    At least the Wii brought joy to peoples lives. Can’t say the same about the Soviet Union.

      I like this idea of comparing the Soviet Union to the Wii. Like the Wii allows me to play golf in my living room. Can’t say the same about the Soviet Union!

    Strapless / bumperless Wiimotes probably sold more new TVs than my local Best Buy. So many TVs died from a Wiimote to the face.

    Like three years of difference between the distance between today and the Wii coming out vs when the Soviet Union fully dissolved and the Wii’s release date. So this would have been a relevant revelation around the time the OLED Switch came out.

    I mean the Wii is a pretty new console right? It’s like no more than a decade old right… Right? Oh… Oh no.
