Positives:
- Basically created the "casual" gaming segment i.e. old people, more women than before, etc. (good or bad depending on your view)
- Good 1st party games (SMG, SMG2, LoZ TP, NSMBW, MK Wii, SSBB, etc)
- Motion controls popularized by Wii (can also be seen as a negative depending on the person)
- Pretty much the only system of the big 3 that has fun split screen games (there are some good splitscreens on 360 and PS3 but not as many)

Negatives:
- 6th gen graphics
- No 3rd party support
- Terrible online service
- Had long ass periods of no good games (including currently, hasn't been a great game since Kirby's Epic Yarn in October 2010)
- Massive amount of shovelware games (party games and what-not)


Overall rating: 5/10 and it's only that high because of the good 1st party games

In comparison I probably give the 360 a 7.5 (would be higher w/o RRoD and lack of 1st party games) and the PS3 like a 7.5 as well or maybe an 8 (would be better if it wasn't pointless to own one before Fall 2007, it didn't have massive delays and long development times and it wasn't always so damn expensive until recently)
