I'm not that big on the Wii system myself, but it does seem like it has captured the female market better than a lot of previous systems. For example, there are girls in my office who always talk about playing Wii games, my friend's wife is also really into it, and my girlfriend wants one for Christmas.
Video games used to be something guys talked about more often than girls (at least from my experience), but the Wii seems to be evening that out a bit.
I also agree that the real strengths of the system are that it is more "social" than other systems. Not really my thing as I am more of an intravert, but I can see why it is so popular.
