There are quite a few videos of glitched Wiis on youtube, so I wouldn't call it just "a few consoles" either.
So, there are 32 million Wii consoles out there yet no class action lawsuit against this problem. Meaning yes, it's a small problem. Whereas the reported 360 failure rate is supposedly ~35% (which I find hard to believe, all of my local or uni friends with 360's have needed replacements and it's the same for lots of people I know online).
That's very strange about your friends VC problem. According to Nintendo they transfer the games or give Points Cards in return, so if I was your friend I'd rather follow up on that and make a formal complaint rather than post it on Youtube. Excellent customer support though. My DS Lite developed one of them cracked hinges and even without class action lawsuits they shipped me a brand new one in 10 days. It takes 2-4 weeks to get a replacement 360 here
Mmm, it's a shame Nintendo didn't go High Def. I'll admit I was surprised when they said no high def surport. I was also surprised when they told us it'd be called "Wii".

Yes, some games have real nice models and textures (Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Metroid Prime 3) but is really hurt by the low resolution and lack of anti-aliasing.
- Ok, you must admit that was the most creative cussing this site have ever seen -
