One good thing came from this thread. (A link)
Only in Japan could kids be THIS stupid.

Tokyo, Japan – Nintendo turned a lot of heads with their new wireless game controller that uses motion sensors to direct action on the screen. A growing problem, however, losing their grip on the controller and throwing them through their TVs or injuring others.
Nintendo WiiThe Wii-mote, as the controller has been called, does come with a strap to keep it from flying away, but most people feel it's too uncomfortable and don't use it.
Kids in Japan have taken the innovative approach of using superglue to attach the Wii-mote to their hands. Parents see the approach as silly and dangerous, but teens in Japan see being Wii-handed as a status symbol.
"I like the Wii controller permanently on my hand. I never have to search for it, and the other kids think it is cool," said Yugi Tamagotchi of Tokyo.
Kids in other countries have come up with different solutions to the problem. Kids in the USA are more likely to use duct tape to hold the controllers in place than superglue.
"Those Japanese kids have lost their grip. If you superglue it to your hand then you have to buy a new controller for everyone that wants to use the game. Duct taping is much more practical," said Devin Chelsea of Cleveland, Ohio.

Some doctors have said that Wii fanatics have approached them about surgically implanting the Wii controller on their hands, but said while "technically feasible, would be ethically murky." Most concede, though, that it's only a matter of time before this happens.
As an alternative to super-gluing and duct tape, Nintendo has begun offering gamers a shatterproof cage to stand in while they are playing games. The Wii Cage is available for $299.

For that price, you might as well buy a ps3 (if you can get your hands on one).
laugh all you want, the Wii is going to change gaming and how it is percieved forever. its the next logical step towards true virtual reality gaming.
they have sold 460,000 units in the first two weeks they started selling them in this country, and have shipped another 600,000 to north america alone. wont be long before x-box and ps have a similar attachment. then all we have to do is wait till its perfected by one of them and for someone to introduce a quality 3d helmit or visor to go with it for the next true leap in gaming.
no more will people picture gamers and pasty skinned over weight geeks pounding away on a computer keyboard or sitting on a couch with a hand controller.
Wii can change the entire worlds perception of what it means to be a "gamer".
not to mention, a good way for parents to get their pasty skinned fat **** kids off the couch and get a little aerobic exorcize in them to get the blood pumping once in a while. who knows, mabe the next time some school bully knocks the books out of his hands in the hall, he will whip his **** with moves he learned from playing mortal combat with a Wii controller..........

Indeed, now when kids stab other kids it'll be because they learned how from their Wii. Fist fights will be caused by interactive fighting games. Vandalism will be taught by faulty wrist straps and sweaty hands meeting daddies 2000 dollar TV.
Don't think we don't see what your up to Nintendo.

No, now we'll just picture them as drooling, lonely guys with a strap-on controller air-fucking themselves senseless on a Saturday night.
You're right, much better image.

Devin Chelsea is so wise. Duct tape is much more practical because you don't have to buy another controller. Being able to remove the duct tape and drop the controler is totally irrelevant.
About the Wii, i think Nintendo will probably be the first to lunch real VR games. But when i'm back from work, and i had a bad day, i like to play video games while sitting on my very comfortable couch. The last thing i want is having to work again to play.

I knew that some games didn't require to be very active, but i didn't know (and still don't) if you can play like that with every games. If you can, what's the point for Nintendo in basing their entire console concept on activity?
Anyway, it's still too much for me. I like being totally immobile while playing.
edit: oh, by the way, that link made me smile, so thank you ^^
edit 2: i just clicked the link again and noticed they said Wii sports. I don't play those games either.

Because you can. Do you not immerse yourself in a game? Don't you wanna live it for all it's entertainment value if you can? One baby step closer to VR.
Besides, you look like a fat retarded fucking pig if you just sit there.

Immerse myself in a game?... I guess... Want to live it? no. I'm not sure i really want VR either. If i want a VR game, i might as well do it in reality. Fantasy games would be hard and too weird for me but...

