curl-6 said: "Fads" all spread by people introducing it to others, it's how they become as such. Wii would have been doing 2012 numbers in 2010 if it were truly a fad. The hallmark of a fad is very brief lifespan. Wii wasn't short-lived, it lasted the normal amount of time for a video game console. Nintendo's systems have pretty much always targeted a 5-6 year lifespan. Wii actually lasted longer than, say, GBA or N64. |
Motion controls is the fad, the Wii was a games console, not "motion control", unless you are trying to argue that the Wii had nothing besides motion control to maintain sales.
