Yeah, I Googled that. It also did not need to be given a new name because it has been known for more than twenty years as the "cargo cult" mentality :)
But my question was how it applied to the discussion, not what it meant. I don't see the relevance of that article. I'm not saying that if you code casual games on a 360 they will sell as much as the ones on the Wii, or have a giant console sales boost.
I'm saying that the balance board + Wii Fit being a system seller by itself shows that for many people the core Wii is a commodity appliance. Give them a similar experience centered around a different console and they won't care, where by experience I mean software + hardware + public image.

That's why I said that it's all in the marketing.
