I'm saying there is no chance the Wii could fail. The console was sold at a profit from day one and Nintendo has probably the strongest selling library.

The motion controls are the same technology as a mouse pointer. I bet they came up with the idea during a Power Point presentation. The innovative idea was making it detect waggling. The Wiimote is fine gadget and they've milked it very well. But no matter how amazing the control is I much prefer a superior library which both HD consoles offer.

 

 Thats easy to say for us today but for Ninty it wasn´t that easy even if they were pretty sure about it.

Motion controll for the Wii wasn´t that easy to get it to work they spended more then 10 years on the ideai and to make it work. First mention about the revolution was in the early 90´s and thats how long they worked on it b4 releasing it.

Granted the plan was to release with/during hte gamecube era but the sales were probably not good enough for them to chance on i then and they choose to continue to perfect it and serve it with the Wii as the main dish.

Well I'm debating about the friggin control. I agree Nintendo marketed it very well and I don't know why you keep bringing it up. I just feel this is the first generation the masses chose the console with the weakest library. That's my opinion and I don't care if you disagree.

And Nintendo was playing it safe by releasing a cheap console that was sold at a profit. This atleast helped guarantee they wouldn't lose money.
