My kid doesn't have much time to play video games anymore due to his college schedule, but at our Thanksgiving get together yesterday, the teenagers who were into gaming seemed to be more impressed with some new game called Games of War, made for the Xbox 360 (my son played it and said it was "incredible" as far as graphics.) When I asked about the new systems (PS3 and Wii) none of them seemed super enthused, nor did any of them own one of the new systems (that could be because the availability was limited.)
Everyone in my family loves the wii .
Hard to believe that people who post here do so after having watched The Daily Show, Katie Couric, mindless television tripe, having played Kung Foo Killers and Cyber Nazis on their stupid little game machines.
Grow up! Get a life for God's sake. You're all morons swirling into a black liberal hole of entropic unconsciousness! Geesh! Have a little personal pride and restraint. Here's a tip for your genetic mutant offspring PS3 cultists...your college interview doesn't include a question on whether or not you've logged 40,000 hours of Killer Kombat!
my girlfriend loves to play with my wii.
We had HOURS of fun last night bowling on our Wii - our neighbors were here ( 55 and 62) who had never played a video game in their lives. By the end of the evening the wife won bowling w/a score of 171!
The funniest part of the evening was our neighbor and husband boxing! They were WORN OUT.
This is a unique system for sure .. very interactive, VERY easy to learn ... just plain FUN ..
Forget ultra-powerful machines, forget total media center game consoles, because the Wii just made gaming fun again.
