Well overall I can't say the Wii has had a huge impact on the game industry at large.

It has not become the defacto PS2 successor as many had predicted 2 years ago as the majority of the PS2 franchises have stayed clear of the Wii

Why would PS2 sales migrating to Nintendo be a large impact? It would mean this generation having the same games as the last. That would be a kind of status quo. Personally I think the impact is still happening, look at Natal and PS3 Glowball Stix (tm). Look at the way the industry has reacted to the 'threat' of the Wii. The turmoil amongst journalists, the flailing around by companies to find an audience (EA's ridiculous all-play marketing, for example) is evidence of the disruption.

That is evidence of a disruption in sales/business.  I guess I more wanted to see a revolution in games/gameplay.

 

I'm still controlling Mario and Link with a joystick and buttons.  And I'm perfectly okay with that... but it's not a Revolution.

Wii Sports I view as a tech demo. 

 

 

 

*sigh* Thats it for me then. Everyone still dont get it. Lets include Link's crossbow training, Wii play and WSR in the mix too.
