Seems that the only people that want a Wii are either under 10 years of age, or their parents are extremely overprotective or hyper-religious, and won't allow them to play shooter games or get a 360/PS3

Here's another person for that fanboy thread...

I'm 22 and I want to play a couple of games on it even though I'm a PC gamer mainly, is that bad?

You ask what kind of kid wants a Wii, then say only 10 year olds want one...

A kid who is not obsessed with other people thinking they are edgy and mature. I've waited in lines for several systems and games and I'm almost 100% sure that the average age of people who "buy" the Wii & DS are older then the people buying PS3, 360, & PSP. The people buying Nintendo systems are usually either 20+ year olds buying it for themselves or middle-aged parents buying it for their kids. As far as PS3, PSP, & 360 you have those segments as well but you also have a lot of 10-18 year olds who are buying the systems for themselves and are all about keeping an appearance of being mature and like games like 50 Cent Bullet Proof, Halo, Madden, Manhunt & GTA. I've studied this age range in my psychology course and it makes perfect sense. This age group has usually just gone though puberty and have an identity crisis where they are still immature but now have the appearance of being older, they try to live up to their older appearance by casting off and dismissing any thing that they think is "kiddy."

Funny thing, adults would and anyone who wants a great gaming experience. I seen my days worth of 8-10 years old on Gears and Halo to know where they are going.

Anyways.. Roll call on ages, Wii owners. 22.

Oh and in the future, look into a better arguement.

So you mean the kind of adult who has no taste in anything and likes generic FPS games with excessive gore??

Why would you ask what kind of kid would want a Wii and then go on to suggest the kind of kids under the age of 10?

I'm 24 and I got my Wii when I was 23. Funny thing is that from the age of like 13-20 I was a diehard Sony fan and my way of thinking was very much like the the preteen/teen fanboys on these forums (i.e. "Nintendo is kiddy," "I like mature games"), and then in my early 20's I kinda got bored of mindless violence in games and wanted to play stuff that was just fun and the Wii & DS appealed to me and made fall back in love with gaming. I had gotten a 360 earlier this year and sold it recently, while it had good games, the immaturity of the online community and the ove abundance of shooters really turned me off. This doesn't mean I only like bright colorful games, to the contrary I'm a big survival horror fan and I love Metal Gear Solid, and I even like a shooter or two but I have gotten to the point where the gameplay and the substance mean a lot more then having a violent/mature appearance and it just so happens that many so-called "mature" games sell on the merits of their violence, cheap gameplay, and teenage appeal, many of these games are incrediable uninspired.

i'm 28 and have a wii as do all of my friends who play video games. I'm thinking that only self-conscious (sp) teenage boys hate on the Wii for being kiddy because they believe that only shooters reenforce their masculinity. When you are older and actually mature, than you will be able to enjoy things without worrying about what others may think.

i feel sad for you that you have to limit what you can enjoy based on the potential perception of others.

I was 12 when I got my Wii (I'm thirteen now). My parents are neither hyper religious or overprotective (if I tell my dad I'm going to see an R-rated movie at the theater with some friends, he just says "Alright, don't get caught").

I mostly play my 360 and am a big fan of shooters, but Zelda TP, MP3, and Mario Galaxy are some of the funnest games i've ever played. The Wii is more kiddy, but there are still a lot of games that everyone can enjoy.

Since when do we relate religion with being a bad person? Or am I misinterpreting?

It's strange that the posters calling for open-mindedness are making these kinds of remarks.

I am also 22, for a system being "kiddy" it is huge in the college-aged (18-23) crowd.
