its a fact that fads could sell for years do your research. i think the best option for nintendo is becoming a third party, since no third party are willing to supprt them anymore.

You obviously didn't do YOUR RESEARCH

The difference between a fad and a trend is the period of time. Would you consider the CD storage a fad ? Obviously not because it became obsolete by DVDs. 

Would you consider the classic "pet rock" example as a fad ? Absolutely because the demand for it didn't last more than 3 MONTHS. 

What makes the WII similar to the "pet rock" in this case ? It's not similar AT ALL. 


its funny that article mentions the Hula hoop as a fad, yet it sold 24 million in it's first 4 months and 100 million in 2 years, thank you. yet your main point was that fads can't sell for years.
