Alot of people (around my age group, 17-19) think they're poor if they don't have the top HD consoles (And some take it WAY too seriously). I somewhat understand the logic behind this statement cause, the Wii is the cheapest 7th gen console and overall its new releases are $10 cheaper than its competitors. And the library of Wii games appealing to the average crowd is unbalanced. (bunch of mario spinoffs, and foreign game titles from japan,)

On the other hand, depending on your video game taste you may get more for your money. The Wii has the most plat-former games, fighting wise SSBB is still the hottest game on the WII only downside for newcomers is that you have to be a Nintendo/Sonic fan.

maybe these people that only have a wii as a next gen console didn't realize that the game are mostly first party. Or maybe the hype of the wiimote and nunchuck mechanics already had them sold.

Regardless of these theories, my point is Video games shouldn't really label your social class you have far more important things that should be on that list. And Wii only owners or even people who dont have Next gen consoles shouldn't be ashamed, I'm sure you weren't considered poor when you had your ps2's, xbox's, and game-cubes. But if you still think your poor then just sell your wii get a summer job and get your 360's, problem solved.

Agreed. People who can afford the luxury of video games are not poor. Derp.
Weird thing... officially I'm below the poverty line but because I have several situational advantages and keep my living expenses low I'm not what anyone would consider poor. I'm a very lucky bastard.

I'm not ashamed. My gaming PC can wipe the floor with any console.
Well sure if you want an over priced machine for increased graphics or something.

Definitely 'or something'. Consoles don't do what I want so I don't use them.

I've only ever owned a PS2, no other consoles, and I'm in no way ashamed... Is this like the Prada bag of gamers your talking about? You can't be part of the rich click if you don't have one?

This thread has nothing to do with PC's, go take your epeen elsewhere.

OT: There are loads of people out there that simply aren't that interested in games. I mean the Wii is mostly marketed towards "casual" gamers, they're not going to splash out like £200 for a PS3/Xbox when they can get the Wii for cheaper with more suitable games for them.

When people ***** about not having some luxury item makes them poor I always ask them if they've ever had to feed themselves for a month on $20, because when you have to do that, that's when you're poor.

seeing as you can get a wii for about £60 here Its understandable, but I think its more if you only have a PS2.

but honestly, looking at the Wii's lineup for... well; ever has led me to want to trade mine in, there's just no point in getting one at this stage...

Dude, please FFS stop double posting and just hit quote the first time.

OT: Anyone with any current gen platform would generally be considered to be ahead of the curve, having a wii doesn't mean anything. Hell not having a console doesn't mean anything, you may just not like games.

II2none, you don't have to double-post just because you forgot to click 'quote' instead of 'reply'. Just click 'quote', copy the quoted text, edit your post and paste the quoted text in.
