Wii owners: pros and cons?

Guys, I'm seriously considering ditching my 360 and picking up a Nintendo Wii. I think the Wii with its pick-up-and-play style of gaming, fits my current schedule better than the 360. I have a ton of good games for the 360 but due to work, I rarely get time to get into them in great depth, and I also use the PS2 for some of my gaming needs.

I'd still mostly play sports games and of course, Nintendo's first-party games.

For those that own a Wii, what are some of the things the console does well, and what doesn't it do well? As a sports gamer (mostly), would I be satisfied with the current library?

As I mentioned, my time is limited, so things like franchise mode and the like aren't huge concerns for me. I'm also still on an SDTV, so graphics don't matter, either.

Thanks for the input.

I have a PS3 and a Wii. Make this switch only if you never want to play a sports game again.

Never get rid of your 360 or PS3 for a Wii. Ours collects dust in our house. It's not for sports gaming other than Tiger Woods. I honestly feel most people have bought this thing because so many other people have. It sounds cool but doesn't have the lasting appeal imo. It's definitely not for the hardcore sports gamer. I would recommend passing on the Wii completely. At best it's a complimentary system.
