NorthStar said: Fist off this is not a knock on Nintendo I have a Wii. I just do not understand the mass appeal of the Wii. The Big games are still the same big games Nintendo has always had. |
That's where you're wrong. True, it's still giving us awesome Zeldas, Marios, and Metroids, but it's also delivering fantastic games for the expanded market (Wii Sports, Fit, Music, etc.). This plays a role in the appeal: it's the first console in a long, long time that deliberately tries to appeal to people beyond the traditional gamer, and it does so with original and accessible games. That plays a role, but there's more to it as well.
