My girlfriend and I bought a Wii. Controls aside, I like Nintendo and I think they are one of the few companies left who focus on the "Games should be fun" philosophy.

The Wii was cheaper than its competitors.

If I had the money for a PS3, I still sure as hell wouldn't buy one. PC's will outperform it in months, and I think that the PS/XBOX style controllers are inferior to a mouse and keyboard when it comes to Strategy and FPS games.

The cell processor is a great thing, don't get me wrong, but I more look forward to seeing it used in computer science research than powering games whose graphical grandeur will be surpassed in less than a year.

Also, as a gamer, I wanted to support what Nintendo is trying to do with its new control system - give us more ways to play!

I can deal with poor graphics - I can't deal with a price tag comparable with what I would call a great gaming PC.

The Wii is cheap, fun for myself and my friends, family and whoever stops by. Give me only Metroid and Zelda, and I will say I have my money's worth.