Fat, no. Pig, no. I might LOOK retarded if i just sit there, yeah. But i don't care. I'm not too sure i would look any more brilliant playing on any console, sitting or doing work-out with a wiimote.

they are not. you can still get a sit on your butt controller to use with the Wii. what they ARE doing is adding another dimension to gaming instead of just upgrading the graphics adn not making the system backward compatable like x-box and PS3 so you buy their new games and have to have their new system to play them.
in other words, they are giving you something totally new for 250 bucks. xbox and ps3 are just giving you a graphics upgrade for 4oo to 6oo bucks.
the Wii is smoking both of them combined in sales right now too. it is a step closer to VR. a step no one else was willing to committ to in this chicken sheit world of "give them what we KNOW works".
they stuck their corperate necks out, with something that should have been a no brainer in the march to VR, the place where video gaming is ineviatably heading. and they are getting rewarded for it now.
wife and kids are out of town untill after new years. my....errrr...their Wii is sitting under the tree mocking me.......

PS3 will have Final Fantasy. But the Wii is just sounding cooler every time I hear about it.
Decisions, decisions.
Definitely not an easy choice.

People will buy xbox360 and ps3 and their new games. I'm not sure i see your point here...

XBox and PS3 are much more than better graphics. They're much more powerful, which means better IA, more depth/possibilities in their games.

I aggree. Nintendo made a courageous decision. As i said above, they will probably be the first to implement VR games and i admire it all. But i doubt the lead they have will last. I think what they have now is mostly due to the low price of the Wii. Eventually, more and more of the other consoles will sell, Wii owners will buy other consoles. I'm betting on the ps3.

----------------------------------------------------------------
the cost.
thats my point. xbox and ps3 are retail whores. they intentioanlly make them so they are not backward compatable so to play that new cool game, you have to not only pony up 50 bucks for the game, you have to pony up 400 to 600 bucks for the machine to run it, and a couple hundred dollars in accessories.
the Wii is backward compatable. infact, you can go online and download their older games for free and burn them to disk and play them.
and you are wrong about the graphics thing. that is all xbox and ps3 is offering. the games still play the same, just slightly better graphics. the only thing you are getting from "more powerfull" is "more graphics", end of story. the controllers stil work the same way, the games still play the same way, what you can do ingame hasnt changes in years.
just slightly better graphics. something you can get for a couple hundred dollars by upgrading your graphics card and mabe your memory on your pc for a hell of alot less money than "keeping up with the joneses" by getting sucked in to a retail *****.
the Wii adds a totally new concept, a new dimension to gaming. xbox and ps3 add......nothing. just updated graphics on a machine that will only play NEW games designed to......suck mo money out of your pocket.
but im not trying to sell you. this is just how i see it. i get so sick of "latest and greatest" crap that cost hundreds of dollars and dont really do anything last years latest and greatest did.
for instance, i built a new box. a 4200 amd duel processor with PCI-E video card and SATA. i have an old amd 2100 that i added a new AGP video card to adn more ram. the differance between the two machines on EQ2 is margonal. they will both work on the same settings. "dual processor" ohhhh, ahhhhh, got to have it, blows the other stuff away. PCI-E video, ohhh, ahhh, twice as fast as AGP.
BS
just hype. all of it.
anad hype is all your getting with Xbox and ps3. hype to suck alot od dollars out of your pocket for something that MAY be margonally better than what you already have, but which makes everything you already paid for.....useless.
atleast with the Wii, you can SEE something totally new BEFORE you dish out the bucks. not just talk. but something that is totally new. and my hats off for them making it backward compatable. there is no reason, other than pure greed, that xbox and ps3 couldnt have done it. infact, i would be willing to bet they had to ADD programing so the older stuff WOULDNT work on the new system intentionally.
retail whores selling you a box of hype.
just my openion. but then, im the type that wouldnt spend as much on a console box as a PC cost, especially in light of you can get most of their titles in PC format and run it on a vastly superrior system. but thats just me. i dont believe in owning two things that can do exactly the same thing. im cheap like that. i bought my kids a ps2 last year when xbox came out. they played it for a few weeks and went back to WoW. so there it sits. barely 20 hours on my 250 dollar investment for a console, additional controller and some memory cards. not counting the games, of which every one has a PC version.
at least with the Wii, you can SEE you are getting something you cant get anywhere else.
