Save money and buy a Wii? I say no!
Some may think that buying a Wii to save money is a good idea. No its probably not! People who have no money like me for example tend to buy things that are cheap, A life lesson you will learn quickly is to not settle for something cheap and a low quality.. This could be the biggest waste of money if the item you bought breaks or is overwhelmingly boring.I am not saying a wii sucks because i personally enjoy the wii at party's. Anyway You first mistake would be buying a system because of its price. You should always buy a system primarily on what you want. A Wii for you not so serous gamers and adults, a Xbox360 for pretty much any one between the age 9-40 years old and the PS3 for rich gamers and hardcore gamers.
A Wii on average will cost your wallet about 250 solid dollars plus another 60 for each controller (w/ nun chuck) Ouch! Where a Xbox 360 is only around 280 dollars. I am no hater of the Wii but statistics do show a trend I have noticed as well. According to Famitsu, almost seven out of ten Wii owners aren't using the system at all! Some people are even calling the wii a fad with their only great hit being wii sports. Even more stats that seem to disagree with any thought of buying a wii is the number of games sold
“According to statistics from research firm NPD, and reported on tech.co.uk, Microsoft sell 7 games per Xbox 360 console sold, Sony sell 4 games per PS3, and Nintendo comes bottom of the class, selling only 3.44 games per Wii sold.” and the wii even comes with one of those.

Yes because the "rich" are the only ones who can afford an additional $50 for the hardware... and somehow you fail to mention that Live is $50/year let alone $100 extra for Wifi if you need that, or $100 for a clunky HD-DVD drive.
I wonder how much longer it will take for people to realize that the PS3 is actually CHEAPER to own than a comparable Xbox 360!
Yeah zamfir I changed it for you.I defentilty agree with you that the ps3 is a better deal. I geuss I still had that thought of like 600 dollars for a ps3. Thanks for that little mistake. Please don't stop criting!
Mmmm... what can I say. I'm not into videogames. I don't know much about them. I'm aware that there's a whole subculture about it and they do have a lot of fun. But I guess it never reached me.
Anyway, I saw the wii on tv and I think is pretty cool.
