Wii Sports

Personally, I think the game looks brilliant.
Well... when I say "looks", I mean the term lightly. To be honest it looks awful. Smooth textures, bright, fairly nice eye-candy: But awful. It like a Nintendo DS tech demo seriously.
But that's not what this game is about... It's gameplay over graphics and by the sounds of things playing = believing.
The premise is simple. Wii Sports is a game with lots of packaged sports games all piled in. The announced ones so far are Tennis, Baseball and Golf although more have come and there was an Aeroplane demo in the same area it was playable. These basic games aren't controlled by buttons, though. Oh-no. These games are controlled only by the Wii motion-sensing controller.
For Tennis, you have to swing the "Wii-mote" like you would in tennis racket; for Golf, you have to putt or swing the "Wii-mote" like you would swing a golf stick; for Baseball you have to smash the ball with the club with the "Wii-mote" or motion throwing the ball with the "Wii-mote". It's so simple, yet so natural and realistic and fluid to play.
Anyway, I've done describing, I'm now interested in what you think about the idea. Do you think it's stupid and they should have concentrated on graphics or do you think that this is the best idea ever and you want to run out get a Wii and Wii Sports right now!
This is all your opinion... So good luck choosing it. And don't forget to post here!
An example of how the control input works.
