I own a 360 and a Wii and try to trade games on here for both, but there are so few Wii games available for trading.  Why do you think so few people are trading Wii games on here?  Granted, there are only so many good games on the Wii, but I would think that would make those games just that much easier to obtain on here since they are the ones most people probably buy.

The core crowd here seems to be X360 focused, is one thing.  Also, a large amount of the Wii audience is casual gamers and kids, and the ownership model for them is very different. 

Myself, I tend to hold on to games for a few months (depending on genre) to see if they are keepers or not ... which tends to cost me a couple hundred potential points.  My kids, though, never like to give up games - they never know when the mood might strike again.  This means accumulating a large library.

maybe more people have xbox360 over the wii. Or maybe they just have more 360 games than wii.

I agree with Papa Smurf! My boys rarely give up a game and when they do it is usually 100 point game. I would hate to count how many they have stacked up! Embarrassed They hardly play half of them!

My kids still have BeyBlade for the 'Cube ... what a fetid pile of crap that game is ... as was the TV show ... but at least the tops were pretty cool.

Wikipedia bags to differ

whatever i was joking, but the real problem is not my poor spelling, but rather it is the using of wikipedia as a viable and creditable source (you always bag on us younger folk for that one)!

Man i remeber my sophmore and junior english teacher (same teacher) drill the class on not using wikipedia and if anyone had tried to use it in there papers they automatically would be handed back, without looking at the context at all! I personally think he was one of the better teachers in the school.

Edit: by the way i didn't fail his class at all, just worrying if some people took that the wrong way and was thinking thats why i had him for 2 years. i passed his final with a "c" with a broken hand and mind in another place when i was writing the final, and that paper was really really crappy to my knowledge.

College does not consider Wikipedia a credible source either, rightfully so.

I tend to recycle a lot of my 360 games back into the system once I beat them or get tired of them.  Wii games are different though.  Many of them are good for when I have friends over.  I might not ever play them on my own, but they're fun to play with a group of friend.  Truthfully these are generally the only games I'm interested in when it comes to the Wii, so you won't see me sending too many Wii games out to other users.

Agreed and good point - I personally don't consider it a valid research tool and make sure my kids use real research sources, but it does pretty well with typical teen pop culture stuff.

I agree about the Wii audience not fitting ownership models. I am definitely a casual gamer. The Wii is the first system I've ever owned. I buy games but since I'm not an avid player it takes me a really long time to make any progress, both because I'm not very good and because I only use the system a few times a week.

Well everyone keeps the good Wii games and no one wants the crappy ones which people try to unload...so many, so bad and the worst thing is a lot of "causal gamers" don't try before they buy or read a review or two.
