It's a surprisingly fun system to have, but I certainly wouldn't want to have it be my sole console. Much like every other Nintendo released since the SNES, the first party titles are outstanding while everything else is entirely forgetable.
Personally I think it's worth the purchase price just to play Mario titles, and the sports games for it are just the icing on the cake. I wasn't expecting to like WiiSports, but I do drag it out when there are people over and everyone loves it.
As far as Resident Evil goes, you'd be surprised how much fun it is on there. I had it on GC as well, and this version is far superior. Not only does the new control scheme really add another level of immersion to the title, it makes the game more intuitive and easier to play. For example, you can just slash the Wiimote in front of you to use the knife attack, and then instantly return to shooting; It works great. The game itself also looks and sounds a good deal better as well. I never had any of the proper cabling/adaptors to hook my GC up in progScan (480p) and Dolby Pro-Logic 2 sound, so it is a huge step up for me.
RE:Umbrella chronicles is a lot of fun too and my wife absolutely loves it.
As far as availablity goes, I couldn't argue there; I tried for months after release to get one and eventually ended up having to sit outside a Circuit City on a shipment day for a couple of hours before it opened to get one.
I wouldn't trade my 360 for it, but it's a great console. It has a really wide appeal, lots of innovative titles and amazing backwards compatability.
