Im not sure if they were trying to make it look cute along side the other consoles, but I need to know why the console is so tiny lol, its almost have the size of an erect ps3 when you stand it up xD. Im also assuming if it was larger they would have been able to make the performance and overall console better by having more space to fill.

I like the size, it give me more room to place the extra remotes, wii wheels, zapper, balance board etc........

I like the size, I was jumping for joy when the Wii first appeared and it was said to be the size of three dvd cases. "wow" i thought. It's probably the best looking console I've ever owned, and no mine is not white, but they're nice lookin' too.

Rawr!

Why this bother you so much? The Wii is so small basically because it is a improved version of the GameCube, if it were more powerful, it surely would be bigger and more expensive as well.
I think Microsoft and Sony suffer from the GM syndrome, in other words, bigger and expensive instead of smaller and cheaper. And look at the GM situation right now...^^ LOL

I remember when I first saw one- I was suprised to see that it was so small, but now I''ve came to like it.
There is no need to make it big for the sake of it!

I would like to point out, that in the past, mostly, consoles have been empty plastic shells(Be it design or for cooling). The fact is, the wii is a compact peice of hardaware,

Seriously though it is on fantastic looking console.

If nintendo want to increase the performance capabilities they could've just called up NVIDIA, instead of ATI.

Why do I want to bring back Pluto? Cuz the 8 others bullied it and I don't approve of bullying and I am here with this pointless movement to remind people of how (in)significant it really is!

When it comes to electronics, I think smaller is better.

I always liked the Wii being so small because it's easy to put somewhere and move. I prefer it over the gigantic Xbox 360 system.
