Why Should I Keep My Wii?

First I'll give you reasons why I HATE it.
Every game is frustrating. MoHH Feels like you either hit something or you don't, Mario Strikers: Cheap Moves, Mario Kart: Build a lead then get hit by one F'n Item after another and SSBB's Online lag.
Nintendo's just a group of weak idiots. They need Friend Codes, they ruined their best game because they couldn't get online right, the have no shooters currently, they have no voice chat, they have no lobbies, Friend system etc.
What Happened to the Motion Controls???? SSBB makes us still use 7 year old technology, Mario Kart's Motion sensing just sucks, Every other game uses the controls minimally. What's so revolutionary if I still have to use a controller to play???
Why should I keep something that just frustrates me?

Maybe the Wii's just not your system.
The PS3 and 360, as good as they are, just don't appeal to me. I'm just a Nintendo fanboy.

Well, if you're not enjoying the Wii then you should definitely go ahead and sell it.

[rant]You are right about online games on the Wii though: Nintendo are terrible at it! They insist on mollycoddling us with friend codes and no voice chat/lobbies, and SSBB's lag is atrocious. So far the only decent online mode I've seen is in Mario Kart Wii, which would have been a lot better if it didn't involve such a stupidly large element of luck to win a lot of the time (trust me, no matter how good you are, you cannot win online on Luigi Circuit without at least some good fortune).[/rant]

That's exactly how I feel, except it was Mario Circuit that did it in for me. Yeah I was in 2nd place then I get hit by a green rotating shell, then I get hit with a bullet bill, then I got hit from a star. I'm serious.

Nah I think I'm just gonna be done with games period. Yeah the bad luck adds to the challenge like it always has been in mario kart games but this is just too much. Do you think I can still get any profit on ebay?

Why should we have to convince you to keep your Wii? If you want to sell it, then by all means, sell it.

Oh, I don't like Mario Circuit either. In fact, I have issues with at least a third of the tracks in the game.

Luck is not a form of challenge.

everything in your rant was complete crap. The motion controls in MKwii are great, and you have 4 different choices over controls for both brawl and kart, 3 of them are brand new choices.

Online isnt that great, But MKWii's online is fantastic, all it needs is voice chat, and that cant be far off.

Now thats out of the way, YOU give ME a reason why you should SELL your Wii.

The lineup and future of the Wii looks great, things are just getting better and better....but if you want to sell it because your bored of games like you say, good luck.

I'd suggest to keep your Wii and buy the 360 or PS3 as well. IMO, the Wii isn't meant for the only console for people to own and play. I think it's better if Wii owners had either a 360, PS3, or both along with their Wii.

I think that if you were to just lay off the Wii for some time and keep yourself busy with a PS3 or a 360. So when you do go back to your Wii, you'll be entertained.

Tip: If you're going to sell it, do it on Ebay so you can get big bucks off of it. lol.

That's an interesting point, if I don't play it for awhile maybe I'll start to miss it. IDK there are things I like about it but I just get frustrated with the games. lol all of them really. The conduit looks really good though.

Well it works for me though I use my PC. I play CS and UO just about everyday and when I get on my Wii, I enjoy it. There hasn't been one day that I've gotten bored of it, especially because I've only beaten one game. lol.

I strongly believe that the Wii is just the beginning of Nintendo's plans to try and create the greatest game console of all time. Hopefully in there
