I feel like this product deserves a review from the perspective as a toy and from the perspective as a video game console.
From the perspective of a toy, this system gets a four out of five. It has plenty of mindless fun good for short bursts of play. A lot of my friends and family are intrigued by the Wii and always claim to love it, but they never last very long as its like a toy that has lost its luster after a few plays. However, its can definitely provide family fun for short play periods. I subtracted a star for the Wii remote being so inaccurate to use.
From the perspective of a game system, this system gets a 2 out of five. It is absolutely terrible. There is hardly any storage for downloadable games, it is not HD, it does not have good graphics, the motion controls do not work all the time, and its doesn't have any new games. They are all rehashes (Mario, Super Smash Brothers, Mario Kart . . . all good, but nothing new). I gave it two star for just how much I have enjoyed Super Smash Brothers Brawl and Tanks on Wii Play (and a few other random fun moments . . . some people like Mario Sunshine Too).
Well, I take the average of those two scores and I get a three out of five. Personally, I am glad I didn't purchase the console, but I am glad my room mate has it for when I want to try something out.
For now, I will continue to enjoy my PS3 and 360 (which absolutely destroy the Wii in the realm of gaming, but don't hold a candle to the Wii's ability to get friends and family playing together.)

I was against buying this thinking that we would never use it. How wrong I was! Even our three year old has been able to play with the bowling, tennis and boxing. Since purchasing this, we also purchased the Wii Fit. Very fun and motivational. I try to use it every day.

Wow. Nintendo has finally come up with a gaming console that can be appreciated by both genders and all ages. From middle schoolers to senior citizens, everyone can find something to love about Wii.
Although most people will want to buy accessories such as extra controllers and new games, the Wii is great to play right out of the box. The basic console comes with Wii Sports game (a selection of sports -- tennis, baseball, golf, and bowling) with its various skill levels and challenges; a wireless hand controller with wrist strap; a nunchuk controller; batteries; a wireless receiver, and the necessary cables to hook it up. Most gamers will want, at a minimum, an extra handset and possibly the charger with rechargeable batteries. Because Wii Sports has so much included within the single game disk, extra games, while great to add, won't be necessary at first.
For set-up, you'll need a space on top of your television for the slender, 9 1/2 inch long wireless bar that will pick up the movements and input from the remote controller. You'll also need LOTS of room for arm swinging and back and forth movement (which will be unintentional, especially if you're used to playing the sports in real life.) Don't underestimate the warnings! Inevitably, someone playing Wii will cream a hand or knock the dog out or hit someone else in the nose. Make sure the playing area is free of all obstacles and that everyone not playing knows to steer clear. Even people who exercise regularly run the risk of tennis elbow and/or sore muscles.
An extra note about Wii Sports since the game is a large part of a gamer's introduction to the medium: the really cool part of the interface is the way the Wii senses and translates movement. You can hook a bowling bowl and put slice on a tennis ball, all with the specific movements you use. The game has a training area that goes beyond the mere tutorial and into actual methods of doing the sports. You can also test for your "Wii Fitness Age" once a day.
Although the Wii is difficult to come by at this writing, I suspect it will become more available a month or two after the holidays. Definitely pick one up. You won't regret it.

Being of the older generation, I experienced the Wii for the first time in my life at my grandchildrens home. I assure you, it was quite a challenge to get off of my bum and try to keep up with the kids while playing this game.
The very next day, my arm was so sore that I could barely raise it. I enjoyed the game and the "family time" that the Wii gave us. I held my grandchildrens attention and there was a lot of laughter as they laughed at their "Nana" in action.
I know some of you do not like the graphics of the Wii. I agree, it could be a little better - but, I absolutely love this game. I will also buy one for my home so that I can stay in fit without overdoing it.

