I can't believe that some of you guys are knocking on the Wii for SELLING TOO FAST?! What kind of knock is that?

 

"meh meh meh, its selling too fast so it must be a fad meh meh meh"

 

Sometimes Sony supporters crack me up. Even if Wii slows down and PS3 speeds up in sales 2 years from now, Sony would have to outsell Wii by a factor of like 2:1 for a long time in order to just even up the user base. I personally don't see that happening.

I'm sure that within 3 years, it will be possible to see a $99 Wii, and at that point, it will literally be an impulse buy. And if PS3 doesn't catch up 4 years into the console cycle, its already time to start talking next generation again! I'm sure all the companies are already planning on it. I think Microsoft will try to be out the door first again with its Xbox361, upping the ante and pressuring everyone else to release their next gen stuff too.

 The fad argument is merely the cries of those fanboys who dislike the Wii, it has no actual basis in reality, mostly its due to the fears that the Blue Ocean strategy of Nintendo's will somehow destroy gaming as they know it, its essentially elitism, they like that gaming is a niche media and want to keep it that way, while Nintendo realizes that it cannot remain that way.
