Wii plastic durability ie: scratches, dust etc

Hi all,'
just wondered how easily scuffed up and scratched the black gloss Wii could become. I mean i wonder if it is as easy to scratch up as the black ipod or ipod nano. I would hope the black gloss material is hard to scratch and scuff.
Any thoughts and opinions on the matter much appreciated

As shown in previous posts its seen that the Gamecube and the N64 were so touch that even fire couldnt destroy it. So I guess that the trait would carry over to the Wii and once again be the toughest console yet!

EDIT - link to that post is here if you want to see it http://www.wiichat.com/nintendo-game...light=Gamecube

True, but I'm guessing it's gonna scratch easy, it looks too sleek

how is it gonna get scratched?! Its not like you are gonna be throwing it around. Even if you transport it should not get scratched, if you carry ti around it should be in some type of safe enviorment and be protected by like a book bag or something...

i made a thread on this already...

""havent' anyone notice the famouse nintendo plastic? this is something i always talk about with my friends n lover, ppl wonder if u drop your console and it break and so on... but nintendo? i'ma be REAL honest....killer instinct, killer instinct gold (my two fav games, best fighters EVER) super mario 64 and a bunch of n64, and snes games used to piss me off when i lost or what not, and let me tell you, my response wasn't very nice. lmfao hell just thinking about it cracks me up. i would LITTERALLY grab the system and THROW it again the wall, throw the controller against tv, bash the snes or 64 on the floor and stomp it, sometimes i even got the controller and bashed it against my forehead and caused the analog stick to get stuck on the down-right position, and gave me pains....hmm what else is there? man so many things--oh yea throw the remose against the console man oh man i REALLY hope i'm not alone in this lol i remeber doing it to the dreamcast too, but not too much bcuz it broke so easily ANYWAYZ!!! getting to my point, don't worry about *accidently* breaking your system, nintendo knows how to make their plastic, even the gamecube, i dropped it like twice,...no for real...don't look at me like that! i'm serious, it was by MISTAKE and not even a chip""