Most of you have heard about the crazies waiting in line for days to get the PS3 or the Wii or the hundreds to thousands of dollars people are spending on eBay for something they can easily get in 6 months without the line hastles. But what you are looking at right now is the Wii. Now, I'm sure you've seen the Wii as the number one video on YouTube being smashed to bits by a sledgehammer, but you don't really see how great the system is.
PROS:
-The Controller - The controller is amazing. With very fluid motion, great responde, and full usage in every game, this truly is innovation in the making. Not only does it feature minimal buttons, is wireless, reasonable priced, it also has a speaker on it to get the full surround effect; it even rumbles.
-The Size - This device is not another box to put on your shelf, this thing is tiny. When first shown at E3, people were in awe; and Nintendo one-uped and said that the final one is smaller. I wasn't at E3, but I can tell you, this thing is SMALL. It is about the size of a Tom Clancy hardback, and probably lighter. The controller is also very light.
-Backwards Compatibility - This thing is very backwards compatible. It accepts both the Wii disks and the Gamecubes in a very clean slot loading drive, very Apple-esque if you ask me. Games on both versions load very quickly, and give you the amazing experience. It would have been awesome if Nintendo made the Nunchuk, but I'm happy using the classic controller.
-Wireless Options - Not only does the Wii have bluetooth (controllers) but it also has Wi-Fi, and connects very easily. This is excellent, especially with the Nintendo DS' wireless options.
-Nintendo Arcade - This is probably Nintendo's biggest advantage over Sony, and even Microsoft. As show with how many people got into the Xbox Live Arcade after the Wii's announcement, this is something to reward Nintendo about. You will, over time at least, be able to play every Super Nintendo, NES, Genesis, Nintendo 64, or Turbografix-16 in full. All games at reasonable prices, new and old games can enjoy the experience. This also gives many of the American Wii owners chances to play games that have never been released on this side of the Pacific.
-Design - BEAUTIFUL. With more colors on the way, slot loading drive, and a beautiful finish, this is the best looking out of the three systems by far.
-Price - VERY competitvely priced. You can buy two Wii's, Zelda, a Classic Controller, and a couple of Arcade games for the price of one PS3. At $249, this is the same price as a 30GB iPod, and cheaper than a Razr cell phone.
CONS:
-No HD - It runs at standard 480p, but doesn't run up to 1080's like it's rivals. Nintendo is more about the experience than the graphical appeal, which is why it is considered the weakest. Nintendo has claimed that it can run the Unreal 3.0 engine, but that's something we'll have to wait and see. The graphics look about on par, if not a little better than the original Xbox, but if graphics aren't all you're concerned about, than you'll have a blast.
-No Blu-Ray, HD-DVD, DVD, or CD compatibility - This is not a media device; this is PURE gaming. Nintendo hasn't announced anything, but don't be suprised if extra accessories are on the way.
BOTTOM LINE: This is what Next Generation Gaming is all about. If you are looking for something NEW instead of an improvement on the old formula, than the Wii is your system!

The basic Wii sports games are fun for the beginner and especially for a couple who likes a little competition. It's an excuse to do something active rather then sitting in front of the TV like a pair of drones. Although there many helpful tips on the internet about the games, it would have been helpful to list the basic functions of the remote controller affecting each game. For instance, I still havent figured out how an inside slider configured on the controller becomes a fast ball right down the middle of the plate for a home run.

I think this is the best family game console on the market. I have found the little ones up to the grandparents can pick up most games fairly quick and have fun doing it. It is one of the console whose games allow you to actually do some physical activity, as opposed to sitting and just getting a thumb workout....
Highly Recommend.

It really helps if you have a game that needs the nunchuck. It really makes two player games more exciting instead of just sitting and watching one person play while you wait your turn. GET IT.

There is just something about getting into the game as much as you do with some of the Wii games that can bring out the craziness in people. Lots of laughing is usually involved. We have had the Wii for many months now and the games never seem to get boring. What is great about it is that it can be enjoyed by nearly all ages due to the fact that it can work with minimal effort or you can expend a lot of effort to play the games. I think does a lot for helping develope coordination of hand and eye (and sometimes even feet). It comes with the Sports Game and there are many things you can select to play off of that particular game that will keep you going for a long time. Boxing, Baseball, Bowling, Tennis - all fun. You start by making up your own character (Miis) and this is pretty easy to do. You have all sorts of features to select from to make your character (who will play all these games) look just like yourself.
The system has held up well for us and the controllers are very durable, nothing has broken so far even on one or two occasions where the controller has left a hand and flow across the room (use those wrist straps!) they have continued to work very well. Lots of fun with as much exercise power as you wish to expend on some of the games.

