The best thing about the Wii is the fact it gives you a really unique experience. So far, Microsoft and Sony are only trying to give a cheaper entry to the world of pc gaming. They offer high quality graphics, excellent online gaming, endless need of updates, never ending install routines and bugs, they are specially good on bugs -- but fear not, after a few patches your games will work almost flawless.

The Wii offers you an excellent local multiplayer platform with a user friendly interface, especially the intuitive controls. Also, it has the strange advantage of not allowing game patches, which mean Wii's games are usually less buggy than their equivalent in other platforms -- yes, it sounds strange, but I am convinced this is a good feature. Regarding software, the third party offering is lacking but improving. However, Nintendo software is very strong, no wonder is considered by many the best game developing company overall. Series such as Mario, Zelda, Kart, Metroid are a must to any gamer. That said, if you're looking for cheap violence, you will not enjoy Nintendo style.
