Much has been made of how the Wii is outselling all the other consoles. Part of this has to do with price, but a lot of it has to do with its controller. People really like the dongle. I've seen this firsthand. My friend has a Wii and a 360. When people end up at his house after a night of partying, they never want to play Halo 2. They always want to play the Wii. Drunk chicks really like the dongle.

So people say that peripherals never sell. But what if they were attached to a game that was going to sell like crazy? People seem to think that Singstar will sell 20 million units and turn this console generation around for the PS3. What if the Singstar controller was a dongle of sorts that worked for other games? All of a sudden, it's a whole different ballgame.

You gotta do better than that for a tag, friend.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Dongle for president? Not sure if that is the saving grace for a console. Wii has its strengths, amongst them is this dongle, as you describe. Chicks dig dongle.

 

[SonSon2]

Dongle?

:lol :lol :lol
Yeah..I had sex with every mod, posted stupid things and I'm a big Mortal Kombat fanboy..and have nearly 3,000 posts..and no tag..
Oh well..

In any case, remember that the PS3 also have motion sensors..so it is already a "dongle" ...just not shaped like one..

Yeah, but the Wii's dongle is a lot more functional.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

When I think dongle, I think annoying hardware encryption devices that tend to break off when you move video editing suits around without first disconnecting everything. But hey, I guess it works for that thing too. Or not.

I don't think you understand what a dongle is.

That is what a dongle is.

 

[legend166]

Since when was it ever referred to as a dongle?

This is the first I've heard of it. I thought you were talking about the stupid USB wi-fi dongle.

 

[rakka]

Logic Pro 7.

 

[polyh3dron]

The Wii remote is not a dongle.. I suggest you look up the meaning of the term "dongle". I hear you can do it on this cool thing called the intarweb.

I draw a line in the sand at waggle wand.

 

[Green Shinobi]

I don't think you understand what a dongle is.



That is what a dongle is.

Everyone seems to refer to the Wiimote as a dongle. That's the first time I'd ever heard the word.

 

[Kobun Heat]

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Then "everyone" is stupid. Who the hell is this "everyone" anyway?

Wiimote is a controller. The Wii/DS USB Wifi adapter is a dongle. The more you know.gif

F*ck.

Oh well, damage done.

Will the PS3 ever get a Wiimote equivalent would have been the better title, I guess.

Unfortunately, I suspect Tom Hanks.

Why?

lol, pwned.

I guess thread ideas that occur to you after a bottle of wine or two aren't always the most well-researched, or the best-advised.

Pretty funny though. Next time go with:

Will PS3 owners ever get rickets?

He confused dongles with waggles!

I know, I know, but I'm spoken for.

That's actually what I thought the thread title was referencing.

Teh USB port in front or the one at teh back?

 

[TheJollyCorner]

you all are just a bunch of damn dongle-biters!

 

[Green Shinobi]

I guess I thought a dongle was any secondary peripheral, like something that would go into a USB port, even though the Wii doesn't have one.

 

[jaundicejuice]

Either or!

And the best part is there are no scores, there are no rules, you can't win or lose...it's the ultimate non-game!

[jaundicejuice]

The Dongle Game is going to be the biggest thing since Log.

 

[consoul]

You don't waggle a dongle.

The Wi-fi USB thing is the Nintendongle, the Wii remote isn't.

It was such a disappointing tag bait thread that he should be punished by taking MY tag, and I take his.

Hm? My Wii has two USB ports in the back. They do absolutely nothing right now, of course, but they're there.

Where the hell did that tag come from anyway? :lol

Surprised no one has posted the Reggie dongle gif...
