I still don't get the rampant hatred of the Wii and its success. Despite what most people think, A LOT of great games came out on the Wii. I think I've got almost 120 physical games in my Wii collection at this point and that number is even greater if I work in WiiWare stuff.
I think people were quick to dismiss the Wii, which did a great job in pandering to people who loved offbeat, niche games that existed en masse in the generation prior. While everyone else set course to make enormous AAA games (that put them out of business), a bunch of companies made smaller productions on the Wii that were interesting and unique.
If I had to choose, I'd say the Wii was my favorite system of last generation. The hacking scene also made it an interesting place to be, much like the Xbox the generation before that. I suggest that anybody who dismissed the Wii really look into the collection of games there and check out the good stuff while you can get it on the cheap at places like GameStop.
