Yep, yep and thrice yep. I have a Wii now. I previously had a 360 (read below) but now I have a Wii.
And I have a bunch of games too
I got it all today, hope I don't just get bored with it... but it is just as fun as the DS - and infact, its an exact replica of a DS (except in a console form).
Out of the box, the wii is quality. Superb stuff and gives you a load of things to tinker with from day one. Heck, I still have not exhausted the features..
The web browser is a LITTLE buggy, but it is a thousand times better than the PS3 web browser. And, I reckon that alot of Tv's will end up having a wii remote style pointing device.
A little thought into the future, I reckon in a few years, TV's will have a lan cable/ethernet cable port on the back, and you can watch iptv through it, download movies, watch trailers, browse the net... etc. And I think a pointing device will be eventually implemented..
Anyways -
I am well impressed with the Wii. Especially with WarioWare
What fun that is.
In all, the games I have are -
Resident Evil (wii edition) - i managed to get that one a few days early
Rayman raving rabbids
Sonic secret rings (so much better than the sucky 360 sonic (the ps3 one is a little WORSE than that one too... slow, laggy, skippy two player..)
Madden NFL 07
Tiger Woods
Call Of Duty 3
Warioware
Excite truck
Wii Play
(unfortunately trauma centre is not out here yet... getting that one next week
)
Red Steel
Zelda TP
And thats that
So far I have only tried out wii sports, wario and call of duty 3. But the great thing is - I feel right now that there is lasting power in this console. I tend to ignore claims that this console is apparently "a gimmick" due to the fact that I reckon a console should last you 5 years. Wii will definately last 5 years for sure, and the great thing about it is that the wii remote really does make things more interactive.
Fair enough, the graphics look like a polished up xbox. But the wii remote, in game, lets you forget that completely. Although, I dissliked Call of Duty 3 on the wii - no multiplayer, and the single player campaign is boring when you have completed it on the 360 already.
If you have played fps games on another console, then you will find it hard to play them on the wii. But the controls are awesome for other games.
Warioware has a wonderful graphical style, its mostly all 2d, and when the 3d stuff comes up - it looks fantastic really how its all presented to you.
For me, blasting through wario is alot more fun than looking at high-def grass on call of duty 3 on the 360.
Next gen graphics are good, but they need just as much attention to them as a good control system on the wii.
Think of it this way - a wii game will be a waste if they don't do a good control scheme. And a next gen game will be a waste if the graphics are not executed well (like if its all high-def, but the smoke, animations etc look crap).

tee hee... wiing 
I have even MORE games now - Kororinpa (its ok, but you figure out how it works after 20 mins and start cheating, like tilting an entire level upside-down, and landing the ball right at the end).
Harry Potter (I was fooled with the opening FMV, I thought that was in-game graphics). The wii graphics are not THAT bad, cut-scenes are a bit too frequent - and I am a bit tired of the old "ps2 treatment" that wii games get.
More spells would of been nice, and accurate wand movements like the story suggests. (more on that in another blog!).
Supermonkey Ball Banana Blitz (got this one for the minigames really).
It is a bit annoying that after every set of stages, you have to sit though a credit sequence... whilst you can move a monkey about, its still annoying to wait so long (about 5 mins per set of levels).
Rayman Raving Rabbids (fun! Some games a a bit tough like the one with the bunnies in the toilets!).
Big Brain Academy - if you have this for DS, its kinda OK to play it on the big screen, but I like the way the DS is built for this stuff. Quickly turn it on, no loading, and play away.
With the wii version (its only £20 aswell, nice) its the same as DS but with some new rounds - but things are drawn out a bit longer.
It would of been nice to of had more wii stuff, like not having to read through text that the main man has to say, it would of been good for him to SAY it.
And the wii remote is a bit tinny for my liking for speech...
