Power:

Power really is where the Wii does lack some. Nintendo did not put a whole lot of focus on a strong CPU, but it does run at 700 MHz. Still small compared to it's comptetitors, but it still can provide a nex-gen experience.

Graphics:

Like power, the Wii does not have the best graphics of this generation. However, the Wii has shown that the graphics are up to snuff and with a resolution of 480p, graphics for the Wii are not dissapointing.

Features:

The Wii has quite a collection of features with room to grow. Unfortunatly for people who do not have internet in their home most of the Wii's features will not be available. The Wii starts off on a menu screen with different channels to choose from. This is where you can access the Disc Channel, Mii Channel, Photo Channel, etc. The Wii is also backwards compatible meaning it can play Gamecube games, hold up to 4 Gamecube controllers, and hold up to 2 Gamecube memory cards along with a media card reader to boot. As far as memory is concerned it has 512 MB's of FlashRam.

Online:

The Wii is Nintendo's first online system and it's no disapointment. Games that are online for Wii have proved to have a very fast connection making a smoother more enjoyable online gaming experience.

Quality:

This is where the Wii shines. Even at launch (the most unstable time of a systems life) there was only a .5% chance of a Wii crashing prematurely. The Wii is sure to hold up for you, unless of course you are just a very unlucky person.

Price:

For all that you get with the Wii $250 isn't bad at all. Not as powerful, but a great gameplay experience unlike any other with great quality.

Controller:

The Wii shines in it's controller, or should I say remote, as well as it does quality. The Wii remote and Nunchuck both function using Bluetooth technology by communictaing with a sensor bar thats either above or below your TV. This controller layout is very unique. The remote can point, vibrate, shake, and even create sound using a small built-in speaker. The Nunchuck connects to the bottom of the Wii remote and is normally used for character movement. You can also buy a classic controller to use for older games you download off the Wii Shop Channel.
