Strengths: Easy to setup and use. Nice family fun.
Weaknesses: Batteries go fast in remote replace often. Best to get rechargables.
Summary: Gaming system is fun for the entire family. Easy to setup and use. Comes with a set of sports games which are quite entertaining. Extra remote is desired for two player games. Sharing a remote is a little bothersome with the wrist straps.

Strengths: Interactive gameplay is unrivaled by other consoles.
Weaknesses: Graphics output tops out at 480p, if you by component cables. Well short of the 1080i that is output by other platforms.
Summary: So far, so good. This makes you the coolest kid on your block. Everyone of all ages and of gaming ability has fun with this console. Online play and the ability to download old NES games (for a price) is pretty sweet.

Strengths: great for kids and entertaining a group
Weaknesses: a little harder for the "older", not so computer literate folks. It's been out for a long time, although hard to get, the thrill of having it is gone.
Summary: Wii has been so hard to find I was tickeled when I did find it finally. However, I guess it took me too long, because it seems now that the family isn't as excited about it and would rather sell it and purchase something else. I think we've used it too many times at others homes and the thrill is gone.

Strengths: Very realistic play.
Weaknesses: Graphics not quite as good as XBox360 or PS3.
Summary: What a hit with everyone! Good family entertainment. Bowling is realistic. Golf - strokes are a bit touchy but easily mastered with practice and patience. Boxing is strenous but great fun.

Strengths: Product is very good at handling the remote interface.
Weaknesses: Cooling system design for setting up the Wii in the vertical position is poor. Need to add a cooling fan to ensure that the unit does not overheat!!!!
Summary: Console works very well and handles the interactive interface with remotes quite well. No problems to date and suggest you purchase remote charging battery packs so you won't wonder what's happening in the middle of a game when the batteries go weak.

Strengths: NONE
Weaknesses: will not work
Summary: purchased the WII, hooked it up all we got was feedback from the TV. Called Nintendo Support, they walked us thru the set up on 2 separate TV,s they said it must be bad unit. Contacted seller, he says we must pay for shipping back then they will decide what to do. This was a Christmas gift, now I wont know probably until after Christmas.
