Heres a few of my OPINIONS
The Wii:
-Is limited in graphical prowess, and while its not the most important part of gaming, it is still important in the age of HD.
-Has extremely limited online because Nintendo was so late to the party on this one. Honestly, which is easier, a friend code that is 16 digits long or a name that means something to the owner? Yes, it has all those channels, but I'd rather be able to easily play against my friends who are at different schools rather than compare weather trends. No voice chat (yet), not enough games with online capabilities,... All of these are problems that Nintendo needs to fix.
-The amount of shovelware on this system is ridiculous. Now, I know Nintendo doesn't make these games, because a veteran company like that would never do that. But, they have yet to regulate the amount of shovel ware games on the system. If I go into a game store, I see part of a wall of games for the Wii, but when I look closer, I feel like the majority are based around mini-games. Mini-games are fun, but in small quantities.
-Lack of multi-platform titles, and the multi-platform games the Wii does get are usually worse because of either graphical limitations or the motion sensing controls make it feel weird.
While the Wii is still by definition a gaming console, there are a lot of things that Nintendo should deal with if it wants the Wii to be considered, for lack of a better word, a "hardcore" (someone help me with this cuz this isnt exactly what I mean and I don't want to offend people) system. But honestly, I don't think Nintendo cares much because they are raking in millions upon millions of dollars on the Wii.
