And controls. Zelda's biggest problem was difficulty. Nintendo's insistence on making every game "accessible" to everyone made it way too easy. Every boss was a variation of 3 hits to kill.
Metroid....the controls were just plain uncomfortable and not very fun to use. A joystick or mouse just works so much better than the Wii controller. Perhaps done properly an FPS with Metroid's style of controls would have made me happy...but the implementation was lacking.
The other games I got, Punch Out, and a couple others just failed to hold my interest for longer than a couple hours.
I'm a bit of a finnicky gamer as it is, so it takes a good story and proper controls to keep my attention (Assassin's Creed, Demon's Souls, Bioshock, and a couple others stand out), so the lack of a great and not gimmicky control system as well as high quality games just lost me with the Wii. I think the Wii has the potential to be an excellent gaming system, but every game I have played has failed to follow through on its promise.
The closest to succeeding was Zelda, but eventually the low level of difficulty just wore thin and lost me.

I concur. For two to six months, it can be THE family get together toy of all time.

I don't run into annoying kids nearly enough for it to be an issue.

*shrug* I generally play Live with my friends, which makes ignoring/mocking people easier.

It might be my fault if I didn't frequent gaming and technology sites four times a day.

Sales to date are not a direct indicator of widespread knowledge of an exact release date.
