What was the last gaming console to have been a "Big Deal" for you?

The Wii was kind of a Big Deal. I remember the Christmas of '06 driving out to Costco, then Toys 'R' Us, then BestBuy before finally surrendering and asking my wife's coworker's son-in-law to call when Wall-E World got stock. That will forever be "R___'s Wii" because she helped us get it. 

And it's got backwards-compatability with the Nintendo GameCube, doncha know? 

The Wii had bowling and Super Mario Galaxy and Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. These thoughts (and more!) all come to me as I read this piece. I know I dreamed of gaming again, but hey, I also dreamed of playing guitar. And joining a band of men!

And eating! And shopping! Born to consume, that’s me!
