He probably played his mix tape on his Wii

my friend told me that his wii caught fire a few years ago while playing. its actually a lot more common than people think

[jefferysparks]

Looks at my Wii and decides its time to be unplugged when i'm not in the room...

This is a sign from the PC gods. Change your ways people...or else

[HikariSakai]

he probably put a PC game on max settings in that wii and the wii overheated the processor which got so hot that it burst into flames, that's my theory ;)

[oneoftheonly]

How nice would it be if Nintendo gave him another wii for free LOL

[THGhost]

How was it fortunate that he wasn't at home when the fire started? He could have put it out if he was!

[kampong]

Why does the description have the sentence from the last news video?

[TheXeliminatorX]

Wii didn't start the fire! It was always burning since the world's been turning.

I would not consider this burning your house down.

[NewKingBrandon]

Has anyone mentioned that it looks a lot better now?

[giguyjoe]

Why are we even making this into a Gamespot news report?

[TheSnorlax]

Thank God the Xbox 360 survived!....

(Oh... and...yeah.. Sorry about your house too..  or whatever...)

[Kremenala]

That's what you get by trying to play your mixtape on the Wii

[Hijynx]

Looks like a shoddy wiring job to me, lol. The Wii seems like a sturdy console like the gamecube/xbox/ps2 and prior days. Now consoles are prone to get really hot, power supplys could pop, etc.

Wii, the first console to kill itself.

[SixCubitMan]

That guy shouldn't have tried to use his Wii to run my mixtape.

[Sjono]

PS3 was called a George Foreman grill and the Wii was called a toaster. What was the 360 called?

[JonCofer]

that burnt wii design looks cool i'd buy it
