I am amazed at how intuitive everything is, although I feel that sometimes the controller is misinterpreting what I am trying to do in Wii Sports. I haven't had a chance to play any other games yet, but the system is really nice and I love the change from a typical controller system to something completely new. I can't wait to see what kind of games developers come up with for the Wii, because it seems like a really nice platform.

That the Segway and the Wii are easy to learn and intuitive to use is a sign of the quality of the engineering and design that went into them.

Those were good times. We'll win next time.

I agree with you on the controller not correctly interpreting what I want to do. That could also be because we're not used to it yet. I'm sure it'll come naturally over time.
