Oprah bought a Wii...

Oprah bought a Wii...
Which means 5 million women will randomly buy a Wii.

...

Which means those women will tell other women to buy a Wii.

...

Which means with everyone passing minute, some 30 yr old women will own a gaming system.

...

Which means Nintendo will make so much money, they'll buy your soul.

...

Which means you'll be forced into servitude and forced to play Lair until you die.

...

Oh. My. God.
Lair.

Anyway, according to Kotaku Oprah bought a Wii.
http://kotaku.com/5031379/yes-even-oprah...chased-a-w

Thoughts? Is your mom gonna buy a Wii now?

Spoiler: (hover to reveal the text)
If I may, I just want to ask one thing. If you guys were banking as much dough as Nintendo was off of this casual crowd, would you focus on the "hardcore" audience? Don't give me that "I'd cater to both!" bull****. If you had one choice, which group of people would you focus on? Honestly, if I were in Nintendo's shoes, I wouldn't even give you Mario. I'd say **** you, and make Nintendogs 2, Nintencats, Nintenhamsters, Nintenbabies, Nintengetinthe****ingkitchandmakemeasandwich, Brain Age, Brain Fart, Wii Fit, Wii Fat, ANYTHING to pull in more of that money, but you see... I'm money-hungry. Well, not really, but for $12 billion I'd take a dump on Link and flip you off at the same time.

Enough of the jokes, when I typed the 30 year old women with a gaming system thing and I realized that this was our territory. This used to be 13-21 yr Old Antisocial Male Land, and it's where we would play. Who needs girls or outside when you have a Nintendo 64 and GoldenEye? Nintendo truly is expanding the market, and quite honestly... I'm grateful. My mom plays, my female friends play and even my grandma enjoyed Wii Sports the one time she played it. Yeah, I'm pretty pissed because I want some damn games to play on the Wii that fit my style, but I also have my 360/PS2 to keep me company. Why are people so damn butthurt by Nintendo? It's been almost two years now, get over it. Stop ****ing crying. People who don't even have Wii's are crying. Does Nintendo have that much of a chokehold on you? Enjoy your 360/PS3/PC! If Nintendo comes out with a game you want in the meantime then buy it! Why cry? Nintendo is only going to use your tears as a slip and slide to their wallets. Do you hear people crying because there's no Mario Kart on the 360? No! Why? Because they satisfied with what they have and not complaining. If you want a PS3 game on the Wii then buy a PS3. Enjoy what you have, and stop trying to squeeze apple juice out of an orange. You're not going to get Gears of War on the Wii, or God of War on the DS. Each system has a niche, so shop accordingly. Before you head out though, dry your tears. :/

I could go on forever, but this is a rabbit trail. Give what I said some thought, but don't reply to it. If you do, spoiler tag it. I want to keep the main focus on Oprah. Smile

Oprah bought a Wii so her and Gail would have something to do other than "just being friends".

LAIR would be a good game if it didn't use the SIXAXIS.

you can download the patch so that it doesn't use sixaxis.

I don't mind women playing games, actually I think it's cool, but the one thing I don't want is 50+ men and women playing games because that stifles creativity. Developers won't be as creative, because they know that demographic likes what they like, and doesn't want it changed.

No, single men should rejoice more at Miicrowave. A Mii microwave simulator.

Oh and that sex game for those single men who are lonely.

Oh, there's a patch? Sweet. Have you had a chance to play it with the patch? I was looking forward to it till it flopped. I may be interested again.

Nope I never bought the game because of the issues, but you can go on the PSN and download the patch for free.
