Saying the wii sucks is a little extreme. My wife and I represent to pretty different sides of the gaming spectrum and we are both disappointed with wii's current selection and their decision to make a less powerful system than what is available today.
To each his own, my friend.
I think it is what you make it..
I'm a gamer through and through. I've been through every system and every genre of game.. I'm one of those rarities that hates FPS and roleplaying games. However, I love GoW, Resistance and the Halo series.
I'm a die hard Madden guy. I play at home alone, with friends and even enter tournaments... But I hate it on the Wii.
My wife isn't a gamer at all. She plays fighting games on other systems and jsut button-mashes... But on the Wii, she is in heaven. I can play Metroid, Galaxy or a VC game, but when she gets home from work and has the mood, we're playing Rayman, Mario vs. Sonic or something similar..
I love it because she is into it and has fun with it.
The workout + spending the time together playing, is worth every bit of the money I spent on it.
Like I was saying though, I don't hear alot of complaints about the Wii resulting in total negatives. I hear alot of people say that the library isn't great, but most of those people are happy in general.
I hear more people crack on the PS3 and its shady library.
I like my PS3, even as just a Blu-Ray, but I play Madden on it, Rockband (just picked it up) and/or a rented game here and there. If I was going to knock any system though, it would have to be that, but only for the less then perfect library.
