Sony - We lead, not follow, we don’t want senior citizen gamers, Wii is fad

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 "........"

You seem to be missing the point completely. The games on the Wii are unique because of the controls. Take away the controls, and you take away the Wii itself.

What are you really saying? That the Wii is cheaper, and less powerful than the other consoles? Yeah - we know that.

Its a disruptive device, which means that it plays by its own rules. Change these rules back to the "conventional" rules, and sure it won't stack up - its not supposed to.

BMaker11 said that we were NOT playing the Wii for the games - rather for the controls. This is completely wrong. We play Wii for the unique games on the Wii which require these controls.

If you take away the software, the Wii is nothing.
