for 250 dollar , this system be worth it . more importantly , if you be think about buy one , the most promising aspect of this system be the potential for group gaming . the controller , like Nintendo advertise , offer a lot of fun for gamer and people who have never touch a video game before -- this aspect beat out the other two , more powerful system . for the most part the controller be strong . now sure there be game out there that be worth play by yourself such as Zelda , but I think the biggest grab this system have be the ability to make gaming fun for everyone . this system have the promise of be the number 2 system because of its price and its ability to be play by almost anyone . the one lack point be the graphic . sure , this may only be a minor aspect for some gamer but I argue the shelf life on this system may only run for about 6 year , while other system such as Playstation 3 have a lot more time due to people lack the current top of the line technology that the other system offer , ex . blue-ray hdtv etc. . recommend as a system for group gaming , fan of Nintendo game , and for serious gamer as a second system .
