I still love my Wii, but I am afraid that it might be seen and treated as a gimmick, and I think Nintendo is really buying into this as well.  I see far too many mini-game type games and not enough big, immersive Zelda and Mario type games.  It's hard to blame Nintendo, because they're making what's selling, but I wish they would cater a little more to gamers and not just the "outside demographic."  I love the games I have for my Wii, and I have no intention or desire or interest to pick up a 360 or a PS3.  I'm just afraid Nintendo might be going a bit overboard when the Wii has proven itself capable of improving upon traditional games as well.

Also, I just got my Wii hooked up to the Internet for the first time in months and celebrated by downloading Rockman 9!  Amazing!  I loved it!  But apparently it has additional downloadable content.  Does that cost money too?  I haven't checked yet, but if it does, I'm sorely disappointed.  When I download a game, I expect to get everything, especially when it cost $10 for a download!  I shouldn't be expected to shell out more money for additional content.  That's ridiculous!
