Hmm looks in sitting room - there is a Wii fit board under a Revell Breguet Atlantic and a copy of Mario Carts sitting on top of the PS2 games.

I never play on the Wiii I like the PS3 with Assassins Creed and Rachet & Clank, might get GT5 Prologue but no Nurburgring >:( :(

I think Nintendo have found a massive market with adults, who mostly are not interested in the gay crap released by Sony/Microsoft.

It is OK but I like the occasional normal computer game, it seems the more powerful the console the easier the game

I disagree - the more powerful consoles get bogged down with games that high highly developed visuals at the expense of gameplay.

I still think the older 8 bit and 16 bit consoles have far superior games to XB360/PS3

not only that but it bridges the gap so adults and kids can play the same games.....

and there is a physical element to it, after an hour o Wi sports you know you been doing something :y

Back in the SNES Megadrive era I struggled more, the newer consoles the games were easier to get through and more fun - PS2 Dreamcast, and the trend seems to continue.

For exercise I prefer to walk or cycle.

As to Wii sports - it doesn't seem to matter what you do the console seems to decides what happens

Again, disagree.  SNES etc, anyone could pick up a controller, play, for eg Super Mario World, for 10 mins, and enjoy themselves.  Later consoles, particularly PS (followed by PS2/XB/PS3), made games inaccessible, having to invest significant time, unsociably, to get into it.  Wii seems to have returned to that 1980s/early 90s 'fun' that consoles had.

As for Wii controllers, mine works fine....
