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.

Which of those two will sell more? Jesus, isn't it bleeding obvious.

I hope it smashes every single record the PS2 created. I really think its impossible for competition to measure up to it from now on and motion is the thing people want.

BR could well be slowed considerably because of this.

Conclusion, how many fat people are there in the world? Yea, well that's how many Wii's there going to sell. ALOT

Damn straight.  This guy speaks the truth.  I don't recall PS2 having Wii Sports or Wii Fit, which are both exclusive gaming revolutions that are changing the entire industry.

(@bolded part) And Nintendo did all that with software alone instead of Blu-Ray players, Netflix deals, or any other extra media stuff.  Nintendo didn't even need DVD playback.  They just needed games.

Not really software alone...  there is the wiimote and the balance board...

Yeah, but in the Wii's case, those are married to the software and absolutely necessary for the software to work.

I can't say the same about Blu-Ray and stuff.  The various other media options add to a console's worth, but not to the fun factor of that console's software, and that's how these wars are won.
