Yup!

I first thought of buying one of the next-gen consoles last year, when I realized I had to upgrade my PC to continue playing the best games, and I just didn't bother. So, I had to choose between Xbox 360 and Wii, in the end, Wii won on account of numerous reasons. First of all I didn't want to pay much, this wasn't in the Wii's favor much though, since the Xbox 360 is down to 2.700 DKK, and a Wii Remote with a Nunchuck attachment cost approx. 600 DKK. Secondly I also wanted to play some of the classic GameCube games, especially Resident Evil 4 and Metroid Prime, which I've done now, and my desire to play games wasn't that big, therefore I didn't expect to buy that many games. Finally I really wanted to try the new controller.

I've owned Wii for almost two months now and it's probably been two weeks since I played games on it. I completed Twilight Princess, great game, Wii Sports has given me the best multiplayer experiences ever, but the rest of the Wii games haven't been that impressive. Madden NFL 07 just isn't me, Marvel Ultimate Alliance is pretty boring, Rayman was fun until completion and Call of Duty 3 would've been awesome if it wasn't for the big amount of ridiculous bugs. The only games I play now is the two mentioned GameCube games. When I bought the console I knew I had to wait for the big games, Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, etc., but my desire for playing has increased since then, and I'm not really that patient anyway. :P

The biggest reason for buying the console: I've got the money! Making more than 10.000 DKK each month, and my only 'expense' is the fact I'm saving most of it for my education. 2.700 DKK is only a week's work, I can live with that. Also, I will still keep the Wii, but only buy the big blockbuster games and the fun multiplayer ones.
