Instead of waiting 5 years for it to come down in price, you can spend those 5 years enjoying the titles that come out. It just matters how much you want to play the games.

“OMG, they have WII! HERE! IN THE STORE, RIGHT NOW! INCREDIBLE!”

I feel naughty for not calling people and telling them I'm seeing a Wii on a shelf.

I eagerly await the next big Wii “fad” game, which will sell a zillion more systems!

Oh, and as for the last line about things getting “interesting,” I thought Nintendo “inexplicably” DOMINATING REALLY, REALLY HARD when most “hardcore” gamers have already turned their backs on the system and written it off as crap was pretty entertaining!
