I felt the Wii had a better launch in that there were several games for it that I wanted so I bought one day 1 at the time.
And I think Jeff doesn't like the console all that much. Haha.
The Wii had Twilight Princess, which at the time was more then enough reason to buy one. Wii Sports ended up being the most played game in my house, closely followed by Smooth Moves a month later. Playing Wario Ware with 12 people and drinks was simply amazing.
Thus far, it looks like those party games in Nintendoland look like they could be fun.... but that's about it. I can wait to play another Mario sidescroller.
