Then everything out there is a fad, because they all peak some time or another. Fad, i hate that word because its used each year on the Wii. It was a fad in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 so far. Its getting to be a big joke year after year.

"A fashion that is taken up with great enthusiasm for a brief period of time; a craze."

Again, not saying the Wii is a fad at all, but if it's sales do nosedive over the next year or so, then yeah it was a craze.

PS2 is a prime example of a product doing well but sustaining it over a long period of time, rather than a short burst. I know 4 years might sound long to you, but it's not really ..

...And yet Wii is still outpacing the PS2.

You gotta look at it in relative terms. Wii is in decline, but that's because its numbers were SO insanely high that now it has nowhere to go but down. Conversely, PS3's numbers were very weak initially, so it's much easier for the PS3 to have higher YoY numbers.

At the end of the day, Wii has still outsold its nearest competitor by 30 million. So whether or not it's a "fad" or a "craze," it's still a craze that won this generation.
