You and others have said that same thing, it's an upgraded GC, that's true, and while many graphic whores will frown upon it, there's nothing wrong with that. Have you seen God of War 2, which is on PS2 still? It looks amazing (kudos to Sony), and if that's possible on PS2, we all know the Wii can do better than PS2, (especially after RE4 on GC) Wii just hasn't been pushed hard in that way yet.
God of War 2, (even though by sony) is testament that good art (I still mean games here) doesn't need a bigger canvas all the time, many don't seem to understand that. Again, it's up to developers to come up with the games and use that Wii tech to their best ability.
Wii being an upgraded GC is what's keeping it nice and cheap to buy, what's keeping miles ahead of PS3 with more new gamers, with cheaper development costs than 360 and PS3. The gauntlet is on the ground for Wii, kudos to those that are brave enough to pick it up. That number will increase in time, since Wii isn't going anywhere.
For more hardcore gamers like myself, this is why I suggest getting a Wii next to your 360 or PS3, if what's on it isnt enough for you.

You've just made some very good points in your last post, but you have failed to answer my previous questions.

Of late Sony have done a list of things wrong, Lik Sang, PS3 high price, sixaxis, no more Yaroze support (poor in this day and age), mod chips to play imports and their stupid 2D gaming stance, PSP and PSX (in japan), not to mention minidisks.
Sure, Nintendo could have released Wii with GC way back, however what contradicts your statement is how and when the Wii became reality at Nintendo (wikipedia might help here), read up on it and you'll understand why Wii wasn't done sooner.
Where the hell have I contradicted myself? I never said that the Wii could of come out 7 years ago, I simply said that the Wiimote could of been launched as an add-on-extra peripheral for the Gamecube. (doesn't have to be at launch you know) It would of been a commercial failure admittedly, due to the relative poor performance of the GC. My argument is that the Wii console is nothing more than a repackaged GG. And that Nintendo are the MASTERS OF REPACKAGING. Which I don't thing they have been scrutinized for.
