No high-def
Poor graphics. Cant back up saved games. Doesnt play DVDs.
The controllers take a bit of getting used to and for those of us with big hands would benefit from wider spacing between buttons as unintentional presses at key moments can be more than a little annoying. While the Wii doesn't play DVD's
Something which would cement it into the living room experience
The expandability through Wii Channels and possible future accessories counteract these short
