Advantages: variety of uses, fun for the whole family

Disadvantages: bit of a novelty, not ideal for serious gaming

Depending on what you want out of a console, the Wii is either a godsend, or a nightmare for you. The Nintendo Wii, in many cases, will not satisfy the needs of any hardcore gamer, and is often perceived as something of a technological novelty. That being said, there is no other major console on the market that offers the same level of gameplay for all ages and backgrounds - both gaming experts and complete novices. The Wii is the superior console for multiplayer, light hearted competitive gaming. The very nature of the console lends itself far more to multiplayer games than most others, allowing more than one person to either dance, or play guitar, or wave the wiimote around depending on the nature of your game.

The loading times on the Wii are sometimes quite frustrating however, and the graphics for features such as the Miis are quite poor quality. The wireless synchronicity between the sensor bars and wiimotes also can sometimes be a bit hit and miss depending on the nature your set up, which when you're playing games that require precision and accuracy can be frustrating.

Otherwise, the Wii is the perfect console to get if you want to play games amongst friends or family, or prefer light hearted gaming and the Mario Bros series to more serious games.
