It's definitely a cool nifty system. I think a lot of people who don't own one are quick to judge, but graphics don't mean shit. The Wii is the best selling system of the 3 main consoles(PS3/XBOX 360/Wii). I love the Wii shop, playing all the hold school Nintendo and Genesis games(among others). Not saying it's the best, but I like it a lot and for $100, it's a damn good investment.
