Really, you guys shouldn't beat up on the Wii.

Microsoft and Sony decided to make a big HD-based push into gaming, and Nintendo did an end-run around the whole idea and cashed in big-time. There are a lot of wii consoles out there, and a lot of developers interested in making money off of it.

People like the Wii, it has excellent user-input, is cheaper to buy (and no special Hi-Def TV to buy, either), and is just fun for the people who haven't played games at all (or since the Atari 2600).

Nintendo has hit some serious home-runs as of late, including the Wii and the DS (which people are going crazy for here in Korea).

Don't poop on their parade just because they're giving people what they want now (and not anticipating the future).
