Question

Is a wii just a fad or is it really worth that much money?
I have a gamecube and I am thinking of getting a wii, and I went to gamestop to play the demo version of supersmash bros brawl and it was just as fun as playing on my cube, so is it really that fun or is it a fad that people are running after, what do you think gamecube owners, please no answers from family moms who have never played a game before but now play the wii, because I am a year old kid no offense family moms I would prefer an answer from someone who has played a gamecube or other second generation system

Answer

actually, as far as next gen systems go, the Wii is really not expensive.brbrI have a gamecube, and have played Wii many times.brbrIts a reall fun system, different experience that many other systems. but honestly, sometimes i feel like just sitting down, and vegging while i play video games, with little movement. most games on the Wii require you to move your arms and stuff.brbrgood thing is that Wii plays all gamecube games, and you can download a lot of old school games too.brbri dont think its a fad, Wii is actually doing the best in the console market at this point, with more units sold than PS and Xbox . nintendo took a chance rather then jsut beefing up grpahics, and it worked.
