The system is 18 months old, bleu-ocelot. The novelty argument died a long time ago.

 

The Wii didn't get popular and start selling like crazy till like the middle of last year if i recall.

You recall poorly.


 

Thats fine if im wrong but how about something to back up your statement and I still think that the novelty will not last forever.

1. Once the novelty does wear off, we'll still have a solid library of games to fall back on. 

2. The novelty has lasted nearly 18 months so far and shows no signs of abating. If Nintendo gets another year or two of strong sales out of a system that people insist was out of date in 2005, while pocketing $50 off each console sold and more off each piece of software, I think they'll be more than happy.

3. By this point, Nintendo will be ready to unveil their new system (the Nintendo Yoo), which will likely have millions of Wii owners lining up to start the process anew.