I'm not nuts, I thought, everyone else is. I'm not crazy to stand out here all night freezing my self to the bone to get a Nintendo Wii for my son because I see this madness for what it is. Everyone else is standing here in a fog, so consumed with lust for this simple device, which next year at this time will be available everywhere and for probably at least a third less the cost. I tried to convince myself I was not crazy when the simple fact is that I am, and so is anyone who will take time out of our short lives to pursue such nonsense. Still there is something to be said for trivial pursuits. They help us clear our minds and decompress from the drudgery of our daily work which is no more important for most of us or the world than video games themselves. Video games are a new creative form and a budding one at that. It will take time for them to mature to the level, say, films have. The interactive nature of video games open up many wonderful possibilities for the chance for true art to emerge. Since these games have been marketed for kids and childlike adults that si the direction the content has taken. As the creators evolve, as any true artist must, more mature and creative content will emerge.
The Nintendo wii seems to be the first system which shows some promise of raising video games out of the repetitive maze like shooting slump that has plagued them almost from the start. So far the games that I see available for the Wii are no better than their predecessors but once you play almost any game that requires you to flail your arms to accomplish your goals it is easy to see how this system may be instrumental in taking the couch potato stigma away from video games. I can already imagine games where controllers are on arms and legs and full appendage movement forces the user to actually get up and move. The content of the games themselves must evolve and I feel the content will mature now that the concept behind this system has.
The Nintendo Wii may lack 1080p or i and it many not have a large hard drive, or one at all. I am still unclear on the built in memory of this system and it's controller. It may have a poorly designed strap. It may also have an unruly army of witchy moms who would kill you to get their hands on one and a bunch of know it all gamer clerks that are savoring these last few weeks before no one cares to speak to them about anything. All these problems are temporary. The wii will evolve like the game boy did and before long all your hearts desires will be included in the system. I can imagine a USB hard drive, a helmet controller, boxing glove controllers for a real Raging Bull or Rocky game. I can also foresee a real story where the user is thrown into a world where guns and destruction are not the driving conflicts of the story.
The wii is a success if only for it's groundbreaking interactive controllers. true the PS2 tried this with the eye toy but it was clearly before it's time like the Apple Newton to the Palm. My 6 year old son took to this system a few minutes after I hooked it up. He knows nothing about wide screen or pan and scan, 480p or 1080i. He is just a kid but his immediate grasp of the nature of this system speaks volumes to it's strengths and potential.
The Wii is here and will change gaming as we know it from now forward. All other future systems will follow their lead or be left behind.

I'll be brief:
- Fun factor: A+
- Graphics (compared to PS3/X360): B
- Overall: A
Good points:
- My parents play it and will buy one for themselves.
- Wii Bowling and Wii Tennis are simply amazing. They are the Super Mario Bros equivalent to the original NES that made it such a hit.
- You'll have more fun watching people play Wii Boxing than you playing yourself (part of the fun).
- Everything feels simple and easy to use.
- The controller rocks. I don't want to go back to old controllers. Make sure you get at least 3 extra controllers (one comes with WiiPlay) and one extra nunchuck.
- Insert your SD memory card from your camera and watch slideshows of photos and videos. Very nice.
- For those who bought a GameCube, the Wii has inputs for your old controllers (and memory cards) and plays all your old games (Mario Party anyone?).
- Creating a Mii is a lot of fun. A game unto itself.
- The most fun you'll have in a very long time. A great party tool.
Bad points:
- For games like Wii Golf, Wii Sports and Wii Play Pool, the control is not accurate enough. I do not yet know if this is a programming issue or a physical limitation of the controllers. However the good news is that for all other games this issue is non-existent.
- The graphics feel "last-gen". About the same as PlayStation 2 and original Xbox, or even worst sometimes. However Nintendo made a great job to create games that look awesome as the cartoonish look of Wii Sports doesn't need great graphics. I guess next year when programmers learn the inners of the Wii they'll come up with games that look better.
- Not much in the internet gaming space. This is needed soon (can you image playing bowling with your parents over the Internet?)
- Slow to launch the Internet Channel (Opera), so one just gives up and goes to use the PC instead.
- You need a USA credit card to buy Wii Points, which is a bummer for people living outside the US.
- Virtual Console (VC) games are too expensive. A price of $2 to $5 would be acceptable and would probably sell way more titles for Nintendo.
- We should be able to download a demo of the VC games before paying for them to see if we like them.
- When you download stuff, there is no progress bar, only Mario running around, so you don't get a sense of how long things will take to download.
- There is no way to download stuff in the background while you do other things.
- Often times, the Internet connection is lost for no apparent reason.
- You can change the language of the Wii interface, but the games do not. At least Nintendo's own games should detect the current language and show players an experience in that language. To Nintendo's credit however, neither Sony or Microsoft do this.
Bottom line:
With all its minor flaws, this is the most fun my family has had in a very long time. very highly recommended.

