Ah...classic.In the past few weeks, my wife and I bought a Wii. I must say, this thing is pretty freakin' cool. I'm not a huge gamer by any means, although I do tend to play more in the Winter months when there's less to do outside. The Wii brings a new level of entertainment to your living room. Being able to interact with the console itself, and watch your player respond to your movements is pretty neat to see. Its accuracy is damn near spot on. So far, we have bowling, tennis, baseball, boxing, and golf. And every game is fun in it's own way. My wife and I played baseball last night and I woke up with sore arms from swinging too much. I hate playing golf in real life, but playing it on the Wii is pretty fun. Not to mention the fact, that you can download all of the original Nintendo games directly onto the console, including The Legend of Zelda, Kid Icarus, and many more. I don't think you can compare the Wii to other consoles like the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3. I've played the 360, and while it's cool, it's just not the same as being able to observe and participate in the interaction with the Wii. The 360 obviously focuses on trying to better itself graphic-wise with each release. The Wii, while it's not breath-taking graphic-wise, makes up for that in interaction.
