Lets see; not HD, no REAL 3rd party support, more than half of the games are shovelware, the motion controls ruin most games, no standard gamepad option (VC and gamecube controllers were exceptions, not norms), stupid name, it's hardware and architecture was almost identical to the PS2 (a console from the previous generation), it's the reason Microsoft pushed the kinect so much, Nintendo didn't care about "the gamer" at all with how they marketed it, online was terrible, the only decent games on it were nintendo first party and guitar hero (and that's being generous), Netflix was like the ONLY media app available, no DVD or Blu-Ray playback (my PS3 is my primary movie watching device), the controls were unresponsive and laggy in many situations, and was the most OVERRATED console of the generation. And that is why "the Wii is so 'underrated.'"

So I saw this post on 9gag and I felt compelled explain why. This is the comment I left.
