I conclude that this console is nothing more than a fad, a gimmick, and something with no lasting hardcore appeal whatsoever.
Casuals do not care about zelda or super smash bros or samus, they care about wii sports and the controller. The wii has awesome potential for attracting casuals to gamming, but almost none for hardcore gamers. With the low system power, it seems the Wii was more of an expiriment. The WII is not selling much software bc most of it is bad, and no one plays anything besides WII sports. Even to casuals wii sports will get old.
However the wii has been very succesful. The only thing that stops me from buying one is the lack of horsepower and the lack of games. All anyone plays on the wii is wii sports and that is fun, but it just gets old for me.
The wii controller has so much potential for games, but the system just doesnt. It is not powerful enough. I can only imagine how much fun it would be to play CSS or halo3 with that controller. I wish MS would just copy off NINtendo and make one. IMO the wii has no lasting appeal. If your the kind of person that enjoys playing wii sports for the next few years with only a few good games in between, buy one.
The controller is easily the best thing about the system, without it the Wii wouldnt even sell. It has no games, no lasting appeal. It is fresh right now but i give it 2 years and this thing will be stale. By that time even casuals will be tired of swinging a controller to hit a baseball on screen for only 3 ennings.
