Wii's lack of hardware flaws impresses gamers |

A good number of gamers believe the Nintendo Wii's initial quality and stability is solid, according to a press release. Unlike other systems that often come with flaws at launch, survey says consumers have no problems with the white hot console."The Nintendo Wii has really surprised alot of people. The fun begins right when you take it out of the box," U.S. Gaming analyst Alan Peterson said. Out of 250 gamers from the West Coast who were asked about the Nintendo Wii's quality, 82% were confident with its stability and would consider purchasing it.
It's no secret that the Microsoft Xbox 360's earlier units suffered from the infamous red ring of death, and the giant company had to address the problem by pushing for better motherboards such as the Zephyr and Falcon. Reports concerning the Wii, however, often involve broken TV screens because of flying Wii Remotes.

I had to send mine in because my component cable didn't work correctly. They replaced the motherboard and that solved the issue.
Sucked, though, since that meant I had to have everyone change my friend code and now my old Mii's can't be edited (although I can use an editor on the PC and transfer them back as editable).
But still, component should have worked out of the box.
Other than that, no complaints.

I wonder how they got this info. By asking 250 people a yes or no question about the Wii?
When you ask the average person about buying a console, they usually won't think of the hardware flaws, they'll think about the benefits the console carries with it.

"Most Wii systems barely get used"
Lie!
"most Wii owners have only 1-3 games"
Lie! Mostly because you speak out your rear end. Even if true, so? Means nothing in this topic. You can have only ONE game and play the Wii 12 hours a day.
"Nintendo's using old Gamecube technology"
Lie! Close, but not close enough to be called "the same".
"Even the 360 is getting close in reliability."
Lie! "Closer" but not close.
For the 1,628th time.....supply proof or facts of what you claim as fact. Here's to the 1,629th time!
