4 people here at my dorm (including myself) on just my floor own a wii. I am sure there a re a couple others in the building as well. I think the price is its biggest selling point. The game lineup is getting stale though. I don't include the VC b/c truly they come out with games I never played before (I never owned an N64 or a turbo graphics. Other systems are coming also so I think the VC is great other then the rape price). But I have a serious feeling that this is gonna end up just like the DS with crappy games the first year but after the turning point it will be great. One thing they did right with the DS was single card download play on almost every 2 player game. That is one of the single most beneficial features for the DS. It takes a while to crank out RPGs and even longer for good ones. I hope that developers will see that the Wii is not as kiddy (cause there is a good amount of M games being developed). Now if we could just get a few good mature RPGs then we will be set. I know online will blow donkey nuts a little with BS friend codes but I tell you they only use those to keep online free. It will discourage some people from signing on and even though their reasoning is obviously total BS I can tell its to help keep the amount of users lower. Besides they should focus more on making good games regardless of online b/c many places in the country still don't have cable/high speed internet ect.
