Seriously, I might just get back into console gaming. Plus Nintendo has a ton of kid-friendly titles, which would be cool for my daughter and her friends (in small doses).

4 million? Whoa.

So it's confirmed that the controllers have some kind of memory device?

Yes there is a bit of memory in the controller. However, there are memory cards, I think it usues the same kind as the Gamecube.

I have a PS2 I haven't used in a year, but the Wii could really get me hooked again.
