Take my advise and wait a few months.  I purchased a Wii a few weeks ago and while I enjoyed playing Zelda everything else seems pretty crappy, and yes that includes Wario Ware. I am by no means a fan boy, but am a gamer that likes variety. The Wii has a tremendous amount of potential but its really looking like its headed for the same fate as the gamecube. The Nintendo oiriginals such as Mario, Zelda, and Metroid are fun and probably the main reason I got the system, however, 3rd party support once again is what could hurt the system. Several 3rd party developers keep making the comment that Wii is kiddie and they will be making mostly family friendly games for the system. Nothing is wrong with games being family friendly, but they can get old. Hopefully, in the long run developers will see that its not just kids that own a Wii but adults as well. I am just not as excited about the future game line up as some of you.

I cant believe people are getting excited about a freaking voting channel! How about giving us something that is useful like a demo/future releases channel. I think I will save my hd space for something else.

Every console goes through this at launch. PS1, PS2, N64, Gamecube, Xbox had very little to offer at launch..

Not having a MMO could realy hurt nintendo. I love the Wii and the fact you can get a group of friends or the family involved, but not having MMO games could really hurt in the long run.

I am really interested in seeing what other things they have in store for wii online. Personally I like the concept of the forcast and news channel but it just seems like a waste of time. If I want the news or the weather forcast I can just watch the local news or read the newspaper. I hope the new channels they are creating are going to be much more useful. Who actually turns on their Wii to read the news and look at the weather forcast(which is never accurate with our real forcast)?

You dont have to listen top people on this thread to tell you how its doing. All you have to do is pull up Sony's financial report from a couple of weeks ago where they discussed the slow PS3's sales. If it wasnt for PS2 sales their console sales numbers would have been rock bottom.

UNC grad here. Not a bad analogy, and I must say I enjoyed watching Duke lose last night.
