It´s the controls. Go to a market with a Wii demoed and watch people´s reactions. especially adults´ reactions, parents´ reactions, reactions of people who have never played videogames before. Still years after launch, thousands of people, who probably never owned a console before, buy Wiis every week because of the still unique controls.
Same for DS (but this system is a step further. There is no need to demo it anymore, it´s the new gold standard due to the controls and its sensational diverse library. People buy it on the go, they already know what to expect before they buy it, they know what games/applications they want for it).
