Something to Ponder.... Why is the Wii so popular and sells so well

The Wii is playable by a majority of the population. Only a fraction of the population is capable of playing most PS360 games, and most people not in that fraction are unwilling to spend the time to learn even if they are mildly interested in vdieo games. Nintendo is luring these non-gaming people into gaming with the Wii because the Wii is easy to play.

The wii has a higher learening curve then either the PS3 or 360.   People would just rather flail their arms like some retarded drunk then sit with a controller and enjoy a much better game.

 

Please...  You can't be serious.   What takes more time to learn: Wii Sports or MLB 2K9?  Link's Crossbow or Gears of War?  Mario Kart or GT5P?    Wii games can be learned in seconds even by your grandmother.  A lot of HD games take hours to fully master the controls.   I still havn't master FPS with dual analog - it's so counter-intuitive and sloppy.
