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.......

That's like saying the analog stick in the N64 made it a fad because people bought it to play games in a new way.

did everyone forget fads can last a generation? look at disco.

Hmm...

See my point Rol? Even if the Wii and all Wii based products are fads they can be insanely popular. Meaning calling the wii a fad isnt a bad thing at all.

Being female is not a bad thing either, but most men feel insulted when being called a girl/woman (and vice-versam nothing wrong with being male but implying a woman is mannish is insulting) so the Wii being a fad (according to them) not being a bad thing is irrelevant.

BTW, the way Ps2 sales have slowed down I guess the PS2 was a fad too
