Topic: Do you know anyone who owns a Wii but barely uses it?

I have a brother and a sister who both bought one for some strange reason but hardly ever play it.
They don't even know about the Wii shop. Just last week my sister acted all shocked when I mentioned the new zelda coming out.
She literallly said... There's a zelda on Wii? I just about said damn if you're not going to use the poor thing give it to me.
I still play mine at least three hours a day. I guess alot of people aren't very informed.

The casual crowd? I would assume those people (a lot of the Wii's market) would be like that.
Or just people who use X360/PS3 more.

My sister and brother-in-law have a wii, but they barely use it. They also have a PS3, but they only use that for Blu-Ray and Netflix. They are in their 30s now, and they kind of moved on from video games, I guess. They'll still play, but usually they don't have a lot of time and with their free time they watch movies, instead.

Well my brother prefers his PS3 so he's just a graphics whore and my Sis just plays online games like World of warcraft.

I have a Wii that I don't play very often. I used to be much more into console gaming than I currently am, however I still buy and play games that pique my interest, I just don't spend hours a day playing them...I spend that time watching films, playing MMOs instead.

Yeah I know a few. I thought they were gone for good tbh, but Goldeneye brought them back for a week or two. Which was nice.

Depends. Sometimes I don't play for a month and sometimes I stay on for quite some time.

Before I bought my Wii, a friend of mine told me, "You'll play Wii Sports for a month and then you'll never touch the Wii again.". I also know a few people who only use it for Wii Fit -and I doubt they use it often. Others I know have only purchased a Wii for one specific game like New Super Mario Bros. Wii or Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. I don't see them buying and playing many more games after that. That's just the behavior you come to expect with a console targeting casual gamers though. Nothing wrong with that.

Me, actually. It might change if/when I get DKCR and Golden Sun 3, but honestly, I've barely touched it for the half-year since I got a PS3 and/or 360.

Me. I just can't really work up motivation to do so. I mean, I always feel kind of stressed out about time (even though I manage it poorly), so portable gaming has more of an appeal to me. This fall I had borrowed a copy of S&P 2 from my library, and I had to blow dust off of the power cord plugs to get it to work. That'll probably change after Christmas, as I know I have Epic Yarn and a few other games for the Wii on my Christmas/B-Day list.

My mom owns a wii, and my brother, and my friends sister. I think they only own maybe 5 games each at the most and I very rarely see any of them play it, unless they see me playing a game or whatever and want to join in.
I think they bought them just because of the fad that went around, and now they have sadly moved on or only bring it out for parties.

WHAAAAAT? mind is blown

You are... wow

My brother, and all my friends who own Wiis, which is only 3 or 4 of them, really.

My friend bought a wii after I encouraged him to and seemed excited for about a month. He then went back to playing CODMW2 and almost never plays the wii. He doesn't have many games so I don't blame him but he never saw all the other great games the wii had to offer.

My brother bought a Wii for his family. I don't think they actually play it very often, but that's mostly due to the fact that my sister-in-law doesn't really like videogames. So now they mostly play it whenever my four year old nephew wants to play Brawl or Mario Kart or when we're over. It's kinda sad, but it still gets more use than his poor PS2, which sits and collects dust in his basement.

My family never uses our Wii anymore. I'm the only one, but my bro played Goldeneye when I got it till he bit it,and my dad sometimes uses it for the web browser.

One of my friends has a Wii but never uses it. He has a 360 and is getting a PS3 this Christmas and he can't stand the Wii. I try to convince him that there are great games on the Wii (like Metroid, Zelda, Mario, Goldeneye, etc.) but he refuses to see how good the Wii actually is. What can I say? He's a graphics whore (and so is almost every other friend I know who plays games).

A younger cousin of mine who's of the mentality that games need blood, guns and REALISTIC graphics to be good, so he's more into his 360 and its CoDs (though he neglects it, as well)...

I have a Wii and barely use it. It's actually boxed away for the time being after I cleaned and I haven't re-hooked it up, nor do I think I will until 2011 when I decide to pick up DKCR and other games for it.
