Getting a Wii

Well, I figured since they were pretty cheap for a console now, and they look fun, why not get one? But then I remembered that the Wii U was also coming out. So my question is, is there any point in getting a Wii right now(I don't want to buy one then return for less than half of what I payed for pretty soon, and I don't use Ebay) since the Wii U has been announced? Appreciate your opinions and input. Thanks!

wait 1 year after the wii-u release for a price drop, then buy a wii-u and wii games.

Alright yall, thanks for the replies. Will indeed wait

woah that is a cheap as wiii man! good as buy. it is actually really good though because you get active but have fun playiing a video game at the same time. i guess with the intro of kinect tho, it won't be around for too long

Kinect has been out for awhile now and received feedback that, personally, are much less than I had expected. I don't know hardly anyone who uses it.

In other news, the Wii has been out for far longer than Kinect and isn't purely for motion control - the games are nice too! That said, the Wii U is being worked on and will introduce new features that will undoubtedly attract their fanbase once again.

Depends. I used my Wii non-stop as a gaming console for 3 years straight before getting an Xbox in February, last year. You'll have a lot of fun with it and if you can get it cheap then I suggest getting one. It's a cute console and it offers a lot considering all the 'best' games are out and ready to buy straight away.

But if you're definately going to get the Wii U when it's released then you might aswel wait as you wouldn't be giving the Wii enough credit with the amount of playable time left before the Wii U is released.

The games on the Wii will make the waiting game fly past, especially if you're also going to wait for the Wii U to go down in price too. There's a lot of Gamecube and Wii games you just have got to play though. You'd have so much fun.
