With the growing sales of over 3.2 million Wiis sold, the Wii phenomonom increases. Can you become addicted to Wii?. Many will say it is not possible to be physically addicted to Wii, however the trends may show a different side. So how do you know if you're addicted?
Even though the addiction may not be caused by a chemical imbalance, there are factors that may hint toward an addiction. Lets take a look at some of these symptoms.
Lets say you get pulled over by the police because you are in a parking lot racing around in your car. You think you are in a Mario Brothers cart and your only excuse is that you just made a your high score.
You jump off your couch and do a back flip everytime you get up because you think you are racing down the hill on a pair of skis. Or you get trigger finger that leads you to go to the doctors. Thats not so good!
How about when you go bowling with friends and you can't actually get the ball down the lane because you are used to the wii and bowling from your living room. Even worse, when actually bowl more than a 200 at a bowling alley after you have only bowled one other time in your life.
What are your symptoms? Is it insomnia, loss of appetite? Or is the fact you haven't left the house in a month?
In my opinion there is no addiction. These are the signs of a true gamer who enjoys the Wii. This trend is a sign of changing times as it draws people closer. New bonds betweens families and friends are formed as well an increase level of fitness. Ride the wave of the Wii and keep gaming!
