I LOVE Wii. My boyfriend and I stopped playing Warcraft when we moved in together as a joint decision to move on to a healthier life, but we both enjoy games. In 50 days, with very little other change to my life Wii Fit has helped me lose about 5 pounds, and get in better shape. We both enjoy the retro games as well as the newer ones like Mario Kart and Smash Bros.....I just wish they would hurry up and get more quality titles that use the Wii Fit balance board.....and let us listen to our OWN music on some of the fitness "games". No offence but I am damn sick of the hula-hoop music. :D

A good place that no one ever really thinks about to get electronics is Target. Last year in December I walked into Target and bought a Wii during the holiday rush. They had 3 in stock at the same time that they were totally sold out everywhere else. I am very happy about the Wii's success. I had contended for years that raw processing power wasn't the most important thing in a console. Making innovative fun games is. I think some game makers tend to loose sight of this. They spend so much time making nice polished graphics and forget the rest of the game. Thanks Nintendo!
