Why is the Inferior Wii So Popular?

[ookaze]

It's funny because taking the contrary of everything in this article gives pretty much what I believe since launch.
The Wii is just superior to both PS3 and XB360 in every single way. The only thing where the competitors could have been better is graphics, but it requires lots of things (HDTV surge, interest in HD surge, expensive furnitures, ...), that make this advantage a niche, and thus a completely inexistant advantage in the end.
Even the Wii online is superior in every single way to both PS3 and XB360, but even here people are unable to see it, and are saying the exact contrary.

The Wii is just superior, but the problem is that lots of people, competitors included, are completely unable to see it, being shut in a very shallow and tiny vision of reality. People and competitors stuck in technology, and believing that consoles are a technology product, are just plain fooling themselves.

That's not because some people with sense didn't tell them. But they just won't listen and stubbornly continue in their flawed view instead of evolving. Well, too bad for them. That's also why I realised little after the launch of the Wii, that the competitors just couldn't see the danger it represented, just how it was going to fly past them without them realising.

All it takes is changing from a flawed metrics (technology) to the real one (entertainment), but it seems like very hard to do for most people.

Once you understand the Wii is vastly superior to both its competitors, the OP article doesn't make sense anymore, as everything is wrong in it.
