The Wii - Is the Magic Gone?

Computer And Video Games asks the tough question: is the Wii's magic gone? After the flurry of excitement around the launch, lackluster ports and a persistent inability for Nintendo to keep units on the shelves has made it hard for gamers to sustain their enthusiasm for the system. It doesn't help that most of the good games slated for this year won't be out for months. In some cases, there's doubt they'll even make it out this year: Reggie Fils-Aime appears to be backpedaling on Metroid Prime 3 by Christmas, which would be a shame. GigaGamez has additional commentary. Are you still as excited about the Wii as you were when it launched?

You have no clue buddy - 2 people I know had them fail after the 3 month period was up, which was the INITIAL warranty period. Rather than pay Microsoft another fucking $140 they tried to fix them or have somebody else help fix them. Warrany sticker gone - so now Micrsoft won't touch them. Nice of Microsoft to announce a warranty extension many, many months after most people's failed. You can talk all you want until you've been in that position.
