No, its not marketing, its the fact that the Wii is a new market disruption within gaming, Nintendo didn't have to invent motion controls, they just used it in an innovative manner with the right software which appealed to nonconsumers

Well, yeah it's disruption....but the disruption was SIGNIFICANTLY fueled by the brilliant product positioning (ie marketing) of the system. That is indisputable IMO.

Not really, unless you count word of mouth as Nintendo marketing, its actually consumers and the media that pushed the Wii, not Nintendo
