Wii killing controller in 2008?

[ookaze]

What?
"Wii killing" what?
Some people decidedly never learn, and will never understand. It's amazing really, cognitive dissonance at its best.
I don't even need to talk about the controller. People are so focused on the controller, but I repeat, how can you "kill" anything if you don't understand it? Especially when you will see it rise immediately back and get at you?
It seems there are people that actually believe that if MS makes a new motion sensing controller for free, they will get the Wii wanters with an XB360 Arcade?
Who in his right mind believe that people will fall for:
- a console with a complicated name when they asked for the Wii
- a big box with a big power brick when they asked for a classy Wii
- a noisy box when they asked for a quiet Wii
- a game that will most likely be crappy and without any Mii, when they asked for a Wii which comes with Wii Sports
Who?

That doesn't make any sense to me. People that are looking for the Wii killer are missing the point as much as people that are looking for the iPod killer. There are tons of things to fix before the competition can even think of doing damage to them.
Sony's attempt is downright irrelevant as it goes completely unnoticed... fortunately for them, unless they push Wii domination even more.
Better hope that MS attempt goes unnoticed too, unless they see Wii domination increasing even faster, without understanding why.

It's actually funny, because you can see another huge cognitive dissonance in all this (denial if you prefer). There are two actually:
- people say Wii will die if it doesn't do HD, but Nintendo isn't doing anything to go HD and is crushing the competition. These people just refuse to acknowledge all the other things that make the Wii a success (except price, as it seems even cognitive dissonance can't bypass that)
- people still think of the Wiimote as a fad, but look thoroughly for any news about the competition doing a wiimote like to then "kill" the Wii

This is so funny :))
