Yes, I bought the system on the day it came out. Like probably 90% of Wii owners, I purchased Zelda along with the console, and of course it came packaged with Wii Sports as well. Interestingly enough, I've probably spent more time playing Wii Sports than Zelda so far; not because Zelda is a bad game, but because I can pick up Wii Tennis and play for 5-10 minutes, which I can't really do with Zelda.
As far as evaulating the games... Wii Sports is a great party game, but it doesn't have a whole lot of depth. I had pretty low expectations for it, however, and it's actually better than I expected it to be. Some of the minigames in Wii Sports are really fun (the bowling one where you have to knock down 91 pins is a hoot!) Zelda is... well, Zelda, only with motion-sensing controls. And I mean that in a good way; Twilight Princess is a really fantastic game, with the new controller adding to the experience. My biggest complaint would be that the game is on the easy side; I would have liked to see an additional (harder) difficulty level as an option.
I have not experienced any problems, certainly nothing like the flying Wiimote of Internet lore. Is it worth the hype? For now, yes, but it's less certain that a steady stream of good games will follow up the strong start. I hope Nintendo doesn't delay their upcoming big name games, but judging by past history, there's a good chance that will happen. We'll see. I'm also hoping that Nintendo improves the online capabilities of the Wii soon; I really want to be able to play Wii Sports against my friends online!
I didn't have to wait for the system, so I can't answer that question.

My friend is planning to get his. As a PC Windows user, I see no need for a console game

At Futureshop today I watched one of the LCD advertising screens that showed people playing Wii Sports, it was rather funny.

There is no way someone playing the Wii in a reasonable manner could throw the Wiimote.
It is definately an awesome console, and I've only played it for an hour.

One could do so by accident. Greasy and Buttery hands would pose a risk of a flying WIIIIII controler/wiimote

Even then it would be tough, what with the pretty good wristband.
Closest Wii-related accident I got was during a particularly intense game of golf. Ho hum.

I have a Wii. Only problems I encountered with the remote is with it being too sensitive and losing the pointer, and it seems to stop working in some parts in a game. I tried throwing it and pulling the strap to see if it breaks and flies off, but I couldn't break it.

My former friend bought a Wii.
There is this club. 5 people my age, including me and him are in it. The other 3 constantly make fun of him, tease him, and are mean to him in front of him and behind his back. I am the only one of the 4 that is nice to him. Guess who he invites to his party?
The three who hate him. And I am not invited to the party. Needless to say, now I am not his friend.
To him:
Keep buying toys to try to win friends and not being nice to them. And invite real friends to parties, not enemies. Brahma's probably slapped that on his karma (He's Hindu).

Now in Black and White!!
I bought it a week after it came out. My cousin got sent two by Argos by accident 
I've not bought any other games for it apart from Wiiplay but that is cracking, had some friends over and just went mental. Best fun I've had in ages.
Although I did hear that both the new Mario game AND the new Metroid game has been delayed till the end of next year :s
