Now that the amazement over the Nintendo Wii 's innovative gameplay (and retail shortages) has worn off, it's time to take a clear-eyed look at the benefits of owning a Wii ($249.99, list) over a now similarly priced Microsoft Xbox 360 or pricier Sony PlayStation 3. As they were two years ago, the differences remain stark—akin to comparing an iPod shuffle to an iPhone . Besides the enormous differences in graphics quality, the "grown-up" consoles just look better, do... Read more

I n November 2006, Nintendo released its fifth-generation console, the Wii. The video game company took a major risk when it eschewed graphical power and groundbreaking online capabilities for gameplay and control innovations. By courting to the casual gaming crowd, the Wii has proved to be a runaway success; the system still remains hard to find in retail outlets. When it comes to nostalgia, social gaming and unique playing experiences, the Nintendo Wii is about as good... Read more

In fact, I’ve seen new laptops on sale that cost less than a PlayStation 3 (it’s just a comparison, I... Read more

When I first got the "Wii" it came with the Wii sports disk - I totally enjoyed the different activities especially the bowling. The thing about the ""Wii" that I like is that its more than a video arcade that you sit in front of for hours - it involves you, you have to act out the actions of the sport as if you were at the bowling alley, golf course, or cross country course. But the "Wii" became more important to me when I purchased the Wii fit disk. When I began I... Read more

I think I'm addicted... I don't own one but my roommate does. I love boxing on it. Whenever we get tired of sitting around, we challenge each other to Wii Sports games. I can spank her easily. I just hate the fact that when I play with my boyfriend, he spanks me in tennis, baseball, and boxing. I'm such a sore loser but it makes him laugh... Read more
