Motion plus and things like the swordfighting As for NSMB vs. Galaxy, NSMB is far more accessible than galaxy, and most of the current gamers are proof of Mario's ability to upstream, so many gamers got their start with Mario, they were not upstream when they first loaded up their nes's
No a bridging title is different than a pure upstream title, a bridge title is one that appeals to both the downstream and the upstream and is able to move downstream consumers upstream.
Actually its quite possible that a demanding upstream customer could be swayed by Zelda Wii over TP, TP was a GCN game shifted to Wii, this is very different, and will be built from the ground up to Wii, its a game that could very well give an experience very appealing to the upstream, much more than TP did. And its not just accessibility with the issue of TP, part of the reason for TP's failure was the staleness of the Zelda 3D formula, the whole issue of Zelda Wii is the idea of moving away from that formula that has dominated the other 3D Zelda's, another reason it will likely be more successful in reaching the upstream than TP was.
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