So its official, my family and I have become a "Wii" family! We've always been video game enthusiasts, we own all of the other consoles, but we put off on adding a wii for quite sometime.
Now that we own a wii, I have to admit, I LOVE IT! If you're feeling a little frustrated and you can't make it out to the court, then turn on the wii. Looking for something to do as a family and tired of watching movies, then turn on the wii. Looking for a challenge, then turn on the wii!
It's gotten so that we have a sign up sheet so we can get equal playing time and we are always trying to hone up on our skills.

Its simply amazing. Its simply three letters. Its simply Wii. Who could've thought a one syllable word could describe such a "revolutionary" system.
It is the smallest of all the seventh generation video game systems right now. Of course, the PS3 will get a smaller and slightly better makeover sometime, as it happened with its previous incarnations. It looks light, but is actually pretty heavy once you carry it or the box. It has three corners, and one "cut-off" edge. It looks like a DS cartridge. Coincidence? It can lay horizontally on four little "stubs" or it's more popular vertical look using a stand and circular sort of balancer. There are some ports at the back and the fan. At the top, there are two flaps, one for up to four Gamecube controllers, and the other for two memory cards. Both can be snapped off if you use force and snapped back on later. At the front is another, unremovable flap. It conceals the "sync" button for syncing Wiimotes and an SD card slot. Overall, it has a pretty simple design, nothing really too complicated.
The Wiimotes are sleek yet simple. It has a Power button, D-Pad, A button, - and + buttons, Home button, 1 and 2 buttons, and the B trigger. Thhee D-Pad looks like the one on the DS Lite, and pops up quite a bit. There is a speaker in the middle of the remote. It sounds quite cheap, but you can always turn it off it is that much of a bother. There is also a concealed rumble motor. At the bottom is a "Wii" logo and the connector port for other controllers or attachments. There is also the wrist strap hook, and the wrist strap already comes attached. It is one controller that will be remembered for decades to come.
The Nunchuck is the included controller expansion. It connects to the Wiimote through a three-foot long cord with a connecter at the end. the connecter has a small, clear piece of plastic for feeding the wrist strap on the Wiimote through. On the actual controller, there is a medium sized analog stick, and on the top is an oval C button and below is a large, rectangular Z button. It is only one of the Wiimote expansions.
The gameplay itself is awesome. Of course, once you turn the system on, you have to turn on the settings and blah. Once you finish, you're ready to play! You use the remote as a pointer and point to different channels and junk. The first thing you should do is visit the Mii Channel. You'll need a Mii to play some games. Afterwards, check out the Shop Channel, weather, or news. Its cool that Nintendo gave us a game to play out of the box. Its the first time in probably over ten years. The game is called Wii Sports. Its sort of a trial to try out the remote. Four of the five games only need the remote, but Boxing needs the nunchuck. Multiplayer for Bowling and Golf only need one remote, but Tennis, Baseball, and Boxing need one remote(and for Boxing, nunchuck) per player, so it should be a priority to get an extra remote. Its probably not going to keep you addicted for hours like Zelda, but its good for multiplayer.
Overall, the Wii is probably the best of the seventh generation consoles, and hopefully, in the end, come out on top. Nintendo really outdid themselves this time.
It is the smallest of all the seventh generation video game systems right now. Of course, the PS3 will get a smaller and slightly better makeover sometime, as it happened with its previous incarnations. It looks light, but is actually pretty heavy once you carry it or the box. It has three corners, and one "cut-off" edge. It looks like a DS cartridge. Coincidence? It can lay horizontally on four little "stubs" or it's more popular vertical look using a stand and circular sort of balancer. There are some ports at the back and the fan. At the top, there are two flaps, one for up to four Gamecube controllers, and the other for two memory cards. Both can be snapped off if you use force and snapped back on later. At the front is another, unremovable flap. It conceals the "sync" button for syncing Wiimotes and an SD card slot. Overall, it has a pretty simple design, nothing really too complicated.
The Wiimotes are sleek yet simple. It has a Power button, D-Pad, A button, - and + buttons, Home button, 1 and 2 buttons, and the B trigger. Thhee D-Pad looks like the one on the DS Lite, and pops up quite a bit. There is a speaker in the middle of the remote. It sounds quite cheap, but you can always turn it off it is that much of a bother. There is also a concealed rumble motor. At the bottom is a "Wii" logo and the connector port for other controllers or attachments. There is also the wrist strap hook, and the wrist strap already comes attached. It is one controller that will be remembered for decades to come.
The Nunchuck is the included controller expansion. It connects to the Wiimote through a three-foot long cord with a connecter at the end. the connecter has a small, clear piece of plastic for feeding the wrist strap on the Wiimote through. On the actual controller, there is a medium sized analog stick, and on the top is an oval C button and below is a large, rectangular Z button. It is only one of the Wiimote expansions.

