Do you really think Nintendo expected Wii to dominate? I think they'd have ramped up supply before launch if so.

You think they created an entirely new control system out of the goodness of their hearts?

Miyamoto, maybe, but he'd have had a pretty hard time convincing 20,000 people if he didn't know it was going to be ridiculously successful. Maybe they did underestimate its success, but I'm 90% sure they thought it would be on top.

As for one more push propelling the PS3 above the 360, you are absolutely right. But the Wii is untouchable.

 

I don't know if Nintendo thought it would be on top. But I think it realized that it would be further behind if it did not do something differently. And the DS showed that you could be different AND successful.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.
