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.......

...which is why, I sit at home randomly swinging a TV remote in emulation of a Wiimote.

Because I don't need games... I just like to swing something around!

Heck, maybe I should go take up cricket :P

 

 

Let's just put it this way, if the Wii didn't have motion controls and all the same games, would it be selling as well?

Obviously not

Now if they didn't have motion controls I'm sure they would have made an HD system (I would hope anyway) and gone a different way. But BMaker11 was just making the point that it is the motion controls in conjunction with playing the games that drives the Wii. He just replaced the 2nd part with "........"
