What is your reason for buying a Wii, (bring your excuses)

my reason for getting one was hype, I believed it, then found out it was all a lie.

There are not enough core games that interest me enough to warrant spending $250 at this time.SpruceCaboose

I don't own a Wii but a number of my friends do... The only time i enjoy playing it is when we're drinking and there's a fair few people to challenge. I just can't see myself playing a lot of the casual games on my own... although the few core games they have, those i could playlundy86_4

This pretty much sums my thoughts up.I can see the Wii has potential,and games like Madworld and LKS look good.

But I'm looking at playing games like KZ2,RE5 and Empire:Total war this year,and without sounding like an eletist snob,the Wii's line-up just doesn't appeal to me nearly as much as the PS3/Pc lineup.

Certainly not enough to pay £200,when I could get the superior 360 for less.

My reason: I already have a PS3.

And a friend of mine has a Wii, so I get to play the only 2 games that I like from the Wii which are Metroid and Brawl.

I would consider to buy one for DQX though.

Because I don't like the games, simple as that. Same with the other 2 consoles, I would rather have a huge library and not have to worry about if companies are gonna hand me good games when I can just play one I have with mods which has as much content as 3x-4x console games at the least...Whiteblade999

I have one and unless you have some odd gaming taste or like japanese games outside of nintendo's then I'd suggest not buying one. I haven't used mine in AGES, I mean I don't use my consoles that much anyway but lately I bought some 360 games and a ps3 game, but I couldn't find one thing on the wii that I would play

i use the heck out of my wii. i was tiring of button mashing so i gave it a shot. there are games on wii that can't be done on any other platform due to the controls. Trauma Center, Pro Evolution Soccer, Zack and Wiki, Order up, Fishing Master, etc.primitive013

If you are into video games there is no reason not to have it. It's affordable and has plenty of games to justify the price. DaBrainz

Better question I often ask myself: Why do I own a Wii?

It just doesn't have a high steady frequency of games that I care to play (first party or otherwise). Sure there are some things that I look forward to but again they're so spread out that I can't help but find the system disappointing.

The controls feel gimmicky with the exception of a few games that really puts the Wiimote to good use. Plus, a lot of the good games can be played just as well, if not better, on a GC controller.

There aren't enough games that interest me.

I thought Brawl was such a letdown compared to Melee.

I got a wii and smg as a gift for christmas even though I been happy with those games there's not really that many games that interest me and it's kinda embarassing walking to the wii section of stores seeing a whole bunch of shovelware like wii imagine babiez and wii pet horses and so many kiddie games the wii does give you a good workout I find myself sweating with wii sports so that's a plus :) and games like smg and metroid are awesome I just wished theyd stop it with the shovelware and put more good games. tek91

My mate bought a Wii and got bored with it and has left it with me for the past year. Ive played it probably three times. It just doesnt have the games that appeal to me.ajames_123

I like good graphics and gaming on an HDTV, also the wiimote doesn't appeal to me. I've played it a couple times at a friend's house and that was enough for me.

Also I don't see any games coming to the wii that are a must have. Just my Opinion , On my PS3 I get to play Killzone 2, RE:5, SF:4, GOW3, GT4, Dead Space, Warhawk, GTA4, LBP, MGS4 etc. really the lists for 360 and PS3 crush whatever ports and shovelware that the wii throws at you. I do acknowledge there are probably some good games on the wii (enough to count on one hand) but those games aren't a MUST HAVE.

There are quite a few very good games that are on the wii... i have never given them a chance because i can't afford to buy a wii, due to the fact that school likes to empty my wallet as often as possible

Recently I got gears 2, ninja gaiden 2 and fifa 09 for x360

I got GTA 4 for ps3, lost my 360 version, not to mention GTA 4 imo looks and plays better on ps3, I dunno why but it does.

I guess you like simplicity better too.
