The Wii isn't a fad, the Wii is essentially to Video Games as the Ipod was to portable music. It's this new standard of convenient, efficient and affordable technology put into sleek packages that is taking the technological markets by storm. |
Excellent analogy. I'm not sure why I haven't seen this posted before. There are so many parallels:
1. Intuitive interface (iPod wheel/menus vs WiiMote)
2. Elegant, compact design
3. Compelling software (iTunes vs Nintendo 1st-party titles, as well as "party" games)
