I've been reading through a bunch of threads in a lot of places and I seem to get this small particular that loads of people are actually selling off their wiis. I really do wonder why actually.

So, if you have sold, or selling your current Wii, why don't explain to us why? I'm a little curious in this subject really (heck, it may turn out to be good consumer feedback). So, fire away folks.

ai ya not only wii lah.
psp 2000, psp 3006 , ps2, ps3 and iphone also got lah.
maybe need cash to buy something .

I never sell nor intended to sell, but these circumstances could lead me to sell my Wii:

1. Seriously lack of funds for something else
2. When I have extra Wii from specific region
3. When Nintendo screw up Wii owners (via updates, accessories etc)
4. Someone willing to pay more than market price of a new Wii
5. Lost hope on humanity (or gaming in general)

ya one of my friend said wii games is for kids and females.
i dont agree lor.

age old theory. do continue.

they started playing dota.

i sell my wii, because,


1. lazy play,
2. tired,
3. i kenot lay down on sofa and play
4. need more space , kenot play on small room

I tried number 3 before with tennis. Not bad also. haha. but I had a stiff neck later.

i own all of the console so far, xbox i play the most,


wii, i only play it when 1st fews week, after that...keep dust already.. ><"
bough the gamecube controller to comfort me, but when the gamepad on my hand, the graphic not suit me, prefer nicer graphic when i play racing game or sport game...


wii, the game play is simple and nice, but tired,

and I hate the cable!!
there is too much cable on wii,
the controller cable annoying me , (nuncuk to wiimote),
component cable ( 5 color mean 5 cable)
wii sensor cable
gambe cube controller wired


on xbox, only have 2 cable, HDMI and power

Not my reasons:

1. Becoming a Sony fanboy
2. Move is superior to Wiimote, and also the pioneer of motion gaming
3. Sony offers original games experience (which makes you appreciate the games more)
4. It's a Sony
5. PS3 is hardcore
6. PS3 offers full HD and 3D experience
7. PS3 offers warranty
8. PS3 exclusives
9. PS3 have Six axis
10. PS3 have DS3
11. PS3 have free online
12. PS3 have 10 years life span
13. Sony are best towards their customers
14. PS3 have BD
15. PS3 have no games for kids and ladies
16. Bravia + PS3 = gaming heaven
17. More easy to buy second hand PS3 games
18. PS3 is all in 1 entertainment system
19. PS3 community is the best
20. God says don't play Nintendo stuff

I take it that's from SDF?

I'm speaking of the TRUF!

Well i dont intend at all to sell my Wii btw lolx.
And Wii = Moving around to play a game = Yup it is Famous for that but after being a Wii owner for some time , games im playing usually makes me Sit down and dont move an inch to it or as describe lying down on the bed to play.
Thats wad i often do UNLESS is RB ( involves guitar and drums , still im sitting down and pressing buttons lolx , as for drums still sitting down and hit the drum pads) Or maybe im a lazy player but i dont see why it has to move around or maybe some ppl out there only buys wii for WII SPORTS ?

Again as for my survey or experienced

Cos i have teman my friends to COD second hand wii few times.
And those sellers end up selling , i Totally understands y ( probably )
Seeing the games that own from the seller , u know y they are selling the Wii lolx... ( i.e Games ive seldom or never heard of )

So ask the seller again , y selling ar?
Answer - nothing to play
Answer - Finish Wii Sporting
Answer - Bought Another Console

But actually seriously when u see their selection of games they owned
You know Y they are selling.

If i ever buy another gaming console
Wii will still be next to me , Will probably only sell it cos a NEW HD WII comes into the market.

I think the point with nothing to play is the point that you don't know what else is there to play. It happens a whole lot to Wii Owners.

Just Dance anyone? I bet 95% of Malaysians don't know about it. Not after Just Dance 2 maybe.

Yahlor , u scratch ur head when u see the sellers games.
A few times adi i teman different friends COD their Wii as Buyers

if i do sell...it'll be coz i oredi bought a black wii.

wii got second hand games...only have to be a lot sabar to wait

game draughts are a norm...but when u're oredi working, u don't have that many spare times to play ALL the time

so i say, wii is for busy working ppl with family, other consoles are for kids and single people since they have so much time to play wahaha

yes that is soooo true. contrary to popular believe, wii is more owned by the head of the family, who is usually above 30 years old. ps3 is not so family oriented. the wii get picked up more often than the ps3, simply because we adults have not much time with gaming.

so back to the topic why would i sell my wii? for now, can't find a reason.

Having had the opportunity to use the PS3, I must say I won't dump my Wii. as Ramz said, PS3 requires a lot of time invested in it, which I can't really afford. With the wii, I can just fire it up for 30 minute spells with e.g. Wii Fit, and even get the wife/cousin/brother involved with e.g. Mario Kart...

I doubt the wife would find MGS4 on the PS3 as entertaining as Mario Kart.

baguslah wife tak main sama. She can tolong masak and jaga anak

Although having said that MGS4 is highly entertaining if I can find the time!

I don't have kids yet la, fren!

belum have kids la prepare

if dua2 main game susah nanti

I sell my Wii when the successor comes out

I think its fine if successors come out that you would sell it off. Hopefully resale value would be good for everyone looking for it.

Lol, didnt Sony recently just announce they are developing PS4?
I remember reading it on a tech news last week.

Found the news.

