Did you know that Nintendo was about ready to throw in the towel at one point?

Back in 2004, sales of the Nintendo GameCube were so poor, that the company was thinking about possibly exiting the home console market. Then came the Wii a couple of years later, which was a huge success.

I always meant to get a Wii literally for like a handful of games that were infinitely replayable. I wonder if a preowned one would be much cop or basically just a broken pos now.

@SW-User I probably wouldn't want to buy a game console that is more than 5 years old. Who knows what it may have been through.

@SubstantialKick That's what gloves and chemicals and anti-bac and Dettol is for. It's like a ritual. 👍
