He didn't call the Wii a fad, per se, he was talking about the controller. At least that's what the paragraph before it was talking about. Since there was no mention of Wii in the paragraph when he said fad, I'll take it that the second paragraph was siimply a continuation of the first. |
The Wii is a major selling point for the Wii though. If the Wii Remote was a fad then the Wii itself would likely collapse. It doesn't matter what he said because the meaning is still there.

No, not really.
He can call the Wii-mote a fad but not the Wii.
The Wii itself is about bringing everyone into the gaming world, the Wii-mote is simply a vehicle to do so. The Wii Balance board could (and is) doing the same exact thing, as could numerous other peripherals.
I'm not saying his statement has any stock, but the Wii-mote is not the sole reason for the Wii's success.

The Wii Remote is a BIG reason for the Wii's success. It's easy to use and that's what brought people to the Wii (mostly casuals though). Do you think if they made a non-motion control controller and bundled Wii Sports with it do you think it would be a success? Nope. It would probably be dismissed as another sports game title. The Wii Remote is what helped Wii Sports, and essentially the Wii sell. If the Wii Remote was a fad then the Wii would've collapsed. Simple as that. EIther that or sold a lot less than it is selling now and third party support would likely be a lot smaller.

I don't think I disagree with that, or that I stated that in the post I made.
I'm saying it's not solely due to the Wii-Remote, but Nintendo's focus on everyone.
