conversely, i've banned nintendo ds's because every time i see a kid using one it is being used in lieu of real human interaction or contact. it's like a babysitter for bad parents.
Why do you have that many Wii games? The kids like playing that many bad games?
And banning DS's I think is really the wrong way to go. I understand your sentiment and agree with it 100%, but the DS, as far as quality of games go, is infinitely superior to the Wii. Granted, I'm the guy with no kids...but why can't you simply restrict the use of a DS to appropriate times? Only a bad parent would use them as a baby sitter, doesn't mean you have to use a DS as a babysitter.
As a point of comparison, I'm a life-long Nintendo loyalist. I have a DS and 43 games for it. I have a PS3 and 24 games for it (not counting downloads). I have had a Wii for a year and am anxiously looking forward to buying my second game for it this month when I get Kirby's Epic Yarn. The Wii's game selection is just unexciting to me.
I think I've said this before here, but I hate motion gaming, so that doesn't help. When I play games, I want to chill and play games. When I want a workout, I have a gym membership. I don't try and merge the two. (So yes, eff the Kinect and eff the Playstation Move, too.)
