I'm a pretty pumped about this actually considering I've been pretty hardcore into the Xbox and the 360. The virtual console games and pricing is attractive, and I think they innovative controller could be a hit. I'm a little dissappointed by the price; I thought it was going to be $200. Am I justified in owning two next gen systems?

Oh ya, I think the name "Wii" is genius. I was unsure at first, but I see the light now with their naming convention (ie. Mii). What else will they use it for? Tii, Bii, Fii?
