1: sorry but I forgot to add something to my post on the wii not having hd. it has ED functions right now and also lacks digital sound, which it cannot have because of the issue with there being no place to plug in the cords. because the wii's component out port can do 480 through 1080 the wii actually can become hd, it just isn't right now. A firmware update should be able to allow for 1080 output. (but nintendo would never do anything like that when they're making a pile of money already)
2: also forgot to say that if you view hardcore as in mario, zelda, pikmin, animal crossing, etc., all of the above are either unofficially or officially announced. if you didn't hear, a nintendo rep at E3 said that pikmin, mario, and zelda games are all in development.
3: the internet channel is useless if you have a computer. now there's a myth! the tools to use javascript to record wii remote button presses and some waggles were leaked out of nintendo a few months ago. So amateur programmers have been able to make wii games and post them on things like wiicade without voiding warranties, etc., instead of having to go through the whole nintendo developer thing. also it is very fast, IT CAN USE A USB KEYBOARD (they're even making a special one for the wii with a home button), and I love point and click browsing, but hey, not everyone does, so that doesn't count as part of my argument.
I'm not a fanboy, I just don't enjoy dual analog control. It's d-pad or wii-mote for me.
the conduit has changed the way wii play games. 
I know. I'm sick of the puns too.
