PS2 is a videogame console. Wii is every kids fantasy, every woman's weight loss opportunity, every old person's chance to bowl again, every hardcore gamers chance to smile and have some fun, every mans chance to ski, play tennis and golf without ever paying for equiptment, flights or membership.

BR could well be slowed considerably because of this.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
