Apparently, it's the first time that Toys "R" Us has ever nominated a video game system as one of its holiday "hot toys." We couldn't agree more; the Wii is at the top of our holiday shopping list. We know what you're thinking and no, we do not plan to blow all of our holiday gift money on a Wii for ourselves, we plan to blow all of our money on Wiis for everyone else. We're pretty sure our grandma will love it.According to Toys "R" Us, the reason they came to the conclusion that the list needed Nintendo's console was due to it's incredible appeal across all ages. Toys "R" Us said "The Wii system appeals to young kids as well as adults," where the PS3 is "really geared to a savvy gaming enthusiast."

Ugh... you know, I hate that "A REAL GAMER WOULD (insert thing here)" mentality. I love punctuation, however. Your lack thereof hurts my eyes.
As for Toys "R" Us, I can see the Wii as something being sold out nearly everywhere, but still possible to find if you look hard enough. I think Nintendo has chosen the perfect quantity to make it very desirable.

i am only posting because i have beef with the first poster. BEATEN TO DEATH? WTF DOES THAT MEAN. CONSOLE GAMING HAS ALWAYS HAD A D PAD (as does wii btw) AND I LOVE IT. IT IS THE PERFECT WAY TO CONTROL A CHARACTER. IT RULES. WHEN I PLAY GAMES I DONT WANT TO HAVE DO DANCE WITH MY ARMS!!. I CAN SEE THE WII AS FUN FOR A SHORT WHILE BUT ANNOYING IN THE LONG RUN

I see... much like typing IN ALL CAPITALS is eye-catching for a short while and annoying - I'd even say very obnoxious in the long run.
Please, can we stop the bickering and just, I don't know, respect each-others opinions on gaming?
