I enjoy my Wii. Just hack it and you can get all the games for free or use it as a media player or netflix or web server or any number of things really. You could practically reprogram it like a rasberry pi

I actually think its the same with all, Kinect, and PS3 move, they aren't popular because honestly, gamers like to have a controller, they do not want to use their body to play. We do not want to exercise.

I like to exercise.
But I think that the reason that the Wii didn't get popular is because of the whole different part of a controller in each hand. As console gamers we like to have our hands close together to play. The only games that I liked on the Wii were Mario and Brawl.
Also, when they upgraded the white Wii to the black Wii they got rid of the Gamecube controller slots. Shitty as hell.

I agree with this, except that I happened to like Dragon Quest: Swords on it as well. ^_^

The Wii wasn't very popular when I was a bit younger, It kind of sucked in my opinion.

Because of rival competitors such as Kinect, and PS3 Move. Also, people want to play games like cod etc, and playing that on wii is absolute shit.

I think this is the main reason. But also when people think of the wii they think of kidd-ish games so they don't attract hardcore gamers.

That's why the Wii U won't suck as bad... They learned from that mistake and they're brining out better games, for example; The zombie game and other FPS games

...

Mario games have been horrible for the last few years
The exception was Paper Mario

[Dinosaws]

I used to have a WII but it just felt horrible, I mean I was looking at WII gameplay of MW3 gold guns and it's just horrible and I couldn't play on it.

The Wii didn't catch on because of the advertising model they worked with, but also because of the problems the console had upon release. A lot of games didn't really execute the motion sensor aspect very well, and by the time they started too, the console didn't have a large enough audience to make a huge different. I think the Wii U will bring it back up a lot, but I don't think it's the same direction as before. The Kinect is going to outclass them soon, in my opinion.
