I've had the wii for about a year and I still love it! For the price ($150 last year just before Christmas) it's a pretty great gaming system. I like that it does so much. I've always loved nintendo and in fact haven't owned any other system, so I can't compare it to xbox or ps3 or anything. It's great to be able to download games from online, and I can play my old gamecube games on it too. It's also nice to watch netflix vids on the wii. I will say that I'm not a big fan of the games where you just sit there and shake the remote or something, I prefer the games where you really move. I think the wii is great for what it is and worth the price. For instance the Wii Sports game rocks! I love the games and you really get into it, so much so that after playing for hours yesterday my arms are killing me. I'm a big fan of boxing, which is really fun to play. I have heard about xbox's new game with Kinect where, basically like the wii but without remotes, and it sounds fun. I'm hoping that eventually they develop something like that for the wii, but buying an xbox and kinect for $400 is way too much. Anyway, if you're a nintendo fan you'll probably like the wii, if you aren't, you may like it you may not. It's definitely great for families and such. My grandma even plays wii bowling at her senior center.
