Got a Wii! (Well, technically my housemate has) - Been playing Wii Bowling, Wii Boxing and a few hours of Zelda.
It's remarkable the reaction that non-console gamers/non-gamers (He's a PC gamer, normally) have with the Wii. He fell in love with it almost immediately and really enjoyed Bowling and Boxing, and although Zelda caused some complaint (specifically the annoying cat-fishing rod bit at the beginning), he's utterly delighted with it.
We'll be living on Porridge and Bananas for a while as a result of buying it, but we're both happy as pigeon with it.
...Now all I need is a telly that doesn't have screwy geometry...
Yeah, well, it's just a bit too abstract a puzzle for so early in the game, and like you say, the controls feel a bit weird. It takes a good few hours before you even begin to master Zelda's mechanics, and it's a bit savage of Ninty to throw in the fishing so early as something that's needed to continue the story.

Not even Wii Sports? Tell me online Tennis wouldnt be hysterical?
I'm sure it would be plenty of fun, but using a friend code every now and then is not exactly what I'd consider a major hassle, since there are very few people I usually play online with.

I'm rather tempted by that one. I almost bought it on the PSP, but then I heard a Wii version was in the works, so I waited. I'm glad I did! This game is just asking for a tilting.

Wii According to the latest info from VGChartz the Wii has passed the seven-million-sold mark, slowly but surely closing the gap between it and the 360, which to date has sold about 9.7 million.
What's interesting, but not terribly surprising, is how the sales break down geographically. The vast majority of 360 sales (6.17 million) come from the U.S., with just a tiny fraction (.39 million) coming from Japan. When it comes to the Wii, it's far more even: 2.46 million from Japan, 2.84 million from the U.S.
