Dusty Consoles

Confession: My Wii hasn't been turned on since November.
I know you are upset Mario. It's not you, it's Wii.

After I played Skyward Sword, I kind of lost interest in gaming on the Wii in general. There just wasn't any content that really convinced me to start it up.
I did want to try out some games, but I never got around to buying them. As a result, the poor Wii hasn't been plugged in to a TV since November (still isn't).

Interestingly enough, I have been playing my 3DS every now and then since then. I just feel like I have more time to sit down and play a quick session of Mario Kart or Pokemon (even though they end up being rather long sessions...haha).

So what will it take for me to turn my Wii back on? Well, as sad as it might be to say, I think it might just stay off for the most part. Really, the only reason I might turn it back on is to play Pikmin 2 before the launch of the Wii U and Pikmin 3.

The Wii is at the end of it's life cycle and the lack of me playing it is evidence. There are still great games that can be replayed, but I think I am just ready to move on. Nintendo planned the launch of the Wii U at just the right time.

The Wii is over...it's time for the Wii U to come in and tear it up.

If you own a Wii, how often do you play it? Do you think the Wii U is coming at just the right time?
If you own a different console, are you still satisfied with it? Or are you ready for the next generation?

Please comment below, I would love to hear what you all think!
