Nintendo Wii
I am an old school gamer.
I have been gaming for over 20 years (but still find myself relateively well balanced and not living in my parent's basement). I also worked at a videogame store for 6-7 years. I think the Nintendo Wii is the biggest and best innovation since the leap from Atari to NES or from the 16-bit era to the 32/64-bit era.
You create characters on the system who are available in some of the games to play as (so duh, you make yourself. I also have a nice "The Dude" and "The Jesus" from Big Lewbowski). The controller is fun and brings in others who might feel overwhelmed by other controllers.
Its fun. Its great. Games are cheap(er, than the competetors) and so is the system.
If you wrote off Nintendo years ago, you should look them back up. This is a winner, no question.
