Nintendos weakest console game library for a platform that relies on a gimmick (excluding the Virtual Boy), yet it's their best selling console, and sales after 4 years have plummeted. Falls very closely in line with the definition of fad.
I much prefer the Wii Us gimmick of being able to play my videogames anywhere in the house on that tablet as its practical, but I'm pretty sure it won't sell as much as the Wii. |
The definition of a fad is a short-lived craze. It's their best selling console and its decline has been consistent with the normal lifespan of the average console...how is it a fad again? At this point in its life you can't even say it has a weak library either, and there's many quality games on it that don't even require motion controls.

I'm well aware of what a fad is. If the Wii can sell as well as the PS2 currently is more than 10 years into its lifecycle i'll revoke my statement.
|
So now, to not be a fad, the Wii has to sell as well as the best selling console of all time? You can't be implying that any console that doesn't reach PS2 level success is now deemed a fad.

Of course not. Anything that sells insanely well initially and then sells less than its two competitors for nearly 2 years straight, then sure i'd qualify it as a fad. I'm honestly surprised people are adamant that the Wii wasn't a fad when the PS3 and 360 hammer it sales every week now. People are aware the 360 is one year older than it right?
