Why Nintendo Wii might be annoying:

    Nobody seems to fully understand its weird name, even Nintendo executives.
    It looks like a very old floppy disc drive.
    Compared to its contemporaries, the games have the worst graphics.
    Though it is the cheapest console there are many hidden costs. Example: the controllers are sold in parts and as a result are extremely expensive.
    Many feel the outstanding feature of the console (its controllers) is just a cheap gimmick.
    The controllers are battery vampires.
    The controllers have a strap that has been known to break easily, sending the controller into television sets.
    Nintendo recalled 3.2 million controller straps that proved to be faulty.
    Their 'Virtual Console' (where you can buy and download old games to play) is years too late because of the easy access to free (albeit illegal) software emulators via the internet.

Why Nintendo Wii might not be annoying:

    It is the first Nintendo console since Super Nintendo to come with a free game.
    It is the first backwards compatible Nintendo console (it plays GameCube discs).
    It takes advantage of the natural urge to move a controller while playing a game.
    Steven Colbert beat the crap out of Nancy Pelosi while playing 'Wii Boxing.'
    It is extremely small and easy to store.
    On an episode of South Park, Cartman froze himself to avoid waiting 2 weeks for the Wii to come out.
