The moral? Make sure you read the terms of use to find out what the service allows before committing to it, otherwise you may end up paying for something you can't use.
Not a big enough difference from the last generation.......? Good God man, what are you smoking...? Do you even know what the Wii is? Because if you ask me, your comment applies to the other two consoles more so than it does to the Wii.
What's so different about the Xbox 360 from the Xbox...? Well, other than a prettier face, nothing really. It uses practically the same controller (moving two buttons does not constitute enough of a change), actually LACKS the built-in hard drive its predecessor had, and introduces wireless controllers, which have been available since at least the SNES era.
How about the PS3....? Again, a prettier face but that's about it here as well. It's pretty much the same damn controller that's been used since the Playstation. It's got a hard drive but that was done last generation. Online service....? Xbox 1 did that. Motion sensor in the controller....? Ummmm, yeah, we won't even get STARTED on that. Oh, but I forgot the biggest difference between the PS3 and the PS2; no one's buying it!
If you sit down and look at it, the Wii is the ONLY system that is really something different from the last generation. The other two systems are more or less visual upgrades to consoles of the past while the Wii demands an entirely new way of looking at and playing video games. To be honest, the Wii is the first console that has shown a real "change" in gaming since the Nintendo 64 introduced the ability to push out games in 3D, everything else has been just visual upgrades, though you can make a case that with Live! Xbox marked a significant change as well (the counter-case would be that PC games had already been doing that for years, but since we're talking consoles here we won't consider that).
Every person who considers how much something has changed by it's looks needs to actually sit down and think about it, because the cosmetics are probably one of the smallest factors of change in my opinion.