It was abot ten days before Christmas and I had checked just about every store in the Gulf Coast looking for this Wii. Best Buy had this great beautiful neon-lighted display rising in electronics like a plexigass skyscraper, I was drawn to it like a moth, but the kid-employee just laughed when I asked him what aisle had all the Wii's for sale. He said 4 might be coming in Sunday, but that I'd probably have to get in line around 8 (store opens at 12), I got so desperate I tried to bribe a stocker at Walmart. I tried a hundred places on-line and everyone was either out, or exploiting guys like me, by charging an extra [..]or so....but Amazon.com saved the day. Had them, and at the going price, and got it to me in 3 days, free shipping. The Wii is great, Amazon.com is great!

I'm over 60, and very much of a computer potato. The Wii (with the Sports bundle) gets me off the computer (for a while every day, anyway!) and gets me moving! Bowling is the most fun sport for me. I also bought the Wii Fit to go with it. It's helping me with my overall strength, as well as body balance issues. It's even helping my overweight husband. There is a great variety of games to choose from, so that even when I'm feeling not-so-good on any given day, I can choose lower-energy games (exercises.) I have zero complaints! I love it, and can't imagine ever "outgrowing" it or getting bored with it!

The Wii is the second tv game console I have owned and every single penny I put towards it was worth it. I got mine about a year and a half ago. I got at costco in a bundle with an extra wii remote and Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess for 300 bucks. That's a whole fifty dollars off. The new graphics for the Wii are a huge step away from the gamecube. The quality of the games and video is purely sweet eye candy. Many people say the the remotes don't work or that the games are all for little kids but that isn't true. All of the games I own (which is a lot) are definently not for kids.
The Wii menu is as cool as can be. I highly reccomend connecting your wii to the internet so you can buy games and surf the internet on your own console right from the living room. Sadly the internet channel costs 500 points or five dollars but it's worth it. Also the Wii comes with a lot of free storage space so you probably won't have to get a memory card for a while.
GET IT CAUSE IT IS AWESOME!!!

Wii We got this for ourselves and have found this product easy to use as well as a lot of fun! Bowling is our favorite because we find it competitive, but less strenuous than going to the bowling alley. We like the variety of the games and the numerous choices that can be added. It is great to be able to recreate ourselves in the form of a mii. That is so cool! We aren't seniors yet, but we are close and the wii gives us an opportunity to be active indoors, especially in the Chicago winter!

There's a reason this is such a hot item.
When you feel the need to "blow stuff up", a console from Xbox or Playstation might be a good fit. But there are a couple of things that those consoles don't do well. And Wii picks up that slack very nicely indeed.
1)
Getting your parents and grandparents involved. The first time I had my parents over after I got the Wii, I put in the sports disc (that comes in this package) and started up tennis. My mom asked, "How do I serve". I asked how she would serve if she were really playing tennis (something which she hasn't done in many years due to heart problems). She made the motion and, VOILA!, her avatar served the ball.
My dad, who I don't think has played a video game with me since we got Pong when I was a kid, kicked my butt in Bowling the first time he played.
What I'm saying is the controllers really are very intuitive even for "non-gamers" and the games are fun for all ages.
2)
Party settings. I love Halo and other games like that, but it isn't much fun to watch other people play, especially for non-gamers.
On the other hand, with great party games like Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, the Wii becomes almost as much fun to watch others play as it is to play yourself. That's because, when done right, people stand up and make fools of themselves while competing against other guests.
---
One word of caution, though: Really do strap on those wiimotes. Sweaty palms could really ruin your day if you throw a wiimote through your TV. (This has never happened to me, but we always strap up.)

