OK, I finally bought a Wii and yes, it is as much fun as people say.
This is totally unusual for me because I never had a Nintendo console, I don't like the Nintendo games, I don't like the cuteness of the characters, I don't like the sounds...I just don't like Nintendo, period so it feel strange to see a Nintendo console in my living room.
First impressions:
The console is small and is perfect for a living room. First thing my wife noticed was how small the box was and she couldn't believe how small the console was. Form factor approved by the wife!
The UI is very well done. It is easy to navigate thru the various menus. There are some cute sounds but they don't get on the nerves. Easy navigation approved by the wife!
I just couldn't have my wife play with me on the Xbox and the 360. I bought "kiddy" games, cute games, easy games but she would not be interested at all. I gave her the Wii controller and she played Wii Sports for 20 minutes right away. Instant gratification, instant fun. Wife approved!
The graphics are just terrible but it does not matter. Wife does not care about graphics!
Build in wireless Internet access is great. You can even surf the Web using a browser based on Opera and even get the weather and the news. Wife cares about the weather!
