By calling the wii a toy, I was suggesting that it was targeting a more casual, and younger audience. I don't want to use kiddy, because not everyone that has/plays one is a child. It's just when I think of the wii, I think of some kids playing wii sports or something. It's just the image I get. I dunno, it's very hard to explain without sounding like I'm bashing the wii, cause I'm really not trying to. I mean, none of this really even matters, because the wii is still outselling bread and toilet paper by 2:1.
Anyway, I don't really know, all I know is that I don't precieve the Wii in the same way I see the other consoles. It is seemingly in a ****of it's own. It's not very high-tech, its games are mostly shovelware. (but mostly means 51%+) and it's just not competitive in the terms of online, graphics, physics, HD, HDD, and all the other things it's lacking. It is just the wii. It's a little funbox that makes both kids and adults giggle whilst remembering their childhood or something. Whatever floats your boat. :P0rin
you see... when I imagine someone play ps3 I imagine an imature teenager wearing baggy clothes who thinks shooting people is cool. Either that or a small 12 year old kid who wants to be considered teh coolz because he plays games with blood and cars in them.
When I imagine someone play a wii I imagine:
old school hardcore gamers playing metroid and zelda
some retired folks playing wii bowling
some adults coming back to gaming or trying it for the first time
parents playing video games for the first time with their kids
girls playing and enoying video games
a bunch of drunk college kids having a blast
a group of friends duking it out in multiplayer games such as smash, wii sports, mario kart, etc
