Wii sales are not driven by games

Nintendo fans, like yourself, bought the console for the games and would have bought it even if it didn't have motion controls. This thread is about why the Wii has sold so highly so quickly - new gamers. People see the interactive experience offered by the peripherals and want to buy the console. Nintendo have always released quality games, this time they have the peripherals to support sales.

 

 

Actually, the Wii is my first Nintendo console ;) I was mostly a PC gamer before this gen, and only played consoles at friends' places.

The Wiimote definitely got a lot of people into console gaming, but the other peripherals are absolutely secondary to that...
