Until this discussion, I have not heard anyone say, "Wait til X comes out to save the Wii" while that has been the common refrain for the PS3.

However, I will say that the Wii is not for everyone. If you like FPS or sports, it is not the console for you. If you like minigame collections, it is without peer.

Also, another thing to remember is that it appears to me that some reviewers don't know how to handle a Wii game because of a prefernece for eye candy.

Please don't take this as a "dish" on the other two systems -- since I don't own them I cannot really comment on them. The 360 looks to be a great system if it doesn not fail. And once Sony decides on what the PS3 is going to be, it might be good too (though the apparent abandonment of BC upsets me).

The bolded makes absolutely no sense. Just because it hasn't had many good titles come out yet means absolutely nothing. On the sports side, Madden '07 Wii is considered by many as the most fun of all '07 iterations. Wii Sports has countless people buying Wii systems. The Bigs wasn't a great title, but many people loved the Wii version. On the FPS side, nobody that's even taken the time to try Metroid Prime 3 will disagree that it has amazing controls. Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 is gaining attention fast. Both have had countless reviewers say that their controls only pale in comparison to PC FPS, and IGN even said that MoH:H2 is only slightly worse than PC. Considering that and the fact that the Wii hasn't been taken completely advantage of yet, I'd say your statement couldn't be more foolish.
