Consoles and handhelds are a fad, because there is always something new to replace it. PS2, great that it has sold for 10 years, but ten years is nothing. You could consider that to be a fad. A fad It can go either way. If something sells 50 million units in one year and thats it, is that a fad, for some people yes and for others its not. Its a tough sell.


Not really, just takes some common sense to figure out if something was selling due to hype and a "craze", when interest fades and diminishes quickly, then yeah it was more than likely a craze.

Like I said earlier, 360 has never been a massive craze and more than likely peaking in it's sixth xmas season means it's certainly never been a fad or a craze.

You just sound mortified and utterly offended Wii could ever be accused of being a fad, but since when did something being a fad be a bad thing?

Like I've said before, I'm undecided right now, if it tails off fast though, it's kinda obvious.
