Stephen Lindsay hit the nail right on the head, why is it so popular when it's catalogue is so severely limited?
My theories on this are
a) The price, parents can get one for their kid to keep them happy without remortgaging the house
b) The ladies like it! A couple/family are much more likely to get a console in the front room if both partners want it.
My g/f actually bought me a Wii for christmas and the only 2 games I really played were Zelda and Resident Evil (both now sold though). I'll probably get that keep fit thing when it's released but other than that, I'll just rent games from Lovefilm.
I got a PS3 yesterday and it's features far outweight the Wii (if you have a HD TV). The cost actually narrows when you take into consideration the PS3 plays Blu-ray (and DVDs). The cost would actually be about the same if I was to get a £130 internal Blu-Ray for my media centre PC and the same sort of deal with the Wii as I did for the PS3 (3 movies, 2 games, extra controller and HDMI cable)!
