The only thing I would worry about is online gaming. It's way too addictive. I would rather have my kids visiting friends and bringing friends over to play together then hang out online all the time.
I was never supervised in what video games we played as kids. Sure they look more realistic now, but the content of operation wolf, wolfenstein 3D or leisure suit larry weren't exactly age appropriate by today's standards. It just led to some difficult to answer questions for my parents, what's a rubber, why do I need one?
As long as they know it's not real it's fine. Although there is one big disadvantage nowadays, everything is voiced, I don't want my kids repeating the language in most of the violent games.
Our first one is only two, just getting interested in 'flying' the airplane in wii sports resort. The 2nd one is still in the womb. Wii U will be fine for them next gen. Maybe Kinect by the age of 4. As of now motion control leaves him cold, he just wants to press buttons and see the airplane hit the water over and over in wii sports resort. No remote or controller is safe in the house, buttons must press buttons.
