I read that since it's cheaper to make nintendo system's that they are going to drop the price as the Wii slowly starts to lose sells. When do you see this happening?

If it happens, Christmas time. This. The Wii might be losing sales, but it's still considerably ahead of the 360 and PS3. Only when one off those two starts to make that ground up will they do it. I keep wondering when the colored Wiis will drop. They announced those and had pics when they first announced the Wii but after the launch said they wouldn't do it until sales dropped off and keeping them stocked wasn't as heavy a concern. |

While we're on this topic, I read the Wii is the least played system out of the 3. So I ask this: if its not being played at all and its collecting dust, then WHY are people buying it?

They'd probably will never release the colored Wii systems. Namely cause Nintendo said it is cheaper and easier to just continue to make only white Wii systems. Which pisses me off to hell cause I REALLY wanted to black, silver, or green Wii.... |

It's perceived as the best (and cheapest) option for offline mulitplayer games, I bet they've got a lot of use at family gatherings over easter. Smash Brothers apparently has an average playing time of 45 hours per Wii. Also in the UK the cost of the Wii is rumored to be going up, greedy bastards. www.eurogamer.net/articles/nintendo-wii-price-to-rise-for-uk-trade |

Also in the UK the cost of the Wii is rumored to be going up, greedy bastards. www.eurogamer.net/articles/nintendo-wii-price-to-rise-for-uk-tradeActually, least I checked the average owner of Brawl played it for 64 hours so far. Sadly, most of the games with high play time are Nintendo's games, namely Wii Sports, Mario Kart Wii, Brawl, Twilight Princess, and Mario Galaxy. All other games are f***ed. Hell the average owner of Okami on the Wii have only played around 10 hours, hardly a fraction of the game's full length. And yeah the truth is the Wii is the least played of the home consoles, because most of the people who own a Wii are the casual gamers, namely the soccer moms and elderly people. Most of the Wii's user base is not actual gamers in any form of the word. That's the reason the Wii also has the lowest rate for games bought per system on average(the 360 has the highest, like twice that of the PS3 and nearly 3 times that of the Wii). So many "casuals"(I call them that cause they don't even really qualify as a casual gamer) buy the Wii and play only Wii Sports, maybe buy and play Wii Play and MAYBE a few other casual aimed games, but that's it. I think that there is 3 games bought/played on average for the Wii, where as the PS3 has an average of around 6 and the 360 has an average of around 9 or 10. That plays into why the Wii is the least played. Since so many people only buy the minimal amount of games for it, they only play it for a little while and let it sit for long stretches of time. Now, granted, people who are actual gamers(IE people who have some kind of knowledge of video games) will find more things to play on the Wii. Hell, I was able to have as much fun on the Wii as I did with the 360 and PS3 because I found so many games I liked. |

As far as the least play system goes, that doesn't surprise me. The older I get, the less like spending an entire weekend playing Final Fantasy 7 I feel like.
