Wii is the new Atari!! When I was a very young kid - everyone had an Atari in their house because it was easy to play and the whole family could get into it. Over the years consoles have got more and more hardcore with the amaount of buttons, analogue controls, analogue buttons, shoulder buttons, triggers etc it's too much.
Nintendo have made a huge statement and got it back to old skool with new motion controls - people didn't mind the old Atari's limitations decades ago and they see past it with the Wii also, xmas my parents, my wifes parents, my brother, my wife and I met up for a family xmas when i'd got the Wii.
By February - all 3 households had a Wii and my wifes 2 brothers are also after one, too right there's a new generation and trust me, they will never upgrade to xb360, ps3 etc
Those people that think they're perfect give a bad reputation to us who are...
"With the DS, it's fair to say that Nintendo stepped out of the technical race and went for a feature differentiation with the touch screen, but I fear that it won't have a lasting impact beyond that of a gimmick - so the long-lasting appeal of the platform is at peril as a direct result of that." - Phil Harrison, Sony
