i would have to agree, it also comes across as a gimmick to me.
yes it's a great console with a unique control system but other than that, it's graphics are sub standard, the games i've played so far (wii play, sports, ssx, mario football, Mario party, big brain academy, a bowling title,) have no lasting appeal, with the exception of tiger woods that while, it's a good game it isnt on par with the 360 or ps3 versions (s'cus the pun).

I dunno, i also find the sensor awkward. i cant just sit on my arse and relax without having to move or reposition it to stop my remote from not registering with the screen.

I just think that it wouldn't have been impossible to put abit more thinking into the actual games like wii sports and play. I think that alough having the Mii's in the actual game is a nice touch, it's pretty lazy.

one last graphic note, Mario party resorted to using Doom 2D, GIF Style turtles and mushrooms for the crowd. I know it's not a major issue, but it made the game look extremely dated.

Final verdict = Last gen console with a bit of next gen polish and a new control system.
