First of all, I hope everyone has had a great Thanksgiving holiday.  This is a time for family, for enjoying each other's company, for good food ... so make sure you step away from your Wii or PS3 long enough to savor that.

That said, I have to say that the last day has proven one thing to me.  All you doubters of what Nintendo was thinking when they decided to let Sony and Microsoft get so far ahead of them technologically ... should have been in our den throughout the day.

We fired up Wii Sports for the first time early this morning, and for the most part, it never left the drive.  It's hardly the system's marquee title, but in my opinion it fully verifies what the House of Mario had in mind when it developed the Wii.  Everyone was playing it ... my mom, my aunt, all the cousins young and old.  Everyone loved it!

We created Miis for all the players, and that was as entertaining as the games themselves.  We used the Photo Channel to show off some freshly-taken digital pictures.  The biggest part of all ... we all had FUN!  We didn't need hundreds of millions of polygons, 1080p resolution or any of that other stuff that people say you have to have if you really want to consider your console to be "next-gen."

We'll be back at it later in the day.  Enjoy your holiday weekend, and happy gaming!
