Advantages: controllers

Disadvantages: price, bad games, poor processing power, gimick,

The wii. The bane of my life. I personally think that the nintendo wii is just one big gimick, that has just been really well marketed. The only remotely good thing about this console is this whole crazy numchuck system of controling characters, but even this novelty wears off after around thirty minutes of playing with the wii. This console has nowhere near as much processing power, or good graphics as the xbox 360 or the playstation 3, and yet it seems everyone wants one of these over them? Why? I haven't the foggiest. This console is more aimed at "fun" family games and parties and the like, but the way i see this console, its basically a console based on eyetoy. I seriously dispise this console, and another thing that hacks me off about it is the way it is marketed to increase your fitness with games such as wii fit, whereas the honest reality is that this console will not make you any fitter or stronger whatsoever, you would be better of either doing push ups or going for a jog. Also, the way all the games have similar character systems, like either someone from the mario series, or a character you customise yourself, its just all one big gimick!!!

Summary: DO NOT GET THIS CONSOLE!

You say that the console is aimed at 'fun' family games? Is that what family games are suppose to be? I got one of these for my son for Christmas and he loves it, we can all play as a family and he can play alone or with his friends. I have not got Wii Fit but I know people who have and they have said how good they are. Obviously everyone has their own opinion though!!! Even so I do not find the review very useful as it does not tell me much about the console or what games you can get etc etc
