Fad simply means Craze... a fad could last a decade, remember the boyband of the late 80 and early 90s?

Yes, I think it's a fad, because I think it's doing better than it really deserves to. Same reason I think Ipod is a fad.

This. Actually, truth be told, I can't stand floor lamps. They're just gimmicks compared to the overhead light. Floor lamps are fads.

 

 

did I say anything about me "can't stand"? or the fact it's "gimmicky"???

All I said was, it is doing better than it deserves to be. hence, the sales is not driven by quality, but by hype. Same goes with boybands and ipod

 

Question. Is the Playstation 3 doing better or worse than it "deserves" to do, according to your preception?

Question 2. Did Nintendo make a mistake, taking a chance at making a change in gaming?

Question 3. Is the DS also doing better than it deserves to be doing?

Question 4. Are you biased against the Wii or the DS for any reason, or are you biased for Sony?

Question 5. Do you believe that gaming is a fad?

Question 6. Did you think the Wii WOULD be a fad early on, and in that meaning, did you think its sales would die off rather quickly?

 

@OP

The answer to your question, you already wrote in your topic called, "Why do we hate n00bs on the internet" or some such jargon. Found here:

Answering questions like "Yes the Wii is a fad no matter how much it sells" is why.

hmm, missed this one.

1. PS3 is selling like it should, it's High Price is holding it back, time will tell. So, the answer is. No, it's not undersold, nor is it 'hyped'

2. Did Nintendo make a mistake? there's no such thing as 0 mistakes, but profitablity means success

3.. Yes

4.. This topic isn't even about Sony, I suppose it speaks more about yourself than me.

5... I believe certain type of gaming is fad. Mini games and FPS to list 2 examples

6... define "die off quickly".. do you mean 2 years? or 4? No, it is unlikely to die off quickly.
