Why are people so threatened by the Wii?

[johnlucas]

I see it all over the forums & comment boards on the internet.

This Wii thing has got people besides themselves. They are rooting for this system NOT to be a success & hoping it will ultimately fail. It comes out in overt and covert ways but there is a current of thought that seems irked that Wii even exists.

What do you think causes this?

Actually I sort of know the reasons but I just want to get you all's take on the chafing that Wii brings to some people.
