Wii...Game System

I finally was able to get my hands on a "USED" Wii System for my 8 year old stepson. I know the target audience from what I have seen is for the younger group. I found the controllers to be ultra sensitive and annoying as HELL! The graphics are definitely old school, the gameplay is okay. We've rented Excite Truck racing, Sonic Rings and he is playing the Pokemon Battle Revolution. One cool thing that I liked was he was able to upload his Diamond/Pearl Pokemon into the Wii to play on the Pokemon Battle Revolution game. I also see him not using the Wii game system all that much. He much rather use his playstation 2 or my Xbox 360!

I know millions of people like the Wii but is it just a GIMMICK SYSTEM? I guess time will tell. I know everytime we go into a store they are always sold out of the Wii System. To me, it is priced right at a mere $249.00. Though I think the game prices are too expensive considering what it offers in terms of graphics and gameplay.
