I have a Wii and PS3 but I love seeing Wii get made fun of, some people cant take jokes -_-. I still dont think the Wii is a toy, its just marketed to younger people i guess, its always funny seeing people compare all 3 consoles, the Wii always gets the least offensive label (poodle, kiddy ride, etc.)

They are toys. I fail to see what there is to be made fun of.

Lots of people call PS3's and 360's "toys". Lots of people call motorcycles and sports cars "toys". Lesson of this story, toys rock.

Since when did being a toy have a bad stigma attached to it?
It sounds like some of you are insecure of your "adultness".

In my opinion, anything that is entertaining can be considered a toy.
And whatever, it's outselling the other two consoles STILL.

Whatever you want to call it it's kicking ass and taking names later. It may not be my favorite game console but I have to give credit where it's due.

The only console that's not a toy is probably the PS3 and PS2. Every other console and handheld is a toy.

PS3 is a home entertainment system that plays games as well imo

Xbox 360 + Wii are video game consoles

Toys are elmo dolls that have lead in them.

Its not hard to see the difference.

Only Sony looks at their console as more then a toy. A sophisticated multimedia hotbed which should be at the center of your living room overtaking all of your other elcetronic devices except your 50 inch Sony flat panel LCD. A sleek black finsih makes you feel liek a REAL adult having one of these shiny plastic consles in your entertainment cabinet except we'll take care of the videogames part after we make sure you're buying into our Blu-Ray revolution.

You don't need a PS3 to survive or to go about your daily life. It's a toy, also.

And a Blu-ray player happens to be something you don't need. Mainly something to toy around with and watch films in your free time. Everything that isn't needed can easily be considered a "toy". Nothing wrong with that. Grown ups need their toys, too.

Any physical object that provides visual/audio entertainment, or provides an adrenaline rush can be considered a toy.

Some definitions of TOY from the internet:
*An artifact designed to be played with.
*something enjoyable to use: a belonging that gives the owner pleasure to use.
(He showed us his latest toy, a new DVD player.)
*To amuse oneself idly.

I fail to see why the Wii being labled as a toy is so weird, because it really is a toy. As well as the PS3 and 360 :roll:

I guess you can put it that way. To me, a toy is something you play with. I don't play with movies :P, but that's my definition, to each his own.

I understand why it's there. They don't want to have tons of tiny categories. They'd rather have a few large categories. So video games are most closely associated with toys than anything else, so the wii made the list. The ps3 or 360 could just as easily be there.
