The only downside of the Wii is the game selection right now. Too many kiddie games, bar a few, but right now I think they are going for more of an active family fun kind of kick. Games like Wario Ware and Rayman Raving Rabbids and Wii Sports are games that are fun and active that anyone can learn and play. My parents even bought a Wii for themselves and love the sports game. Also, once companies figure out better ways to use that remote to its full potential, its going to be an awesome machine. I can't wait for a real MLB baseball game and more action games.
