Said by the president of Epic Games, Micheal Capps.
http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/868/868001p4.html QUOTE IGN: Everybody does! Bring it out at parties and everyone's like, "Oh it's a Wii!" Capps: Part of it's being cheap. I think it's a, I mean, so two things: first of all, great credit to them. The first time I played a videogame with my parents – aging myself a bit – was on Atari 2600. The next time I played a videogame with my parents, 25 years later or whatever, was Wii Tennis. So it's about bringing people together, families, Thanksgiving, all that. I think it's kind of like a weird virus because I have not yet found a reason to play with my Wii since then. IGN: Exactly. For a real gaming experience… Capps: Right, Zelda I really didn't enjoy on it. They back-fitted the control scheme on it, it was better on the GameCube. Mario, I wish there had been a button instead of wiggle and all that kind of ****. So I haven't played anything that I really wished hadn't been on another platform sadly enough. It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. Obviously there's a class of people who really love it and enjoy it and are getting into the games but I'm still waiting for that one game that makes me play it. Who knows, maybe Wii Fit will be it. Pretty funny way to look at it, but I do agree with it 100%. |

That's kind of dumb.
I've played all of my consoles that way. I go OMG NEAT COOL IM GONNA BUY IT and I play for a few weeks and then don't get back to it till a month later. Maybe because I game more on my PC than I do on the console. -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good. They wake up the next day and they're on fire."

I've got to say this is the only console where this has happened to me. My NES, SNES, Xbox, xbox 360, were all consoles I played til my thumbs were calloused. The last few times I played my wii was when I took it with my to Dallas to visit friends and they demanded I bring it
