Nintendo Wii
The Wii is an overpriced, last generation console. The good games can be counted on one hand and the vast majority of the rest are shovelware. Multimedia? The bloody thing doesn't even play DVDs even though it could.

Yet every christmas people stir themselves into a veritable frenzy to buy one. And when the latest gimmick attachment such as fitness board or motion plus appears the frenzy repeats. They'll even happily let GAME, Gamestop etc. rape them with bundle deals.

What the hell is the attraction?

Its
"accessible" to non gamers; Ive had converstaions at work with a 50+ Gran about how she hates video games but loves the Wii. Nintendo have just gone off in a new, totally fresh direction, leaving the 360 and George Foreman to fight it out for 2nd and 3rd.

Its a Video Game
For people who hate videogames.

Or put it another way its a videogame that specifically isn't for spotty twats who ought to go out, talk to people and have a shag occasionally

I've acquired, somehow, a Wii, PS3 and an Xbox. Got no affinity to any, so, non-partisan opnion:
Wii: Favourite. Top fun.

PS3: Pride of place in living room. Slick, well-made. Plays Blu-rays. Can also play Call Of Duty and some other things with guns which I like when I'm drunk. Wife says it looks nice.

Xbox: Fucking piece of tasteless plastic tat. Looks like a cheap, unbranded PC. Shite quality. Banished to my son's bedroom. May be good when powered on but it's not coming in the front room looking like that so I'll never know.

personally
I like it because I get to play games whilst waving my arms round wildly like a spaz.

Why yes, I am easily amused ^^