Well, there was some guy who loved game commercials who decided to do a fake PS3 commercial, which was very convincing. But who knows, maybe it would be true the 4th one is coming. But, I wouldn't know how it'll be for the future.

this is not my reason it was my friend that sell his WII to me

1. he got it from lucky draw so it free.
2. not really into games heck he even dont know how to hook up the wii to the TV

as for me I dont think i'm going to sell of my WII even i got a PS3/DS/PSP atm still I feel WII have more games that I play more often compare my ps3 seriously so many FPS/TPS on ps3 which is not my type of games i'm only into RPG/SIM, so nuff said Mario Kart podewin!

I will not sell my wii too!

I use it with EA Sport Active everyday! it is cheaper then going to gym!

+1

I like this very much.

I probably won't ever sell my Wii. Already spent too much on DLC songs in RB2...

Phoenixbyte, dude, equine park? We're practically neighbours!

anyway... I bought Metroid Prime Triology months ago... and only started playing 2 weeks ago... and I'm enjoying it so much!

I still have RE4, No More Heroes, waiting in line to be played.

Zelda: TP, SMB (Wii) also not yet fin... so many games so little time.

Not to mention, New zelda, Metroid: The Other M, etc... coming soon...

so many games... so little time. selling my wii? don't think so.

Now you mentioned it...my MP:Trilogy still yet to finish.

just finished Zelda: TP weeks ago, one of the longest my game playtime record .... 76 hours...

got too little time to cramp up for games

Not a problem for me

I think people are beginning to miss the point that due to limited time, they feel that they should sell of the wii.

Time management is key.

i'd sell if i'm desperate enough in need of fast cash

how many masters can you serve at 1 time?

It'll be good that to have all the different consoles+handheld... but can you effort all of them?

let's say money isn't an issue to you... seriously, how much time can you spend for each platform?

for me... no money and not much time... so I go for the platform that offers titles that I love most – nintendo.

There are so many good titles in each platform, it's really depending on what one's preferred. Those that sell their Wii, probably Wii was never meant for them in the first place. With the above factors mentioned, they decide to let go Wii 1st.

Same thing, I see ppl sell off their XBOX/PS3.... I think it really doesn't matter why ppl sell their consoles, 'cos there are many subjective reasons behind.

Globally isn't Wii still the top selling consoles?


I sell everything, if I desperate need money!

Make sure ur not selling urself then can edy.

wii is only good for parties/ friends coming over.

other than that solo gameplay ps3 or xbox360 all the way

so the question is are u sociable or are u a hikikimori?

like what other "hardcore" games say...my "wii is collecting dust"...so, why not sell it?...

anyway, i'm happy with the wii...not gonna sell it....unless you pay me like a mil dollars...or more than enough for me to purchase another new wii while profiting from the sale...XD (in both time and money wise)

when i have no more favourable game left

I hope that never ends.

my friend sell off his wii after few week of using because waiting for xbox 360 kinetic bundle ..

For me, wii is only good when people are over, it's basically just a party trick in my opinion

Dude, it's such a pity that you got onto the wii-party bandwagon, bought a wii, but never even tried any of nintendo's A+ titles. Zelda, Mario, Metroid, those games are popular not without a reason, they really are good games.

Gamers who grew up with nintendo all know this. They know Nintendo makes kickass games and won't ever sell off their wii, especially not when another Zelda and Metroid are on a horizon.

Most "new generation gamers" who only first discovered gaming on the Playstation can easily dismiss Nintendo games because they look "kiddy" or lame, but hey, your loss man.

I think people don't play fantasy games anymore. They all play reality games.

But then again, Mass Effect was also a fantasy game. meh.

Then why bother with Wii when the best fantasy game Final Fantasy belongs to Sony?

u mean reality games like american idol? survivor

man..those are the suckest game ever on the consoles

the human and xoxo stuff looks real enough to make people says wii for kids

u have ur COD, which is being an army man minus the deaths and the guys for you to go out and wage war.

you have fallout which has you being immoral or ethical in a land ravaged by a nuclear war.

But, do you have something that makes u feel like living in a fairytale? Maybe Metroid is the only one closest enough to say that it almost feels real. almost.

Well, I guess imagination for adults is overrated. Hence, its for KIDS.

barbie and the three musketeers

I still remember I bought Wii, then next day sell already.

The reason is just :
Not really my taste. Thou swinging controller to play games is quite unique, but really, I'll prefer to play all this swinging, sensor game in Arcade center.

so u can be the center of attention. we all live to impress

lick it = instant attention

Hampes i'm reduced to jokes.

Sick of meaningless swingings on Wii? Try PS Move, the future of motion gaming, where meaningless becomes rewarding

How come I never get tired of Gundam's antics on the PS3?

or try kinect. the best seller will be driving games. i wish they have kinect in my car, i sure love to drive without a steering. i wonder, does kinect regisster that u are licking? please say yes. i would be sold

just wait for the xxx rated homebrew games (using kyo's face)

WHY ME???

coz u're Msian Nintendo Mascott

Because he hates dengki Sony, knowing Kyo's face on a XXX game = instant bankruptcy

i met kyo what. handsome guy. forgot to ask for further discount because of that

You only saw the outside

gundam is expert on kyo's inbackside

Oy oy, wanna bash me go to kopitiam lah.

graphic too bad n not all games the gameplay is good..

u don't buy a console to play ALL its games

Wahhh,wii got MH3 still got ppl wan to sell wor??? haizzzz gamerz in Malaysia......

No console has perfect games. If it did, no one would buy anyhting.

But I think most gamers still complaint when it comes to graphics. Graphics really means a whole lot.

sealeopard, MH3 not enough to make people jump far. You'll need lots of MH's in the Wii to do so.

well...i still hv my wii and MH is DEFINITELY not one of the reason
