Doesn't play DVDs
No HD output
Graphics cant compete with the Xbox 360 and PS3
Games still expensive
Opera browser not included as standard
Needs Flash upgrade
Media functions could be better

Some disappointing titles
Basic
Standard-def graphics. No multiplayer online gaming. Not all games suit the format. No DVD playback.
Low battery life for GamePad
GamePad range potentially very limited
Basic edition's memory is meagre
No cross-game chat
Controller eats batteries and takes some time to get used to
Lacks the advanced hi-def graphics and surround sound found on the Xbox 360 and the PS3
Requires a wired receiver unit placed near the TV to interface with wireless controllers
Abstract: To put it simply, the Wii is a revolution in video game control and design. The Wiimote and Nunchuk will take a while to get used to if you were raised on a steady diet of D-pad controllers, but getting past the learning curve is quick and worth the effor...

Those looking for HD graphics and Blu-ray capabilities should wait for the PS3. But we think the Nintendo Wii, a fun console with a refreshingly different controller, will have a wide appeal – especially among casual gamers. Danny Allen and Robin Mo...
