So someone, please tell me why people think the Wii is some kinda reigning champ thats going to run away
with the title this generation. To me these numbers show that too many Wii owners are casual gamers that arent going to drive the Wii to longterm success. It shows
that the wii was a hot fad last year and lots of people are already losing interest and just going to buy the
big releases (mario galaxy, smash bros, metroid, zelda) but not support 3rd parties and thus not support
the platform as a whole. Its actually on track to follow the N64, funny how some people say the opposite,
that the PS3 is going down the N64 pathway.
