Even though i've got a Wii, i've not bought a game for a while. Actually, that's wrong. i've bought a bunch, it's just that none of them have shiny DVD's and plastic cases.
Thing is, i've gotten a mess of really fun games from the online shop, the most expensive being $15. Were i to get a PS3 or XBox, there's even more games i could buy on the cheap. i could be quite happy never getting a full-on game for any of them, but instead messing around with the "little" games like World of Goo. (Ok granted, i'm unnaturally attracted to puzzler games, but that's probably beside the point.)
i also realize that i'm fully into the "casual gamer" category, and frankly don't play as often as i'd prefer for a number of reasons (like the fact that the wii is on the same TV as the Tivo) Heck, i'd be happy buying a console that ONLY played downloaded games, provided there was a way to store them outside of the box (yeah, copying to SD and then dumping the files to a disk is actually fine. i'm cheap.). Gotta figure that the hardware for that has to be damn cheap since you don't need anything more than a core box with a gig' of memory a SDHC slot and a built in 802.11g card.
i wonder when that will ever be released?
