Chacy, I've gotta say that I woleheartily disagree with your review of Wii Sports.
Well, let me qualify that. I don't care for the game at all as a single player. For that, 3/10 would be about right I think as it's just pretty boring. But as far as multiplayer goes? It's perhaps the best party game ever made. Bowling and Tennis are fantastic, golf, baseball, and bowling are obviously less than stellar, but can still be fun.
Now if you have no one else to play with because they're not interested or not around, that could seriously but a damper on your outlook on the game. Part of the charm of Wii Sports to me is the thing that your aveage too-cool CAG member hates is that it does get non-gamers playing. I love that I've played Tennis against my Dad and Grandma and that my inlaws have played my wife and I in bowling. It adds a novelty to the experience that I've seen no other game capture.
Maybe that's it. As a video game, Wii Sports isn't necessarily the most fantastic thing on the planet. But it really melds into something more when a group of people come together. It borrows from people's love of board games, chatting, ribbing on each other, and just otherwise desireing to have fun as a family or a group of friends and enhances that.
That sounds way too gay and esoteric to be taken even remotely seriously. But, long story short, because your opinion is different than mine, you obviously have no friends, no family, and probably no electricty. That is all.
