Why Rich People Love the Wii!

There was a survey that showed that the Wii was, by far, the most favored console for the rich.

This is not the first survey that has shown the Wii being favored by the wealthy. Of course, the Hardcore blew a gasket over this. “They only like the fads,” they sneer.

Hardcore are so funny. There are reasons why the rich love the Wii even though the Wii is cheaper (but more expensive than Xbox 360 Arcade).

One of the reasons is that these rich people are from the NES and Atari Eras. They remember gaming when it used to be fun, when it was not about Console Wars or emo JRPGs or urban crime cinema games. Wii is the closest thing to match the NES or Atari 2600 in terms of gameplay.

Rich people have an eye for trends and it was obvious to many that motion controls would be the future. Rich people obviously pick up on the future of the game industry before the hardcore gamers do.

Video games, while a cheap entertainment to the poor, are an outrageously expensive entertainment to the rich. The reason why is because of time. Rich people measure wealth in time, not in money. They can buy all the consoles they want. They just don’t have time to play them. With Wii, they have time to play Wii games. Wii fits better into their daily life.

But most important of all, the Wii is the perfect social game console. One of the behaviors of poor people is that they do not like people or do not like helping people. The rich are constantly with people. And with all those fabulous parties we must attend, the Wii is always a big hit. Parties love the Wii!

Have you ever considered why the Malstrom character always drinks cognac and smokes pristine cigars? It was always pointing toward the fact that the movers and shakers, when they choose a console to play in their spacious mansion with servants, choose the Wii.

Malstrom lights a pristine cigar and takes a puff while holding a glass of cognac.
