I think the wii is all about group interaction rather than the sole gamer. It has been very popular in the family and amongst my Sons student friends - they can compete against each other and everyone can watch and they get off their backsides to participate, so basic graphics yes, but for fun with your friends, and family and accessibility for younger players - fantastic.

[The wii is often transported amongst houses for fun at parties (where someone doesn't have one already) - that says a lot]
