Wii: They should have marked the "up" direction for the discs to be inserted, I've seen more than one person try to put them in upside down. It would be nice if there was slightly better cooling when it's in standby mode, I've heard of some consoles overheating and being damaged. The Wii could also use more internal flash, or at least the ability to use SD cards for executables. It would be nice to be able to use wireless keyboards, a bluetooth keyboard (perhaps even a mouse) should be well within the realm of possibility. The interface is a bit limited, although the simplicity is likely intended to reach a wider audience. Still, it would be nice to have a hierarchial interface in places. Subscreens for each game platform for the virtual console (say, NES, SNES, Genesis, etc. subscreens) wouldn't hurt. I suppose a firmware update will fix some of these issues. Most likely we'll get external USB storage support first, but it seems that executing VC games and applications from SD should be easy to add. We should be able to swap in and out SD cards like rewriteable game carts. I'm not interested in the graphics power struggle, and the Wii is the only "Next Gen" console I own, so that's really about it for me. I'm overall very happy with the purchase.
