I have to agree with 'your mother'.
Wii is already at a point where profit can be made by 3th party devs... And with demand so high it will reach the magic point of no return in a matter of months.
Wii will outsell the Gamecube and probably will outsell the N64. That means it's a succes for Nintendo and with the wii already making profit there's more money in the bag for the 8th round.
Now i hear Davygee saying: It's worser looking graphics will be Wii's downfall in the end. Well, i have to disagree: With the wii widening the market (casual and non-gamers stuff) they are reaching out to people who really don't care.
Like my family, they saw me X360 when i was playing GoW... and thought, that looks so real but then again, didn't feel like; 'Ow, thats interesting to me, i wanna have it' But if you let em play Wii sports they are all like, where can i buy it, how much does it cost and stuff... They don't care, the graphics are good enough. And the fun you can get out of it will make sure lots and lots of 'normal' people will pick the system up sooner or later. And by that time, it will have reach a point in sales from where it can sell through enough software to keep support up, making sure the system will endure for at least 5 years.
The same is happening to DS, we have 2 DS's at home, one is for me and my brother, the other is for my parents... And they bought it because they liked brain training and stuff... Almost NO single adult or 'non-gamer' cares about HD-tv's/Blu-ray/HD-graphics/Real time physics...
All they want is fun and believe it or not, they will have it the most with Nintendo Wii.
