Over the past few months Nintendo has been enjoying great success and popularity with the introduction of the Wii. To me, this success is mainly due to the innovative Wii-mote which explores a whole new level of interactivity with games and takes gaming in a whole new direction. This has got me wondering though. Would Nintendo be enjoying the same level of success and popularity if they had released the Wii-mote as just a peripheral for the Gamecube? Could Nintendo not achieve most, if not basically all, of the same functionality as the Wii, with a Gamecube and Wii-mote combo?

If Nintendo couldn't have achieved similar success/results without introducing the Wii with the Wii-mote, then what other factors are contributing to the Wii's success?

Je crois que tout est dit, tu as très bien cerné le problème.
