Here's my take on the whole thing: Right now, console gaming is going through one of it's most amazing transformations ever. 10 years from now, millions upon millions will remember the Wii as the most monumental console and gaming machine ever. That's not my opinion, if the current trends continue, it will be a fact. Anyone who loves games, and video games in particular should be super excited about this, I know I am, for the first time since the SNES/Genesis area. Right now, you have the choice, when your kids ask you in 15 or 25 or however many years from now if you remember the Wii, you can either say, "Yes son, I used to play that thing to death" or "No, I was more interested in something called the Xbox 360". If you go with that last option, your kid(s) will look at you with the same dumbfounded expression that kids today put up when they parents tell them "No, I never took the chance to experience the Ramones live, I was much more interested in polish folk song back then". The choice is yours, the Wii wins with or without you, but think about the children....
