Sorry but thats some awful advice. I am the owner of a Wii and I do not regret buying it at all. There are such a variety of games on there and plenty more to come which makes it so under-rated. You do not need a big room or to know lots of people to fully enjoy the Wii. As mentioned above, there are 3 key games coming out during the end of 2007 and early 2008. These are Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Super Smash Bros Brawl and Super Mario Galaxy. Prime and Galaxy are 1 player and so will be suited to you. Currently on the market you can get other single player games like Zelda Twilight Princess & Red Steel (which also offers a small multiplayer) As well as these games there are the likes of Wii Sports, Wii Play, Wario Ware, soon to be Fifa 08 & Wii Fit which will please single player and multiplayer. The only game so far where I've needed to stand up to play the Wii is for Wii Sports. And it feels great to be swinging the remote like its a tennis racket. But you dont have to do that if you dont want to, a slight shake of the remote will still trigger a hit. Don't forget that there are a whole back catelog of amazing GameCube games which will be cheap in stores. I highly recommend Super Mario Sunshine, Melee, and many more. As well as the games on the Wii, you can fully surf the internet on your TV, check the news & weather, create your own Miis and send messages to your friends and family through the WiiConnect24. If that's not enough you can buy at low costs retro games through the Wii Shop Channel called the Virtual Console. These have a selection of games from several different platforms for you to play, examples are Super Mario 64, the original Zelda & Sonic and more.
