8/10
Pros:
- a pure stroke of genius in most senses, weren't for some cons I'll list, its possibilities would have been almost endless
Cons:
- unlike what early PR suggested, WM+ capabilities weren't included as standard from the start, this crippled their chances to be used by 3rd parties, and they were underused by 1st parties too
- too little main RAM, while exclusives can be written overcoming this limit, it made porting of big 3rd party multiplatforms very difficult or even impossible without major rewritings
- Ninty gave up too early, Wii still had the potential for some more years of healthy life, not at the level of its peak, but it could have kept on beating its competitors yearly WW by a good margin, if supported enough.
-Edit: I forgot another con, region lock. Region lock is pure shit with the sole purpose of easing prehistoric marketing policies and with no benefit at all, only disadvantages, for the users.
