Anyone here still think the Wii is a fad?

Of course the Wii is a fad! There is no doubt about it.

Best proof: my cousin. She never ever bought a console and she never ever thought about buying one either.

But it was her brithday (15) and she wanted to get a Wii, because everybody talked about it and her friends told her how much fun this thing is. Now she got one and it was really fun to play wii at her birthday. We played the two games she received with it, wii sports and a very low-budget German specific game. Okay her birthday ended and the wii has not been used again, except for some times with her friends. She did not buy a game for it either. her birthday is like 6-7 months ago. But if you ask her about the wii she will tell you it is fun to play, still remembering these 4-5 times playing the wii with five or six friends in 7 months. So her friends will pick one up, too. So this fad will last very long. Well the Backstreet Boys were selling unbeliveable amounts of records for 6 years, too.

How can I say this without causing any trouble...?

I like Nintendo, I really do. But the Wii is not a gaming console to me. It is a kids toy. All I can say is congratulation Nintendo for making so much money with such a product.
