Even though he didn't call the Wii a fad, I honestly believe there's an ounce of truth in it. I mean, what reason are people buying it? It can't be for the games...and don't say something like Mario or Zelda as reasons, because otherwise, the Gamecube would have beat everyone last gen. Excite Truck and NinjaBreadMan aren't whats making people buy this system, it's the novelty of swinging that remote.......

...to play all the games. This helps to kill the "been there, done that" feeling that started to occur to more and more gamers in the last several years. Improving the graphics alone just doesn't cut it anymore which is reflected by the sales of the HD consoles.

...

You don't believe that people buy Wiis to play games in a new way?

 

No, they buy Wii's to piss off nerds who like HiDef graphics and online communities whose favorite color is brown... (Dammit, that's me.)

Edit: Disco is still going quite strong thank you very much.  I bet more people can sing along to more disco songs than rap songs.

I agree with you. I always believed that a song like YMCA is more recognizable than songs of Michael Jackson or even The Beatles.

OT: Am I the only one to notice that he only mentioned Rockband and Guitar Hero for third-party casual games? Of course he couldn't mention Dance Dance Revolution that is coming to every platform except PS3. I'm going to get DDR X later this year for my PS2. I can see why people are casual players are choosing PS2 over PS3.
