technology as in the wii's case isnt measured in graphics or movie watching. it is in gameplay and the games that everyone can play. tech has hit a wall to the point where only the hardcore gamers that loves fantastic looking games would much rather spend 500 on a pc then 500 on the ps3. i can have a custom pc built for 750 that can have graphics better then ps3, i can watch movies, surf the net, play online games, listen to music and all that for really really low prices compared to spending more and more money on expensive controllers, memory cards, and omg 30 dollar blue ray movies. next gen if they keep advancing in tech like they have this gen then games themselves will be at minumum 80 bucks a game for those machines compared to 50. so yeah that is why the wii is selling so well is cause price and fantastic games that everyone can pick up and play.

That's something Microsoft probably secretly wants.

If the entry cost of console gaming comes too close to the entry cost of computer gaming, all of a sudden a new computer starts looking really attractive.
