Heh heh. I still don't think you can be "more bored" with something. In my mind there are no differing degrees of "bored". Bored is bored.
But that aside, I still disagree with you.
You say that since the Wii doesn't stack up with the 360 due to limited online funcionality, doesn't play DVD's and such that you will automatically be "more bored" (still, no such thing!
). But I say that if someone is bored with a console that HAS great online functionality, CAN play DVD's and etc... then that obviously is not what they desire out of a console. So a console that doesn't have those features and adds unique gameplay may indeed be what they seek.
I don't particularly care about online gameplay. I have too many standalone DVD players sitting around doing nothing already, and to me the absurd price tag for the controllers is more than made up by the cheaper games and "fun" factor.
So I guess if I believed in such a thing, you could say that I would be "more bored" with a 360.
If you let yourself sufficiently get into it (don't just sit on the couch and twitch, make a fool of yourself damnit)
That's exactly right. Wii Sports
can give you a workout if you sufficiently allow yourself to get in to it. Sure you can swing the bat with a slight twitch, or return a serve with a simple rotation, but that doesn't mean you HAVE to play it that way.
When I play Wii Sports I make myself pretend like I'm actually playing the sport. When I'm up to bat I'm actually standing in a batter's stance. When I'm playing tennis I'm playing like I do in real life. And when I'm boxing I'm up, bouncing around, ducking and leaning and throwing punches like a genuine boxing match.
It becomes a workout if you allow it to be. Play Wii Boxing for over two hours and you will absolutely break a sweat if you allow yourself to.
Can you play Wii Sports while sitting on the couch eating Cheetos? Absolutely. But why would you??
