I still have mine, but I've been considering selling it for a few months now. The only thing that stops me is that everyone on CL is such a flake it's hard to make a deal.

Still have mine. For GCN games mostly. I haven't played a Wii game in months. I'll play my Wii nonstop for 2 months then I won't touch it 6 months. I'm weird like that. Right now I'm still wrapped up in my 360 I got for Christmas.

Have a Wii and play it with the wife when I'm not on the PC. But let's be honest. Saying the xbox or PS3 are better than the Wii is like saying your brother is slightly less retarded than the other kids that ride short bus. Sure they look slightly better than the Wii and all, but that just means it takes slightly longer to realize it's still got the power of a cell phone. At least with the Wii I can break a sweat if I choose and feel like I've done something with that 1.5 hours of console play, time I'll never get back.

I still have mine, not really any point in getting rid of it, I would never get back as much money as I paid for it. I have about 11 games I think, but usually the Wii gets a workout when a new game is released... I'll buy it and play it for a week or so before I get bored with it, so not much different than most games.

My last couple of Wii games I bought were House of the Dead Maximum Overkill, and Madworld. I got bored of Madworld pretty quick, but still go and play Maximum Overkill now and then, when I'm in the mood for a nice, mindless gaming session. Bring on the Goregasm!

I kept mine. Still doesnt have a single game except for Wii Sports, but I guess it's kinda like investing in the Stock Market..

A $250 investment will pay off in the long run. the only problem is that the good games are far between eachother. Yes it collects dust at times, but if you already have a 360 or PS3 as a primary console, get a Wii as a secondary one before getting another one of the big ones.

I've kept mine for the occasional game for it I like.
Madworld, Zack and Wiki and No More Heroes being the only games I felt where worth paying for.
I'm not sure what I think about No More Heroes 2. At first I was like, FUCK YEAH. But then I found out Destroyman is returning, and I was like, FUCK DESTROYMAN.

Also, Zack and Wiki 2 now please, Capcom.

Mine has made an effective doorstop for the last 6-12 months.

I abandoned the Wii right after Nintendo abandoned their core audience.

I've kept mine due to No More Heroes 2.
And I like playing House of the Dead 2 and 3... Albeit, I wish I had a light-shotgun. D:

I had told my mum not to get it but she still bought one for us for christmas, we never play it.

Is it possible to trade it and it's games in to get a discount on another game for a different console?

Still got mine, and I use it more than my 360 tbh, though that might be on account of me mostly using my PC for games.

I have it, and I'm still playing it pretty constantly, mainly because I'm buying games for it, something that others don't seem to be doing.

I find it a bit silly that people are going to buy a Wii and then sell it...why the hell would you buy a console without there being games that you like on it? Forgive me but it sounds like financial idiocy to me.

I waited a full year before I got my Wii because I wanted to see if the games were worthwhile to get on it, and I believed that they were.

I also think that people are far too impatient. A whole mesh of people sold their PS3s as well when it first came out because there was fuck all out for it, patience is a virtue.
