Tip#67: Sell Your Wii
OCT 2006 Hear there is a local store with a demo of this amazing new console called the Wii, where your actions controlled the characters... Queued up and played WiiSports for the first time, almost peed myself with excitement, same as the lady i VSed.
NOV-DEC Saved for Wii so I could afford RED STEEL, Zelda and extra controller.
JAN-FEB 07 Played Wii religiously, loved showing mates what it could do.
MARCH-MAY Novelty starts to wear off, begin looking for 'hardcore' games and buy MOH and Godfather.
JUNE-AUG Hardly touch Wii, fortnight where it wasnt touched once.
SEPT-DEC Wii gets very little attention, most of my gaming is on PC, but I hang onto the Wii in anticipation for things to improve.
Decide that maybe 2007 wasnt Wii's year and hang in for a better 08.
DEC-FEB 08 Play mainly GH3 and occasionally go back to unfinished games.
STILL waiting for killer apps.

2006 - Hear about Wii. Neighbor kid gets one on Black Friday or just before X-mas.
2007 - Occasionally think about Wii. Frequently hear about how cool it is , and think it might be something my wife and 4 year old daughter would enjoy, too. In about March, 2007, aforementioned "neighbor kid" brings his Wii over and shows us what it can do. I think, "cool!"
X-mas 2007 - Spend a few days at my sister's house. Her son got Wii from Santa. Whole family plays--from 4 year old to 80 years old, we all love it.
January 2008 - Start checking wiitracker.com every day. Never in stock, or if it is, you have to buy a bundle for $500 and up.
February 2008 - Find out that local EB Games sometimes has it in stock. I call three days in a row, and on 3rd day, they have some. Race over from work, and get it. Still love it a lot, since it's still quite new. I'm now looking into renting some games from Hollywood Video or Blockbuster. Will buy the ones I like. Just got "Wii Transfer" to allow me to access mp3 music, photos, and videos from my Mac on the Wii.
