To Buy Or Not To Buy?

I've just read about the Nintendo Wii and I think It's going to be a success. What Do You Think? I need some advice because I'm thinking off dishing £179 out of my purse to buy one!! Thanks!

I agree. I just cant see the long term benefit to owning a Wii. Sure the new control system is a great innovation if you can call it one, but I see it wearing off really fast, and after if does wear off what are you left with? Certainly not good graphics.

It’s a good attempt by Nintendo to diversify in order to be able to compete in a market they otherwise can no long enter. However I cant speak for the ladies that have fallen in love with the Wii and perhaps Nintendo can find themselves a new market. We will just have to wait and see.

As a Wii owner myself, I would have to say definately get a Wii. However, you might want to wait a bit as it's no big deal to get one yet. It was said in a previous post above that the release games are horrible, I agree, I only bought Zelda and find it the only one worth buying at the moment, (Budokai was worth renting, but if you don't know the DBZ Saga you probably won't like it) however, come late spring / summer of 2007 there will be about 4 or 5 great releases coming out including the new Super Smash Brothers which if a fan is going to be intense. Along with this are other favorite titles being continued on such as Super Mario, Metroid, and I'm sure a whole lot more.

I haven't heard one report at all of one breaking from heavy usage

I think you're getting confused with idiots letting go of the controller and smashing it into their TV.

Re: To Buy Or Not To Buy?

well I have played a nintendo wii before and its really fun. I would suggest getting one. All consoles get boring after you play them for a while.
if you get a wii get super smash bros brawl that is like a really fun game!!

Wii want you to buy it. It is worth it, and it has some great games.
