Wii, the Waggle Box, Popular This Year

According to Forbes.com, 13 million people have bought the Nintendo Wii, affectionately called the Waggle Box.

That's the tip of the iceberg. More people want the Waggle Box and might not be able to buy it because the company can't make them fast enough.

And, get this, the Wii is an entertainment hit at retirement homes!

Parents seem to like the Wii because Wisters (the game players) have a selection of games that last only two minutes. On consoles like the XBox 360 games are longer and it's harder to get kids to stop playing.

Wize.com likes the Wii. It rates 98/100, a rating that is compiled by opinions that come from many sources.

Julie, a wizeguy at wize.com says this of her experience buying the Wii:  "Such a revolutionary gaming system! We stood in line outside in 19 degree weather while i t snowed for an HOUR to get our hands on one. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Any generation can play...our 2 year old nephew loves it, and my boyfriend's middle-aged parents even bought their own!
