Does anyone else feel that the Wii has been a terrible disappointment?

I agree with you. A while back I would've said that we were growing out of a hobby, but looking at the "best games of recent times", I can't help notice that there's just no improvement in the industry. It's just the same things we've been playing since the N64/PSX days.

Games were better back then, because they were original. And now, with our schedules getting busier by the day, and life becoming harder, we don't have as much time as we used to have for games, so we automatically go for games that we know we'll like. We're afraid to try new stuff, both for this reason, and the fact that games are expensive.

I'm thinking of Mirror's Edge here, a game that was very original, but every review mentioned that it was too short, and that it wasn't worth the price because of that..

I've said this before, but I feel that the 360 is best console this generation for a few reasons. The PS3 still hasn't taken off IMO. And the Wii is probably in full flight, but for the family, not the dedicated gamers themselves, unfortunately..
