99% of the time it's simply because they're too lazy to buy games for it. I have never, once, heard a person say that their Wii collects dust who also owned any of the good games for it.

You can't say a console has no games if you never buy the games for the console!

Like Xenoblade, The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, they never have a single one of those.

Smart observation.

The Wii is good depending on your taste.

My Wii is dying, but I play it sometimes.

Usually for SSBB online with friends. (and MKWii)

And when I replay Twilight Princess. I replay that a lot.

not everything that is held with one hand is a remote

On the other hand, I'm left-handed.

Twilight Princess is last-gen and Brawl is only fun if you have friends. Of course you're not going to play the Wii much if that's all you have.

"Then my remote stopped working. So now my wii collects dust."

The remotes are super cheap on eBay. o_e

Another one of my favorite games is called Red Steel 2.
That game is so freaking epic.
It's a great game that demonstrates how motion controls can actually make a game a bazillion times better. It's just perfection.

"But that's because i rarely play it."

Because you don't bother getting good games for it.

"my wii is in cryostasis"

I'm not sure why you people think this is an impressive list of games?
Compare this to the list of your favorite console games.
Also, compare the types of games as well.

A lot of the times, you'll have people, let's say, RPG fans, who say the Wii sucks and has no fun games but not a single one of the games they own are an RPG.

If you treat the Wii like your other favorite console and buy the type of games you like and buy them frequently, then you'll like the Wii.

i play mostly shooters

wii controls for shooters are bad

the control shakes so hard
and if you dont point it directly to the control-reciever-thingy, you lose

kinda impossible to aim properly compared to a mouse.

i have three (4, one wiiware thingy) shooters on wii, and i must say, that its horrible to play them on wii

it feels like one of these bad arcade hall games, but with less awesomeness

but i like these controller-modifications, like the rifle and the wheel mod.
thats a great idea.

"Sold mine 3 years ago for $250. Bought one last week for $100 and got twice as much stuff as what I had originally."

That's pretty awesome. You practically got over $150 free.

"even though i have a wii U, the wii is still great, just have the best games on it"

I still prefer the Wii simply because it's so easy to hack.
Yes, you can put a lot of the Wii hacks on the Wii U.
But the best ones you can't. Such as:

1. Media center.
You can play DVDs on the Wii with WiiMC and also play video and audio files from a thumb drive. On the Wii U, you can't play DVDs (but you can play video and audio files from a thumb drive, and display it on the tablet too).

2. Emulators.
N64, PS1, SNES, NES, C64, DOS, tons and tons of emulators exist for the Wii. And guess what else? You can play them with a GameCube controller! (The best controller ever!) I bought a wireless one and it makes emulating perfect. Some of these emulators will run on the Wii U as well but no GameCube controller ports.

3. Linux
It's SO easy to install Linux on the Wii. I installed XUbuntu on mine and it works really really well. You can even use the Wiimote as the mouse. Yes, you can install Linux on the Wii U as well, but no WiFi support, and Linux is kinda worthless without WiFi. So Linux on the Wii is superior.

My Wii broke on me for no reason, so I bought an Xbox instead.

Your Wii broke on you... so you got on Xbox?! O_e??

I have two origin Wiis that still work just fine.
I had to return my Xbox SIX TIMES before it kept on giving me the Red Ring of Death (each time they exchanged it for a new one).

1) Wiis are actually made by nokia, they cannot break

2) anything nokia makes cannot break

3) nokias products are only exempt from the second rule if its a touchscreen phone

--

It's surprising that EVERY Nintendo console has beat out the other companies in terms of games, however due to their marketing they fall short on sales because the "cool kids" want their COD ghosts on their more expensive machine and pay online (and not get good exclusives).
