I can easily say I regret getting my Wii. I've been happy with all the consoles I owned, honestly, EXCEPT the Wii. I mean, when I first got it, I was definitely disappointed. Everything about it is just all wrong. The "blockbuster" games it has can't even defend it- I owned a good portion of them and they are all just decent. Brawl was overhyped, Mario Galaxy bored me to death, Mario Kart Wii is unbalanced and requires no skill at all, ETC. Don't forget it has sub-par graphics, incredibly horrendous motion controls that do not enhance gameplay at all, and the stupid, stupid friend codes. There are no real noteworthy "WiiWare" games and the VC is admittingly kind of a nice thing but it's like what Kyasarin said. You can get ALL of the VC's games for free on your PC. Even if it is illegal.
As overhyped as Brawl was, it's not all bad and It's still kinda fun. That would have been a FANTASTIC time to introduce downloadable content. I mean, a year ago I would have totally forked over a buck or two for a new character, or even six bucks for a pack of stages. But no. I'm not a hater, I enjoyed the DS and N64 and GC, but Nintendo is just acting like a bunch of dumb fucks with the Wii. WHY isn't there downloadable content? Nintendo could be making even MORE money from downloadable content. Games like Brawl, Mario Kart Wii etc would have been perfect tests for dlc. Even Mario Galaxy, where you can buy new planets or something.
But there IS demos. Seriously. There's the Nintendo Channel where you can download those demos to your DS and watch videos, but I doubt anyone looks at that.
And when I got my PS3 last christmas, I just realized how even WORSE the Wii is. It's a poor man's console. You're wasting money on it, and that can be saved on getting yourself the good consoles: A 360 or PS3, though I prefer the latter. I don't even reccomend it to the casual audience. There's nothing for them on it except Wii Sports and Wii Fit.
tl;dr wii is worst console ever
