The Wii is one of the latest crazes in the video gaming world.  With a limited amount being sold to people, it’s rarity increases all the time.  But, who would have thought that you could make money by owning a Wii.  Sure, you could make money by buying one and then selling it on e-bay, but where’s the fun in that?  My roommate got a Wii last week the day that it was sold and as I was sitting here watching them play, I suddenly had the wildest idea.  It was an idea so great, I could not help but want to share it with you all.

With the new controller, it makes it so much more exciting than other systems.  Sure, the PS3 is another craze, but with the Wii, you almost become the character you’re playing as.  So, as I was sitting here, it dawned on me…People PAY to go to a bowling alley and bowl.  People PAY to go to the arcade and play games.  So, why wouldn’t they PAY to play the Wii?  Get enough games and you can charge money per game or per set interval of time.

Think of it this way…You have the Wii sports that has: golf, bowling, boxing, baseball and tennis.  The first time I tried the game, I was addicted to it.  Would I pay?  Yeah, and that’s saying a lot because I am a pretty cheap person.  So, why wouldn’t someone else pay?  The bowling is pretty real.  If you twist your wrist just a little, suddenly your ball curves and you get an amazing strike if it’s lined up perfectly.  You could even do a boxing tournament and have some bets.  Control the bets and give 50% to the winner and voila, you make some nice money.  Obviously, gambling is not the best idea, but if it’s harmless things, I don’t see why it’s that bad.  Besides, every buck to a college student is like a million dollars to a millionaire.  It does mean a lot.

So, to sum it all up.  If you can get a Wii, make the investment with your roommate and then start selling game time.  Sure, it’s going to take time, but the next thing you know, you’re making forty to fifty dollars every day and by the end of the week, you have pretty much made a return.  I just have to persuade my rommate to let me use his Wii and I could see a nice return in this as well.  College students spend so much on alcohol, I’m sure they’d spend a nice chunk of cash on the Wii.  Good luck!
