Is it true that the wii's motion sensor will brake after 5 months?

Question

I'm about to get the wii and my friends told me not to get it. They said that the motion sensor brakes after 5 months when you get it and you have to buy a new wii. Is it true? Does it brake?

Answer 1

If that was true, I'm sure Nintendo would be having some serious financial issues right now. The console has a one year warranty on the console itself, and if the millions upon millions of them sold had to be sent in for a (free) warranty repair after five months, the company would not be able to stay in business.

With that noted, I have had mine since November 2006 (launch day), and it has worked flawlessly.

Answer 2

No that is not true!!I have had a Wii for almost a year (6+ months)And My Wii works like the first day!!!Nintendo makes one of the most durable consoles in the market.

Answer 3

Absolutely not. Had my wii for much longer than 5 months and have had no issues with any wii hardware.

Answer 4

I've had my Wii for 20 months and haven't had any problems with it.

Answer 5

Noo!! I wonder who you got that from who would think it??
And besides, you wouldnt have to buy a new Wii. They have aftermarket sensors, you know.

Answer 6

No, that is not true at all.

I've had my Wii since launch and everything still works perfectly.

Answer 7

No. Your components are incorrect. Nintendo is getting sued, yet they are going to in no way provide up their controllers. If something, they are going to could desire to pay those low-lives some million, and positively everyone can pass on.

Answer 8

uh, no...? Had the Wii for over a year now =P
