So it annoys me when people say things like 'the Wii is a great system!' because it's really not
But it is a great system. It's not a high-end graphical powerhouse, but the games are fun and are attracting new gamers in droves.
The problem in your statement is that "great" is too subjective a term; just because the Wii doesn't meet your personal requirements for a console, doesn't mean it doesn't excellently execute its intended purpose. The people who are saying the Wii is a great console are reflecting their experience with it.
Just 'cause I'm tone-deaf, doesn't mean that Beethoven's Ninth (or _Stairway to Heaven_, for that matter) isn't great music. Just means I don't give a crap. :)
