No. It is selling because of its motion controls.

Just like the NES sold because of its D-pad and two buttons.

Which, of course, translated into games.

Anyway I understand what you mean....It is like some Wii fans just don't care about games anymore but just about sales.

if Michael Jackson sold under 1 million would he be considered the king of pop i seriously doubt that

 

 

 I never heard a Michael Jackson fan say 'OMG Thriller album sold more than 100 million copies' and get wild from it =p.

the point is Michael Jackson is considered the king of pop because of his sales dont get me wrong though his music is legendary but if he didnt sale so well he wouldn't be as popular

 

If this was a site about music the OP would be:

Why do the Mj fans only talk about his album sales and not about his songs? I never heard/read a article about MJ saying 'he is the king of pop because his albums sell well'  Isn't he the king of pop because his songs are great in the first place?

Sony have the same 10 yr strategy as Nintendo did. Be number 1 for 10 yrs and then not be number 1 for 10 yrs

Hey it hurts, i know. Drink whiskey

 



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Interesting. Remember the old controls for the Colecovision and Intellivision.

Nintendo makes gaming more easy simplifying the controls..... is the history a cicle??

"his songs are great in the first place" is your opionion if people didn't buy his albums then his songs wouldn't be considered great since no one likes them

you sale when people like you if people don't like you then how would you be considered the king

Well

Uh

I suppose I can't take it back, so yes! Onward, to madness!

Seriously though it had two useful buttons which were used for gameplay.
