"many buy wii because of its controls/wii sports and figure out the games later...they don't go to game sites or compare how many aaa games each console has"
True, on the other hand most people who pay 250$+ for something know what they are buying. (Parents excluded)
"and ps3 won't change anything as long as it keeps those commercials and phrases like 'unleash the beast'"
The same rhetoric didn't seem to hurt the PS2. And yes the Wii has good mindshare at the moment. In the end I think the fabled "casual gamer" is far less important than many here think. The number of playing grannies won't decide the race. In my opinion what really helps the Wii is the superior "multiplayer" experience. The 360/PS3 have too much emphasis on online gaming and completely ignore multiple people before the same console. (Motorstorm without splitscreen WTF). That's something the Wii excels at. On the other hand, that's something the competition can fix.
"u would still blame them for being 'too stupid to predict demand'...u need to learn something about business and supply chain management amongst others"
If you read what I wrote correctly, you will see that I acknowledge that they may make wrong predictions. But after 1-2 years you should be able to meet any demand. The chips/other technology they use are not so sophisticated that they couldn't scale supply up fast. That's the nice thing about capitalism you can get almost ANYTHING for money. Nintendo was just too scared to invest enough. Perhaps because this would lower their margins for each console sold or whatever.
"little big planet, home, etc aren't gonna move the needle"
Now you make predictions without anything to back it up. But we will see.
