The Wii has word of mouth and seniors on its side. Folks have driven demand for the console to insane levels. Nearly 2 years since launch, the most Wiis I've seen in the wild are like 2-3 at once. And not for long. The Wii doesn't need big titles to sell out. Elderly folks are buying them, children are demanding, and adults think it's hip. It's really an interesting phenom of sorts. And it is not really spilling over into the 360 and PS3 either. The new Wii folks are having a blast with WiiSports, and getting the free controller with WiiPlay, and the balance board with WiiFit that they are content.
