Second of all, I almost never play games with my friends. I really cannot recall too many occasions when I've had friends over to play games, we typically do other things when we catch up. Gaming parties just isn't something that my group of friends does. The Wii tends to be a very social console, but I wouldn't use a console that way so that aspect of the system wouldn't work for me. A reasonable percentage of the games are "party" games, so there's a reasonable percentage of the Wii's library that I simply would get no value from.

I think that is my problem with the system as well.  When I meet up with friends it's usually to either go see a movie, go to a bar, go to a pub or restaurant to eat, play pool, hang out at a swimming pool, bbq, go on a road trip, etc, most of my friends simply aren't gamers, in fact one of them hates all types of games and systems including the Wii.  Since I usually play my games alone or multiplayer against people over the internet it probably comes as no surprise that the Wii doesn't appeal to me as much as the other consoles.
