oh you were serious
How come no one respects the Wii for winning the gen 7 console wars

The Wii had the weakest game library of that generation and was also behind the Xbox 360 and PS3 when it came to technology.

This is a non-issue.
I agree with you.
The Wii U flopped due to poor marketing. Exhibit A:
because soccer moms owned the console
truth be told a W is a W but I never bought the console because it wasn't an upgrade over my gamecube
It never appealed to me either. Never bought it. In fact, it was the first Nintendo console I didn't buy.

In all honesty the same could be said for PS3/360/PS4/XB1 owners. Back on the PS3 most people on my friend list would spend more time on netflix than actually playing a game. A mediocre game with great graphics would be hyped to death on the internet, people would buy it, play it for a week then go back to netflix. You Madden/NBA2K types treat games like glorified tech demos ONLY being concerned with the graphics, the framerates, and other irrelevant technical details. It's the reason why a boring piece of shyt like Assassin's Creed and CoD are able to sell millions every year.
I'm merely talking from my personal experience and from what I've observed. Gaming has become sorta a status symbol like owning an iphone or a new pair of Jordans. I've known people to brag about buying a console or a game at a midnight release. Yeah you're one of the first people to buy Battlefield 1 at the midnight release.....so what? Want a cookie? I get the vibe that these people don't genuinely enjoy gaming and only doing it to 'show off'.

If the Wii was such a success they wouldn't even need to focus on marketing as much. People heard Wii and said nah, I'm good
Nintendo believed they had a winner with the Wii brand such as Microsoft and Sony have with their xbox and PlayStation and were humbled. It appealed to a casual crowd and the Wii U was anything but. casuals moved on to phones.
The Wii was one of the worst consoles I have ever owned TBH.

Breh. We see the Pikachu avatar. The Wii was being bought by old grandparents and shyt for Wii Fit. The 360 and co might have been bought by casuals but those casuals were actual gamers as well
Wii was lowkey the best console of all time

The Wii is trash.
Real nikkas playing on real consoles.

Because most nikkas would rather enjoy playing a video game sitting using a controller/mouse instead of moving their arms and hands constantly

You're a 100% right. Nikkas ain't got time for all that extra crap.
Plus you can't really put no time in a Wii.
With the PS3, xbox 360, pc you can put in hours and play online.
