Poll: Wii useage poll

[Vixen]

We got our console on the day of launch. I'm much more of a PC gamer, so I wouldn't normally touch the consoles more than once a week if there's not a specific game I'm trying to complete.
I don't think I could easily quantify my usage, but I guess I'd say "regularly". I think a lot of people forget that the main selling point behind the Wii is the multiplayer aspect though. Sure, you may not want to play on your own every day, but it's great for when there are people round. It's not supposed to attracting the same audience as the 360 and PS3, the type of people who play games every day. Unless they're living in a student house or similar, I wouldn't expect anyone to say that they play it every day, as it's just not that sort of console.

Daily.

I wish my flatmates would clear off sometimes so I can have a go

Daily if I get a chance. Am waiting for more quality games though.
Have Wii Play, Rayman and COD3.

It has been on for at least an hour every day since Christmas. The entire family use it (if we can get the wife of it )

It appears that you were incorrect.

4 forgotten how to turn it on.

Nothing worth playing unless you like zelda. But hey its cool to like nintendo no matter what pap they through at you.

 

[Nismo]

1. Daily

(My 360 in comparison with stuff like GOW, Vegas and Viva Pinata all sitting there unplayed or unfinished would be 3. Hardly Ever)

 

[Sho]

Regularly

When a company gets to that stage it becomes cool to dislike them again.

In honesty though it's going to suffer if Nintendo don't get their backsides in gear and release a lot of in house games or at least third party developers build games around the controller. Ports are not really an option due to the power of the PS3 and 360 and the controller is too bizarre to simply slot into any old game.

Maybe the lack of ports could be considered a positive.

I'd wait a few months and see what's on the horizon, unless you really want to play Wii sports for a few months.

regularly.. usually try and get an hour of Wii Sports in most days and a bit of Zelda..

But now my 360 is feeling neglected..

edit: It really needs some good sports titles.. that function like wii sports but with more depth.. Like a tennis game and a Baseball game All star baseball 99 was a classic on the n64. Needs a new version.

So am I. I wish i'd never sent you that link to the wii in stock

Regularly i'd say - I try to get some Zelda in most days of the week after work - then at the weekend it's a bit more of Wii Sports/COD3 and some Zelda if i can help it

For people doubting the longevity of the console and are getting bored already, due out Q1-2007 are Metroid Prime, Super Mario Galaxy and Trauma Centre. 3 games there I'll be picking up as soon as they're out

EDIT: got those dates from a popular games retailer, but from looking around they might be a bit optimistic. Still, they aren't too far away. Smash Bros. is also coming relatively soon.

1 - Everyday and I love it!

I would prefer some new innovative games, rather than rehashed stuff we have seen time and time again from nintendo. Trauma centre was great on the DS, real innovation, but its the same game.

Nothing on it interests me atm, i also own a gamecube and a large selestion of classic games and from what ive seen apart from the novelty controller there's not a lot of difference between Wii and GC. I'll probably wait a year and pick one up when a certain catalogue shop are clearing stock again!!!

Good point, didn't really think of that because I never got Trauma Centre for the DS.
