At its peak, sure. But I mean, how many people do you know who still have a Wii and actually uses it? I happen to have one and it's actually plugged into my TV, but even I rarely play it.

I keep tabs from afar, and the only activity I can see in the homebrew scene is the revival of some online games (by bringing up custom/reverse-enginnered servers + patching the games, e.g. Mario Kart, Call of Duty Black Ops, etc.), but other than that, the homebrew scene on the Wii is mostly dead.

Shame, probably the most widespread consumer platform you can port ppc distros to.

If I and more time and energy it'd be neat to try and port something over.
