@siavm  i agree, i dont get why some deride the 3DS but praise the wiimote???  the motion controls didnt really give that much change like people like to think. Ok Wii Sports is alright ,but look at tennis you cant even control the avatar its on rails tennis, like a tennis version of a light gun game. Does that add to the experience??? not really they added something but took something away. same with boxing doesnt track the body movement, baseball to a lesser extent. Golf and Bowling are ok. FPSs??? fine, but how much of them have been made that utilize it??? how much of those games are actually worth a crap?? IMHO there are games that dont even benefit from motion fighting games, platformers(no shaking the damn controller is not good motion) beat em ups, sports, RPGs, but they did make dancing mainstream and exercise games too. Thank god for US' body image problems (im glad im not fat and dont like to fake dance)

The beauty of Wii Sports is that it can be fun for a hardcore gamer that wants to try to get platinum medals in the training mode, but that it also serves as tutorial on how to use the Wii Remote for the "casual" gamer.   Yes, Tennis was on rails as you put it, but have you tried some of the later tennis games like Grand Slam Tennis that allows you to control with the Nunchuck and uses Wii Motion Plus?  The controls are excellent.  Basically what I'm saying is that Wii Sports is a launch game and several improvements have been made since then.

I praise the Wii Remote because it improves gameplay.  Look at how much quicker you can aim in a FPS without using an analog stick.  I agree that most of the FPS on the Wii are crappy , but that pretty much backs up my statements about 3rd party support.

I deride the 3DS because honestly am not a guy that thinks that graphics should be the focal point of gaming.  Especailly not "3D graphics".  People can talk about 3D graphics all they want but until it looks like how the real world looks, then they aren't truly 3D.  That was my point when I said that I can't see 3D and not that I can't actually see it.  

The 3DS ate my homework and got my neighbor's children grounded.
