Wii Sports does get old, but so do a lot of games.   I was impressed by it the first time I popped it in.  It was some good fun for a bit.  It did get old, but then I started busting it out when we'd have company over.  It's great fun as long as you're not going solo when playing.  That goes for a lot of Wii games.  Nothing will beat a Bomberman party though...nothing....

Which is why they make Bomberman for the Wii

The only reason Wii Sports (and similar such games) is doing so well is because the masses are complacent and lazy, too weak and/or stupid to go outside and play sports for real, yet they want to feel like they're actually doing something.

Wii Sports isn't a substitute for sports, its a substitute for games. Stuff like Adventure Island and Bonk isn't really being made anymore, at least not in a high profile sense. The big sellers are stuff like Halo, WoW, GTA, etc. These games are extremely time consuming, often violent as hell, and many time impenetrably complex for people who have a life outside of games.

I don't own a Wii, but I'm much more likely to play Wii Sports than I am the latest Final Fantasy or CoD title because these games are f*cking useless in short spurts. Generally I just play stuff like PC Engine or something for DS or PSP.
