The Wii

I didn't catch on to the Wii frenzy until about a year ago. My younger brother wasn't that interested, and I usually don't pick up on the latest gamer trends until he does. However, our neighbor got one for christmas and he would not leave his house. I was even a little bit obsessed with the basic Wii Sports. My brother finally decided he HAD to have one and after an endless and futile search, he ended up convincing one of his friends to sell his to him. I felt like it had gotten to the point where he would pay any amount of money just to have this little game. But, it really isn't just a game, it is a game of the future. Not only can we "act out" any sport, exercise with "Wii fit" or race cars with an actual steering wheel, it also has educational games that companies such as Jump Start has created.
