    5) racing gamers
    6) etc

    I think I will coin a new type of gamers, wii gamers.

    I am sorry but I honestly believe that the MAJORITY of wii owners are those just getting into gaming which for me is an extremely good thing because it is now making people who weren't interested in gaming now being bought into the world of virtual reality.

    When I hear my wife saying to me she wants a Wii for her birthday, my mother and sister saying to me they want a Wii so that they can exercise, in my mind cements this view.

    This is just my opinion and is in no way suggesting that real gamers don't own Wiis or the wii is not a gaming console just that I believe that at least 80% of Wii owners would actually feel offended to be called gamers.
    you left out the;
    - Xbots
    - Ps3 fanboys
    - Nintendo Fanboys ??
    - Fifa fanboys
    - Madden Fanboys
    - EA fanboys
    - Graphix fanboys
    - puzzle/card gamers
    - downloadable/VC gamers
    - pre-teen kid gamers
    - achievement junkies

    If you buy a game console u automatically fall into some sorta "gamer" category. Its like women who can play mario 1 but NOT mario 3 (I really can't understand why). Fanboy gaming is big nowadays. You could even a person who buys FIFA EVERY YEAR A HARDCORE GAMER. but thats besides the point. The point of the thread is the whole first console / second console thing.

    i would call that a retard... but some ppl just love dem sports games. the poll indicates taht most ppl who have wii have it with something else. Thats 2 pieces of information now that support the statement; the fact that wii gets less use in one survey and is owned along with another console in another survey

    semi u callin me a retard now? I buy FIFA every year sutm wrong wid dat? Damn right I love my FIFA lol matter of fact is it I was jus playing. I have sutm to rant about in the FIFA 09 thread

    But still Owen, if like you're saying this thread is about 2nd console, then u most certainly can't label the wii as that. It may be for many, but it can only be called that by the people who buy them. Matter of fact for a lot of people its their very first console, as it was in fact Nintendo's plan to innovate to attract people who weren't gamers.
    So to find out what is first or second going to vary from person to person and there's no possibly way to truly generalize that

    well then we agree that because its a casual console doesn't necessarily mean its a second choice because it clear has the bigger market share.

    It means that the xbox is your second console because you bought it second. Why did you not buy it first? Ps3 sucked? The xbox has been out for how long now? if you wanted a xbox you could have bought it first. Point of the matter is you had a choice between all the three consoles and you bought the PS3 first ( irregardless of what may have changed your mind later). Which makes the ps3 your first console of choice, with the xbox360 as second and the wii as third.

    what ever made you change your mind after is besides the point. you get what I'm trying to say?

    ya mi get u Owen thats why I say u cant label no console as the 2nd console in terms of order as it is relative only to the person. But the matter of choice(or priority, or what gamers put more time into) is a totally different thing.
    Is like two different choices here, what u choose to buy first an what u choose to put first. An Owen talking bout wat people buy first....... a poll could sort out both issues
