A homerun!

Nintendo hit a homerun with the Wii system. While all of the other companies were gearing towards the serious gamers, Nintendo realized there is a very large market for more casual players and families that don't have several hours to spend to just figure out how to play a single game. To top that off, Nintendo developed the motion sensing system that has now made millions get of their couch-potato butts and get active while still playing video games. This is truly an ingenious system, the controls are relatively accurate and can sense longer or faster movements with the controllers. This is important with some of the sports (golf) or fighting games.
While there are a number of titles geared toward adult players, with more complex games or more mature oriented content, they continue to develop fun, easy games for the family players to play together. What's that?? Play games with your family? And you thought that was a lost cause!
Games like Mario Kart Wii, Wii Sports, Carnival, etc, etc, are all fun to play together as a family.
On top of all of this, the price tag of the Wii system continues to be very attractive when compared to the other popular systems out there, even after they have been slashing their prices.
Finally, I have found that the kids really like creating the Mii characters for the family, friends, or just making some really odd looking ones that show up in the games when they play.
If you have a family, make sure you pick up a Wii!! While you are at it, pick up an extra controller and nunchuck. The Wii Play is an inexpensive way to add another controller AND game when you first start out.
