It's obviously because all wii owners are soccer moms or six year olds.

Also the Wii and Nintendo in general focuses on family friendly gaming. On the Wii and most Nintendo systems you will see a lot less rated M games that you would see on a Microsoft or Sony platform.

Most likely reason would be that you can't arrest eight year olds.
And you did not just try and create a link between crime and video games did you?
Because if you did *shakes fist*

Isn't it obvious?
Anyone who uses Microsoft products are idiots.

Jk... Jk.

Maybe because the audience is a bit different for the Wii.

Typical Wii owners are people who don't get arrested. simple.

Instead of "simulations of gratuitous violence" the Wii gets Mario, puppies, flowers, and sunshine. I'm amazed those kids haven't been arrested for hangin' with Mary Jane.

I join in, but instead of my fist, I shake MrBluray...

because the wii owners are too busy seeking treatment for upper-body rsi to commit crimes in their spare time?

ba-zing?

oh! oh! oh, wait - no, got a good one: because wii owners are too easily distracted by bright colours and shiny thing to commit crime.

gosh, this is like a postmodern "lightbulb" joke, isn't it?

It's proven that arcade shooters and wii, improve coordination, accuracy, reaction time, and attention to detaail. In short they are more affective shooters making for easier get aways.

Naw just kidding, it cause they're 6 year olds and pregnant housewives. Old people who need to get skinny but are too damned lazy to excercise. If you've got a wii your sure as hell not going to have the energy to shoot up a town. (this applies to fat gamers too)

People who own the Wii don't play it enough to be called 'Wii Gamers'

Any real gamer who owns a wii will all but likely own, at least an Xbox or PS2. My friend owns only a Wii for the next gen 'cause she got it at a dead rate bargin. She wants a 360.

I didn't know the Wii had Halo 3.

It's legal to kill others with Wii remotes.

I can confirm this one. I own all three next-gen(current-gen, though o_0) consoles, and all Wii games are eathier a) version of games on other consoles but withought content or graphics, or b) dumbed-down so far that the cat can play. The cat would probably do pretty well against the people who play Wii.

You make a very interesting point there. The Wii is easy to play, teach the cat how to play and the cat would pown 80% of the 5 year old kids that play.

I agree with the posters about Wii players not being real gamers...just the old school kind that live in their parents' basement with other systems for the hardcore.....or just play the virtual console.

Because they are too busy removing the Wiimote from their shiny plasma TV.

the only thing that came out recently for the Wii which would have a chance of convincing me to buy one is the House Of The Dead games, and then only so i could use this mother fucker:

it's the House of The Dead: Overkill Hand Cannon.

my mate up in York has this, and he declares it to be one of the most awesome yet pointless things he's ever bought

They do have Wiis, just the game box on the top of the pile is "happy sunshine kittens conversation helpers" so the CSI's ignore it and move on.

I think a lot of us are missing the undertone of this thread. Generally to be arrested, you have to commit a crime...I feel as though some of the responses to this thread are implying that Wii owners should commit more atrocities against society so they can join the autere prison chapter of the gaming hierarchy where all the cool XBox owners hang out.

As long as we're going to butcher the English language, let's do it correctly: there is no "o" in "pwn".

It's all a conspiracy! Nintendo sees to it that no Wii owners ever get arrested, thereby ensuring its customer base!

Thats probably the worst question Ive ever seen here

Simple: no accounts, no random adding of friends, no 24/7 voice chat, no messaging. You don't get that sort of thing because that sort of thing is completely impossible to do on a Wii.

That all of course comes with the cost of the Wii's online system being an absolute pain to use, though. But it's the common dilemma: will you allow users the freedom to do cool stuff with the risk of some folks misusing it, or will you make sure that any feature that could potential be misused isn't going to be implemented?
