I scored my Wii quite unexpectedly last year. I was walking through a Microcenter, looking for something trivial and small when I passed the Wii display, and asked the salesman if they had any in stock. Expecting a ‘no’, I was a little stunned when he said he had one left, and I felt nearly obligated to buy it, given how much whining I had previously done about how hard they are to find.

And thus, now we are Wii-ers. And sure, I live on a golf course, but that doesn’t make me feel guilty about playing Wii golf, instead. I might have to draw the line, however, at Wii Fit.
