And this topic is once again a perfect reason why the videogame media is beyond pathetic and people shouldn't take articles like this seriously because changes are somebody has either messed up with the facts, or is intentionally messing with the facts.

Wow. I mean... wow. Of course, the Wii DOES have like... hmm... not too much of a bigger userbase than the XBox 360 in America... wow... this goes against conventional "gathering dust" wisdom!
Carmine Red, Associate Editor

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

Gored like squeezing the guts out of an orange amirite?

A perfect reflection of the sweat oozing onto millions of Balance Boards.

The Wii userbase is inactive now because its waiting for Nintendo to get off its ass and release some games for a change.

Well, I know that I definitely use my PC for gaming more often than I use my Wii. That's not to say anything bad however, as I do often get into moods where I'll play the Wii exclusively for several days.

I think the only thing to have ever come close to beating out my PC was the Dreamcast. Man, I love that console.

This sounds more truthful.

And is it really our fault that, unlike the so called hard-corez X-Box/PS3 fanboys, that we have lives outside of playing Nintendo games?

I doubt anyone here represents the average Wii owner. I mean, the software ratio is 5.5 I believe, and it seems like everyone here has more games than that. We're probably the ones who tipped the scales and boosted the Wii to second place on the usage chart.

With how much I've played Mario Kart Wii, I probably represent 20% of the total Wii usage. ;D

I've played MKWii more then any Wii game I own, including Madworld, Super Awesome Galaxy, and finally Sonic and the Good Gameplay.

Cheap Grand Prix mode aside.

Thats probably because MKWii is more inherently leaning towards last-ability.

Mario Kart Wii is the best game on Wii so it should be the game everyone has played the most.

It's funny, my Wii usage has actually been increasing lately, in part because so many games got pricedrops after the christmas aftermath is over. Meanwhile the 360 is still gathering metaphorical dust because there's nothing available I want for that thing. Probably just me though since I consider HD graphical design offputting and wouldn't pay more than ~40€ for a game sporting it and that's if the game is very compelling, the value for less compelling games is significantly lower.

Anyway, if you think the wii's genre selection stinks you're probably out of luck on any system except the DS, the HD systems have about four genres* (FPS, RPG, racing, sports), the PC has everything the HD systems have plus the RTS, better controls and a MASSIVE supply of casual games... All systems have a massive lack of variety these days, the core gamers have pretty much contracted to the pool that likes gritty and gory games with most of the PS2's buyers in limbo.

*=Cue the lists of single titles in random other genres... small numbers of games don't count because they don't make a dent
