Poll, feel free to elaborate, I feel that until we get games that really showcase the new gameplay options, that it is to me a gimmick. Not a trolling opinion, I'm just waiting for the games, I don't feel it will go down in history as a gimmick.

Waiting on Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros., Metroid and No more heroes to all be available in stores.  As of now, wiisports, and paper mario don't warrant a purchase for me.

I'm still waiting for the wii to really show me something that shows that it's in the "right" direction imo. Meaning that I want to see some more games that put story infront of the gameplay.. sorta. I think that the controller might be a bit "gimicky" and games can't live on the controller forever, and that developers will have to put effort into the games story/development in the future.

that said I want the wii to be sucsessful (and I'm sure it will be) but it has to come with games that intrest me personally, the controller "wow factor" won't last through the next 4-6 years,  for me to buy one tbh :)

Where's the "Had one returned it" option?

High Price tag for outdated tech.

An input device that overpromises and underdelivers.

Fails to deliver a compelling game experience.

The games don't interest me, the hardware is depressing.  I'm totally unmoved by tilty-control as it's been implemented nearly everywhere I've seen it.

  1. Terrible Hardware
  2. Horrible First-Party Games (ancient franchises that should have died years ago).
  3. Lack of Third-Party Support
  4. Mission statement that contradicts my demand as a gaming consumer.
  5. Exotic form of input

If I did not have one already it would be because I could not find one. I was quite lucky that I found one.

I was actually going to buy one today, since walmart had some instock. But I decided not to at the last moment. Right now I'm a bit tight on money, especially since I'm saving up for a spring break trip to Cuba next year. So I'm either going to wait to make sure I secure a summer job, or I'll just wait until longer down the road when more games are out (Right now I'm really just looking at Super Paper Mario and Trauma Center).

I don't have time to work at the moment, and there are not enough games that suit my personal taste.

Plus I have to buy a PS3 too. I'll get a Wii 2 or 3 years down the line, though.

1) Games don't interest me at all. Nintendo needs some new franchises.

2) The last gen graphics. Yes, gameplay > graphics, but its still a big aspect any game.

3) Online is no where near the level of PC or 360. Multiplayer is a lot more important to me than single player.

4) Not really into the whole motion sensing controller.

5) Lack of mature games (Killer 7 and RE4 are the only 2 original titles I can remember for the cube that were M). Many of my favorite games/genres are mostly M, the Fallout series, the Diablo series, Doom/Half Life/Halo/Gears, ect. Like it or not, Nintendo has a "kiddy" image among parents/casuals and it isn't going away, so I'm not expecting many M rated games for the Wii.

I can see the appeal of the wii, just not interested in the motion control.  Hardware seems lacking and the upcoming games seem lacking.

I have a gamecube with about 20 games and barely any 1st party titles.  Have no interest in mario.  Tried metroid prime but i just could not get into it, maybe i'll try again later.

The option I need is not up there-the price is a bit much, there are 4 PC games I want, and they>Wii. I will get one someday, though.

I already owned a gamecube and wasn't impressed. I can't imagine that adding a cool controller to said gamecube would have made a difference.   

P.S...how are Wii owners going to play Madden on a Wii? OH wait...they probably can't.

Way to early for me. I like Wiisports and SPM, but I won't get the console until more Nintendo games like SSBB and SMG are out.

360 just givesa a better experience than wii, i think through graphics it immerses you more in ther game than waving a remote around, and alos XBL is just freakin awsome.

Honestly because im not getting one. I got a gamecube off the bat when it came off and it was disapointing. Maybe 8 good games out of the entire life span. Now the wii only has motion sensing to offer, which to me is somthing i dont want, i like comming home from a busy day and crashing on my crashing on my bed to play somthing, not to get home and work my games. Also its a big fad, its going to die, while 360 and ps3 will last a lot longer.

Why does it say "no trolling" in the topic and yet the first option for the poll is "the Wii is a gimmick" And I haven t gotten a Wii yet because i ve got enough games for my PS3 and DS to last me for a loooong time.
