I've never owned one, but some of my friends have them. It's awesome for group activities and party games.

The Nintendo Wii is succeeds in everything it sets out to do. It is a fun and exciting video game console for people of all ages perfect for get-togethers. The graphics are nowhere near as impressive as Sony's Playstation 3 or Microsoft's XBOX 360, but it goes without saying that graphics is not why one would even think of purchasing a Wii in the first place. The majority of the games are kid-friendly, and the motion controls get old fairly quickly, but if you have a few friends over, THIS is the perfect system to take out. It will keep everyone entertained for hours.
