• What's with the hate, Wizzy? If you think it's a fad, fine - move along and ignore anything Wii-related for the rest of your life. That will likely be hard since, oh, everyone besides yourself has or wants one and will be enjoying it for what it is and what it provides.
  
  Next - the ratio of kids vs adults that I'm aware of that are Wii owners is drastic. There are some kids with a Wii that I've seen, but I know scads more adults that bought one, some of which would have never, ever bought a game system for the rest of their life if the design would have continued on, verbatim, ad nauseum, until the end of time. Complicated button-mashing isn't for everyone. The fact that millions MORE people are now into gaming is a good thing. A VERY good thing. Were you around when the video game crash happened in the 80s? It seemed like the end of gaming forever, as next to nobody was buying games or consoles any longer and the industry went entirely belly-up. Want history to repeat itself, or do you want millions more people fueling the companies that make consoles or create & develop games?
  
  As for each mfr's console, why not enjoy all the machines for what they're worth? Over each generation's lifespan, I typically purchase each console one at a time along with the games I think will give me the greatest enjoyment from it. Although I'm not pleased with Sony's poor stance in regards to the gamer and the industry, I will eventually end up with a PS3 in my aresenal and will enjoy the crap out of it, regardless of my personal feelings about SCEA. And I won't light up any msg boards with fanboy hate. What's the point? You get no respect from your readers if all you're doing is bemoaning your own agenda instead of focusing on what are the finer points of something. I think it's sad, actually, that the only thing that spurs on some "gamers" is high-resolution. Pathetic. A challenging, fun, old-school 4-bit game is priceless compared to some mindless FPS that is oh-so-beautiful but otherwise worthless and has no replay value. Time wholly wasted.
  
  Never forget: It's better to be silent and remain a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
  
  Enjoy the games. In reply to: "Nyko Wireless Nunchuck takes the wire out of the Wii waggle"

• re: no straps?
  
  I see little strap-mounting holes at the bottoms of the controllers. In reply to: "Nyko Wireless Nunchuck takes the wire out of the Wii waggle"
