I play it sporadically I played it quite a lot at the end of last year and the start of this thanks to Xenoblade Chronicles and The Last Story but now its not doing a lot again. I tend to play one console a lot and ignore the others then switch. My PS3 was collecting dust for ages I just used it as a DVD player now my 360 is collecting dust instead im sure it will change again before long.

My retail games do, despite owning like 15 games I think I've played only 4 in the past year:

House of the Dead: Overkill
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom
Monster Hunter Tri

But I use the virtual console on a weekly basis now with the following titles:

Super Mario RPG
Castlevania(s) I-IV + Adventure ReBirth
Super Mario Bros. 1-3
Super Mario 64
Metroid & Super Metriod
Donkey Kong Country 1&2

I really wish they`d put Gameboy Advanced games on the VC as well then I could play more Castlevania games like Circle of the Moon.

Nope mine actually gets a fair bit of use.The only drawback is the lack of games coming out now.I genuinely can't think of a single game released this year that I have any interest in buying

As a gaming system? Yes, absolutely. I can't remember the last time I played a game on it. As a homebrew platform that can be hooked up to an SD TV, on the other hand? I use it just about daily. The media players alone make the darned thing one of the more useful pieces of electronics in my room.

If I had a Wii, it would collect dust. I knew that and so never bought one. I'm not its target audience.

Not to mention No More Heroes actually came out in a better release for the PS3.

Yep. I don't even know where the thing is... my dad bought one ages back for the family. I used it regularly because I enjoyed the boxing and me and my gran played bowling quite a lot. Then it just kind of fell into disuse...

I'm not even sure I still have a Wii...I think it might be underneath my Gossip Girl boxset and Lily Allen albums and all the other things I pissed money up the wall on.

Yeah.
The only thing is I cannot remember when I last powered it up.

Absurdism at work: For a game system that was so financially successful, it definitely has the worst variety and quality of games; no lasting power.

It is the only game console I have ever shelved not due to lack of space around my home entertainment set up, but for the sole fact that I never use the sodding thing.

I clearly fucked it up somehow.

Yes I only own maybe three games worth playing on it,
the last game I played was Xenoblade Chronicles.

Yeah, I haven't touched it in quite a while. Since I've been back from uni, it's just been in a bag on the top of my wardrobe.

Occasionally when friends come over I will get it out...but not much. Saying that, we had a great session over at a mate's house a few weeks ago where three of us were playing Mario Kart and Smash Bros for a very long time. But that's the thing - as soon as I've had my fill, I'm done.

If it were only mine, yes. The last game I played on it was Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, and that was a while back. I haven't played anything on it since. Some of my family members like to play on it though.

I still use it for Netflix and SSBB, but that's only when I have company, or want to watch anime.

Well I just beat Xenoblade Chronicles just a few minutes ago. And I urge anyone, who is into RPG's and has a Wii to get this game. Seriously, you won't be disappointed.

Well, what are you waiting for?? GET BLOODY GOING!
