Has the Wii become one of the biggest disappointments in gaming?

[zippy]

No the Wii is not a failure,not by a long shot.
1,It has more variety in games than the HD consoles.
2,It is this gens best selling console.
3,It appeals to casual gamers (wii sports,wii party,just dance etc) and hardcore gamers (xenoblade,zelda,goledneye etc)
4,It has some of the highest rating games of all time (galaxy 1&2,skyward sword)
5,it has never had the "red ring of death" (probably one of the most shameful moments in gaming,how people stay loyal to microsoft after that debacle is beyond me)
6,It has even got my wife into gaming,even to the extent that shes finished with zumba and now playing cursed mountain.
7,full backward compatibilty to play the cube classics.
This is not the view of a fanboy either,i have owned a 360 in the past (which died on me) and i also own a PS3 which i think is a great gamers console.My point is that many people diss the wii unfairly and its not half as bad as people make out.Yes its slowing down in sales now,mainly due to lack of games,HD consoles being cheaper,and also HD tvs costing a hell of a lot less than they did when wii was released in 2006.If anything i think the PS3 and 360 may have been slightly ahead of time when released and its now that HD gaming is becoming more to the fore,as its so much more affordable to be a hd gamer these days.
