| eatrice said: I think one huge advantage that the PS2 had/has is that it is also a DVD player. The Wii does not have the capability nor is it really important now. Seven years ago that advantage played well to consumers. But who knows if the Wii really opens up a Pandora's box to non-gamer's wallets it is easily possible. |
...but it's a personal fitness computer! I bet there are tons of "overweight-and-want-to-do-something-about-it-but-are-too-shy-to-go-to-a-gym" people the world over who see this as the perfect machine for doing that "something about it".
Remember, at least in the land of infomercials that is the US, people will buy anything that remotely resembles a promise to shed off the excess pounds. The Wii is that machine - in their eyes at least. It's affordable (probably cheaper than a membership at a fitness club), accessible, and it's interactive - that's already a vast improvement over exercise DVDs!
