

NO, even if they were in shops right now. Nothing appeals to me on the Wii, its best game I can play on my GC.

What if someone gave you the option to either have a Wii for free (that you had to keep) or $125 for games for your current system of choice ?

A free $250 (most likely much more if you sell it on eBay) or a free $125? Is this a trick question?

If I could find one, I would buy it. But if I can't find one... then I'll probably get a whole bunch of games for my Xbox 360.

Yes,if I didn't have a Wii.Then,after getting the money,I would be frustrated at the fact that I couldn't find the Wii.Then I'd bang my head against the wall....

But luckily,I already have a Wii,and I'm very satisfied with it so far.:)

None of those games are worthwhile.

Zelda is on Gc, and paper mario isnt worth 250. the rest of them are complete trash.

Wii is the only console to buy if your serious about sports games. For that matter, Wii is the only console to buy if you think that sports games suck too, because frankly they do on other systems.

No, but that's only because I'm waiting to buy it until it has some more variety to it's games. Eventually, I will obviously purchase it.

Nah I'd buy xbox live gold for a year and spend the rest of my money on some of the games in my sig.  The Wii just doesn't interest me at all at the moment.

If I didn't own one now, and they aere widely availible, yes. But since I own one, and the system's hard to find still... it's no.

The Wii has many games I love to play, so if I didn't have one now, I'd certainly get one just to play the ones that are out.

With its lack of games? NO.

I'd probably buy a pair of sneakers or Take my GF out in NYC to some reasonably cheap but trendy restaurant.

Question is, would I waste $600 on a gaming system, i.e. PS3? no.

You would take a Wii even if it were offered to you for free? Even if you would never play it and all you would use it for was a paper weight, you wouldn't take it...

Why would I accept a console I have no interest in?

So it will sit unused? Waste something that could go to someone else?

You would use it eventually.There would be a couple of games that you would want to play one time or another.

If I was offered a free PS3,I would accept it,even though there are currently not many games I am interested in.But I would accept it knowing that there will be games that I will want to play sooner or later.

Maybe. Maybe not. I don't care enough about the Wii or it's motion sensing controls to see. I'd rather just continue with the games I have and will have.
