How many $250 fads can you mention?
I've heard that $60 - $100 is the upper limits of most peoples impulse purchases, with $20-30 being a more typical figure -- Furby was around 30 if I remember corectly. Now some people will blow 250 to get a tickle me elmo or the like, but it can hardly account for hundreds of thousands, let alone millions, in sales.
good point.
seriously, if the wii is a fad, then so are the other consoles. the wii can be just like them except a little less graphically, its not just motionsensitivity. im about sick of saying this. the wii is like the other consoles, except it has more to it. therefor it cant be a dieing fad ever unless all the other consoles die as well. plus look at people downloading classic games on the wii. most of those people are downloading games they already have, and i bet back then people said videogames were just a fad, yet today not only is the videogame industry taking over the world, but people are paying money to download those same age old games that started it all. go ahead and call the wii a fad, its easy to do for now. forget about the fact that is can be exactly like the other consoles, ESPECIALLY thanks to the classic control. yea, forget all that, call it a fad. no one can give solid evidence to disprove that, so its easy way out rather than argueing the facts. here are the facts, the wii is dominating and it can be and is just like the other consoles, only has more to it. thats all sony fans argue anymore, in the future, graphics.. blah blah blah, lets talk about now.
o, and BTW, im never going to get tired of playing madden on the wii with the way it works, moving the controller in certain ways to do stuff. madden got a higher rating on the wii than the other consoles and sold more than them too. im never going to get tired of slashing with the wiimote to use swords. im never going to get tired of ussing the wiimote as a steering wheel on driving games.
AND I AM DEFINATLY NEVER EVER GOING TO MISS USING AN ANALOG STICK TO AIM ON SHOOTERS AS OPPOSED TO DOING SIMILAR TO REAL LIFE... JUST POINT AND SHOOT.
all that stuff is easily, more natural, and for most who are willing to admit it, MORE FUN. and isnt that the important thing?
I like the gun on the NES better than the wii-mote pointer. Too much lag.
I hate the lack of a 2nd analog stick. Tilting a controller to turn is not more realistic, pointing your gun off to the side to turn, is not more realistic. It is just another way to do something fake. I see it like that. I personally perfer the responce time on a joystick. I've never been a fond keyboard/mouse person, I play games with joysticks if I can.
Speaking of realism. Flight games on the wii are amazing... The realisim. Tilt the controller just like the plane would tilt... wait. Why arent we useing a joystick? I know, The Wii is beyond realism.
