Each person's case is different. You may be able to generalise why people will buy the Wii, but that is only a general consensus based on where you take that information on. Peoples circumstances come heavily into play when deciding to make expensive dessicions. Your statement "You're getting the Wii because its cheap, not because its innovative." Is rash, and incorrect. It not only comes down to money, but peoples gaming priorities, you yourself have said in the past how gameplay outweighs graphics, and this is basically the arguement here, PS3 is the powerhouse, and nintendo Wii is revolutionary. Most people here have *****ing gaming computer rigs, their "powerhouse" is already established, they're not prepared to go out and pay what they almost payed for their pc on a console when they have a perfectly good PC. Basing your opinion merely on a gaming forum isnt going to give you an accurate prediction. The nintendo Wii offers something that cannot be part of a pc gaming experience and thats the big difference here. Pinpointing peoples desicisions on price alone is close minded, you need to look at the bigger picture.
