- Wii - Excelent Games Console
The Wii is undoubtedly unique in the home console market. while motion sensitive controllers have been implemented on other consoles, none of them have gone about it in quite the same way. the wii remote acts as a pointer, can tell how far it is from the screen, and has motion sensing capabilities. all of these features work well in the varying situations that the games present.
To those who claim that the controllers don't work, well I've seen people struggle to use them and blame the controllers when it's been plainly obvious that what they're doing with it is no where near what they are supposed to be doing with it or what they think they are doing with it. Some (most) persevere and figure out how to get it right, others blame the tools. This is part of the magic of the console, it brings a new dimension to getting the game right, it's no longer just a matter of timing. if you prefer button bashing and analogue sticks then that's fine, but the wii is not difficult to master, it's fun to master.
The console it's self is not as powerful as it rivals, but there's no rule to say that a powerful console is better all the time. the wii has quick load times and the quality of graphics that nintendo has always churned out. if all you want from a game is photo realism then the wii isn't for you, but please try to remember that this is a piece of hardware bought solely to play GAMES on. the only point of playing a game is to have fun.
there could be more games for it, but the ones that have been made specifically for it benefit greatly from the controller. they work really really well and are great fun.
to sum up, i would be inclined to think that the people who feel the controllers are poor probably didn't get it right the first time they picked it up and gave up with them (we're all guilty of doing that at some point in our lives). Those who say it's boring after a day have more of an issue with the games they have for it, but bear in mind wii sports is a free starter game, it's not meant to be an in depth saga, i've racked up 45 hours on LOZ. Those who are offended by the consoles power are frankly misguided in the decision making process, the consoles control system is next gen, not it's processor, and who cares if it wasn't anyway? I'd still play on my commodore 64 if it worked because it's fun.

- Innovative but Flawed
It doesn't really have that 'addictive' quality that some consoles or games have. I think the graphics are a step backwards but the idea behind the controllers is truly genius, although I do question the sensitivity. I am sure that this is something that can be improved upon.
The cuddly world of Nintendo lacks longevity for me. I have a DS and similarly the touchy feely world of stroking and cuddling animals wears off pretty quickly. I look at a game like Assassin's Creed (I know, I know, a different market) and I see a game that you could well play for hours. Its a shame because there is no reason why Wii games have to be cuddly, could you imagine a title like grand theft auto on the Wii, if it was done properly? (might be a step too far though, in terms of 'interaction' and violence!)
With strong advertising and a unique interface, I think the Wii is selling well. I just hope that some of the titles that flow through to this console don't just ride on this inovation but actually try and innovate themselves.

- Wii - The Best Gameplay! Unique Controls! The Most Exclusive Games!
The Wii has the most exclusive titles than any other console (PS3 and Xbox 360) with more being announced daily! The Nintendo Wii is the dominant console of the three and is predicted by EA and others to outsell it competitors well into the year 2011 at least!! Some reviewers mock the graphics but THEY ARE ARE AS GOOD AS AN XBOX, GET THE COMPONENT CABLE FOR 480P HIGH RESOLUTION. GET A WII WHILST YOU CAN BECAUSE WHEN WII FIT HITS THE STREETS 25TH APRIL, THIS WILL GENERATE AN EVEN GREATER DEMAND FOR THIS HIGHLY SORT AND UNIQUE CONSOLE!
Rating: - Nintendo Wii Rules!!!!
There's nothing better than a Nintendo Wii that I've ever experienced! You can play all of your Wii games for as long as you want and there's so many you can buy!! There's even a shopping channel, forecast channel and news channel! There's also something called a Mii channel, wich is where you create your own characters to use when you play Wii Sports. A truly brilliant thing, I'd certainly go ahead and buy one if you're considering!!!!!!

- Fun for five minutes
The Wii is great for an evenings entertainment but I found that very little skill is required. For instance when it comes to the boxing I've never lost (infact I think I've only been knocked down once!) it's simply a case of playing the air drums and not pretending to box - I don't even have to look at the screen! Takes the fun out of it I suppose.
It's very limited for entertainment especially when it comes to proper gamers.
