^so just the games huh? do you think the Wii would have dominated without the wiimote/balance board? Do you think it would have been just as succesful if it had launched at $500? Don't you think the Nintendo brand helped in any way and their strategies, marketing? c'mon, don't be so simple-minded.
You think the Gamecube didn't have as many great games as the Wii has today? heck, the Gamecube even had better "hardcore" third-party support. The so-called great games you talk about that made Nintendo succesful today came not before they had to redesign their strategy, innovate with new hardware, focus in a new demographic. They created the games, but the games alone wouldn't do it without the whole Wii motion/casual friendly concept. They have satisfied the needs of a large untapped audience with the right games AND hardware, both are equally important.
