Great feedback
But regarding your points
#1 DVD player should have been part of the system - it is a DVD player and reads DVD media. A HB app should not have been needed for this. But homebrew came through and added a missing piece to the Wii
#2 All of those emulators run on low end-pc's without problem. A Wii to play these is a cool trick - Wii 64 pushes the Wii a little too hard (50% speed) but they could optimize code and make it run faster.. but you might not see any advanced emualtors. Possibly MAME but probably certain 80's games or older. I dunno. Again Homebrew adds fun to the Wii
#3 PS3/360/Wii have internet capability. I am not sure if PS3 has wireless. Xbox does but it is a seperate purchase. But you can use a cable and plus into a computer that has wireless and tap off of that. So Wii has wireless G built in - nice but I could say my 360 has Wireless N as it is tapping off my computer. I could buy a wireless adapter for it but I would get reduce performance. Internet on Wii isnt really a selling point.
#4 Wii is not 100% disaster...there is something that appeals to someone on there. Using my stats above - Out of 100 games, I will find 90 of them that will not keep my attention
#5 Homebrew on Wii is great - I agree. It helps the system out soooo much. But purchasing a Wii for homebrew to change screens or colors or healthscreens or adding missing features or emulators or ... is somethigng someone needs to be prepared for, not something that is found and used for salvation.
*Did that make sense?
#6 Embedding a Wii in a PC would be a cool trick but outside of hiding it, the issues still remain
Good chat!.... thanks
