Advantages: It has some opportunities for the future

Disadvantages: The graphics aren't good, the games are rather boring

I'm disappointed with the Wii. I think the idea behind it is really fantastic, but there is simply not enough support for it. I'm a fairly hardcore gamer and I can say that the really good games are still missing on the Wii. Sure, Wii Sports and other games are really cool, but after a while they get bored and you still yearn for a good game where you can play longer than a week with. The support is rather bad. What I want to say is: where are the good first person shooters??? The real-life movements so far have been simple 'movements' which is a pity, because you don't need to make an effort to play on the Wii. This console is for the 'lazy'people (there are many people with overweight that play the Wii and then they think that they are doing sport), really absurd! The money is really not worth it; just wait until there are games that really use the capabilities of the Wii. Especially when you are a hardcore gamer, it is better to buy an XBOX 360. Certainly, the Wii image quality with the wrong specs, on my HDTV is just incredibly ugly, even the special cables do not help, which is unfortunate because it is painful to watch! Especially in comparison with the support of HD 360 and PS3, and yes, HD is the future. I do not buy an expensive TV for ugly graphics! Disappointing so far, I had really expected more!

Summary: You shouldn't spend money on this console. Just wait a couple of years until there are better games

I take your point BUT the innovativation and imagination that has gone into the wii is immense

What about the Resident Evils and the Tomb Raiders and Zelda and Mario Galaxy and the like? I admit it has been overloaded with mini game games, but there are good RPGs on there too.
