I've played a Wii for a few minutes at my nephew's house and at Best Buy. At my nephew's, I played Wii Play and and at Best Buy, I played Mario Kart. I really didn't find the controls on Wii Play to be that awesome. I mean to make the thing work right, I had to stand up and keep flicking my arm, and that is not the way that I enjoy playing my games. I prefer to be able to sit in a chair and relax when I play a video game not have to stand up to make the control work properly especially if the game clocks in at over twenty hours of playing time. Mario Kart Wii's graphics are grainy and don't seem to be that much of an improvement over the Gamecube, so I don't really know how much fun one can have with a system like that even though they all seem to say this is the funnest console ever with better controls than any other console that's ever existed. Heck, I prefer the Atari 2600's Joystick...except on games like Activision's Decathalon to anything I've seen out of the Wii.
