Bowling sure was a hit with my family too, although I'm pretty rubbish at it!
Tennis is a nice and simple "opener" for those new to the Wii, and it's also quite competitive.
Golf is probably my personal fave; it's laid back, very accurate and is surprisingly detailed (with the wind speed and such).
But the real king with my family has to be the boxing. The way it tracks both your hands left everyone in awe, and before long we had all broken a sweat from the intense punching and dodging involved.
Incidently, boxing also led to our first Wii-related casualty: an unfortunate necklace that got caught up in a particularly violent left hook.
I'm just going to get the HD-DVD attachment for my Xbox and a PS3 next year (whenever its released), and... that's it; I'm set for whatever format wins, and the worst case scenario is that I've only lost the cost of the HD-DVD drive.
Don't complain, Americans: we do have to pay that European premium after all.
Instead of moaning about how we get something you don't, you could give us a congratulations, even if it is a lame, lame consolation for the stupid prices we have to pay. :)
