The Nintendo Wii

It seems that everyone I speak to is after a Nintendo Wii at the moment, even hard core gamers. It seems a lot is to do with the release of Wii Fit (which is excellent by the way), or is it just the belief that you need to have one because everyone else has one?

I for one thought the Wii was a bit camp when it first came out, and considered all Nintendo consoles to be for kiddies or the Japanese market with their obsession for cute manga looking cartoon characters (e.g Final Fantasy etc). But when I actually played one, I realised that it was incredible fun, especially when you are sat watching your 61 year old Dad trying to do 3 rounds of boxing and he is throwing punches like Rocky Balboa on speed! That's entertainment that you just wont get on the Xbox 360!