I have had MS for 20 years, but over the last year I have become unable to drive because of visual problems. I used to swim every day at the Y but I can no longer get there and, having encountered the wii at a physical therapy unit, I started campaigning to get one for my birthday. Well, I have it now and I couldn't be more pleased. I used to be a pretty good tennis player, now I can play again - SITTING DOWN! I'm also improving rapidly at bowling and golf, still some way to go at baseball and boxing. Best of all, I can compete with my husband and even beat him sometimes!

I love the Wii because it is so easy to use. Once Nintendo switched from just A B and the cross controller, I found myself unable to coordinate my fingers and keep up with the technology. Since we have purchased the Wii, I have been able to play games again because I understand the controller. For the most part, you just point it at the TV and wave it around. You can make it as active or as passive as you want to.
They also have a wide range of games available for the Wii so all ages and skill levels can play on it. You can use the game cube games on it too.
Another cool thing is that you can use the Wi-Fi and link up with people around the world to play! Much funner than just playing with yourself and it helps you to develope your gaming skills. You can also download classic nintendo games. :)
I would recommend this to anyone! Well worth the money.

This is by far the best game system that we have EVER purchased. My entire family gets involved and although the parts are pricey, it is well worth it. I have already told my kids that this will be the last game system we will get as long as they live in my house, because there are still some things we want to buy like Mario Cart and extra controllers. But we all enjoy it and it keeps us moving. The Wii Fit is the 2nd best purchase and I am glad that we were able to get both. Amazon.com got some right before Christmas and I am glad that they were able to get it to us before Christmas Eve. THANK YOU AMAZON and thank you JESUS that we have something that allows our family to game together instead of sending us in different parts of the house!

Although the graphics can't beat the other game systems out there, this game console gets my vote because of the fun, family-friendly games. My husband has the Xbox, Xbox 360, and I just bought him the PSP 3000, and these systems are great if you want fighting, shooting, war games. The Wii gives you so many more game choices like brain teasers, puzzles, action, game shows, and more! Its SO easy to use and will provide years of fun! I just got my Wii two weeks ago and I use it at least an hour a day just to do the Wii Fit. Excellent game system!

Finally picked up a Wii from Amazon for my son's birthday. I already have a PS3 that I love, but my son likes to hijack it to play the "Duckie" and Locco Rocco games. So now I have my PS3 on my hi-def set and the wii on the much smaller standard 4:3 tv.
I give the wii 4 stars for the package as a whole. Nice form factor (it takes up very little space when on the vertical stand), and innovative motion-sensing controls that even a toddler can use. The inclusion of Wii Sports is fantastic, but I am a bit disappointed that I have to purchase the web browser separately (about $5, but it should really be pre-installed). On a side note, the soft remote jacket makes the wiimote a little bulky for small hands.
The Wii is great for family time, or get-togethers with friends. It encourages bonding time among the family, as everyone can participate and cheer each other on (my son isn't at the trash talk stage... yet). However, I don't see it getting much use by a single player. Even my son doesn't spend much time with it unless someone else is around to join in or watch.
Overall, I would say that the Wii is a nice complemtary system to my PS3. If I only had the Wii, I think I would be a little disappointed (with no Blu-ray playback, no 1080p, no upscaling of dvds, no divx playback, and no downloadable content for Rock Band). I am, however, looking forward to what Nintendo and their third party developers come up with that takes advantage of the wiimote control mechanism, as there are only a few titles that interest me at this time. I'll likely get Wii Fit when it's available (I could use it). Yes, this is my son's system. However, this doesn't mean that I can't hijack it for myself from time to time...

Bueno, este accesorio del wii mote es bastante interesante y es una de las razones que hacen el Wii tan novedoso, pero el problema es que actualmente el mercado no tiene juegos que den una fidelidad ni siquiera aproximada a la realidad. En algunas ocasiones se necesita mucha fuerza para hacer usado en algunos juegos o no es tan sensible como el control principal. Puede que m?s adelante se logre alcanzar un uso adecuado del mismo. Sin embargo, tendremos que esperar por otro aditamento o por una mejora de este complemento.
