I have no purpose for it really anymore, I've moved on and lost interest. I have a wee because it’s cool to have!

I'm too much of a Nintendo fanboy to ever give up any of my Nintendo systems, but more power to you Gemini. It is awesome that a person can easily make their money back (and possibly a profit) off a gaming system that is years old, I don't know if there has ever been a console like this (ie.. based on so much hype with so little delivery).

I moved to a new place 2 months ago, my Wii is still boxed up. If CONDUIT was closer to release, I would be more excited. Even if there was a Mario Party 9 that offered play over the Wii network, I would be excited. But you're absolutely correct, the game selection is slim, the novelty wears off, and the games that are (Red Steel, for instance) out there rely too heavily on repetitive, gimmicky use of the Wii Remote.

I think there is alot of following the crowd, or the herd, as I call it. Most people don't know what you get with the Wii, for example, I was talking to a guy at work today and he said he was going to by the Wii because he wanted to play metal gear,lol. So yes this system is hot for now, but soon it will be in the attic somewhere forgotten like tickle me elmo.
