The Wii is a poorly made console, in my opinion. The hardware standards are previous generation, and the fact that it has a wiggle waggle controller is no way to make up for it. 99% of the games are sub-standard, and the whole "appealing to casual audiences" thing is getting on my nerves. The face that it doesn't have any strong fps or "hardcore" games is fine, what makes me angry is that Nintendo has no regard for it's fan's requests. Hey, Super Mario Galaxy was a great game, and it sold well. Should we give them a sequel or another great Mario platformer? No! Let's release Wii Music, a game with such little thought put into it it makes me mad it's that it's one of the top selling games right now.
And don't get me started on the Wii's whole online capabilities.
I wasted my money on the Wii craze. I should have saved my $250 for something better.

I'll say I'm dissapointed, but...I don't hate the little guy. He gave me some fun, got me to workout a bit, and taught me how to drive *sarcasm*. Seriously though, when I have a bunch of friends over, nothings funnier(or more fun) than playing some Mario Kart, Mario Party, or Warioware.
I find it hard to say that I hate it, but It's only just recently dawned on me how much of a dissapointment it has been for me.
I preordered mine and picked it up on the launch day and have only bought five games for it in what is about 2 years (2 of which were both Guitar Hero). I'm also not much of a graphics fiend, but after coming home from a mates house who has GH on his 360, It's a little disheartening to come home to PS2 graphics.

paper mario, mario galaxy, twilight princess, smash bros.,and mario kart. those are the games worth having. everything else should be in the discount bin. so yeah wii sucks 5 good games does not make a console good
No I most certainly do not hate it, because that would imply I have strong feelings about it. I dont, because the Wii is not even worthy of strong feelings of dislike. In fact, with some amount of pleading in my voice, I recently suggested my elder sister take the shovelware gimmick off our hands for a few months to at least give it some use. It hasnt been used in months, and when it was last used, it was only for a week on Wii Fit before I became bored with it, which I masterfully guessed I would after a week of "fitness".
The ironic thing is, Im the only "hardcore gamer" in our house, yet my whole family feels this way, so that shows it can also be viewed as a gimmick by casual gamers too. Thats exactly how my brother feels about it for example, and he only ever plays football manager once in a blue moon. The Wii has about as much long term entertainment value in our household as a tamagotchi.
My Xbox 360 on the other hand - the most shoddily made monstrosity of a bullshit console I have ever come across has both my love and hatred. Its a noisy, faulty piece of shit that has many fantastic titles to its name and a great and accessible online service. The 360 is the console that takes up all of my strong feelings, both positive and negative.

I hate it when the Wiimote glitches and I have to waves it around in the air to make sure it's good.
I LUV my Wii, I don't care what people keep saying about how it's only for kids and old people. There are, in fact, games for gamers and a good majority of them are fun; and there's is NO shame in liking the Nintendo games (Mario Galaxy, Brawl, Twilight Princess, etc.) you shouldn't really and even if you are you have some third party games that are good (MadWorld, No More Heroes, Rayman, and that isn't even including the stuff on Wiiware).
