I definitely agree that I wouldn't make Wii the only console I own.
But at the same time - it's not to be missed.
The Wii hacking scene is the hottest in the world right now !  And that's a fact.   It is even way more active than the PSP scene...

The graphics look fine to me.   You won't find anything in 1080p, but buy yourself a pair of component cables - and hook it up to a decent TV, and it looks fine   ;)
Wii has tons of good games.   You just have to wade through a endless library of spoon to know which ones are the gems.   But then again, all consoles have too many chocolatety games released.

I've never been a graphics whore anyway.  I believe that substance and fun is more important.  Incredible graphics are nice, but really are secondary to fun factor.

Hellgiver Wrote:it's online is absurd, with almost no identity given to players, nor communication;

Well that's not true...   The online structure is very poor - granted.  But you do have a Friend ID #, that allows you to play any online game, against any friend  you desire.   Also, there is Wii Speak now, so you have camera, and microphone that you can utilize for online play    ;)

Hellgiver Wrote:its ability for multimedia seems rather poor,

My Wii is hacked   :)
So the multimedia abilities are overall even greater than any other console.   The ONLY thing it can't play is blu-ray.

Hellgiver Wrote:and its controls are still not all that accurate, thus any games that'd REALLY benefit from motion sensing are not well implemented.  I remember when Wii first came out, I was expecting swordplay, lightsaber duels, etc, with fluid and accurate game response to my motions, but it has turned into mostly "wiggle your remote horizontally for a horizontal attack, shove it forward for an impale" etc etc.

You obviously don't realize that Wii Motion Plus has been released ?
