But look at what people typically buy for Wii outside nintendo games :P

All casual or pirates.

With games like World of WarCraft, Bejewel, 100s of Facebook games, StarCraft 2, Maple Story and the Sims, its no surprise why Microsoft's Windows platform is an extremely popular platform to game on:lol: :lol:

I'm guessing some people build $2000 PCs and pirate the games to save money.
