XBL isn't the same as it was on the XBOX  , but anyway that was 1 example of the technological advancement that this gen's consoles have experienced. 

 If Nintendo had introduced more expensive hardware as opposoed to a good price point with a fun controler would they be in the same position they are now ? My guess is probably not but this are the kind of question's I wanted to discuss this thread.

 A PS3 that was less technicaly powerfull than the Wii wouldn't play the Java games on my phone. (joke) that question is however kinda dumb in comparison to mine , you'd proly have to try hard to make a cosnole less powerfull than a Wii.

No it's exactly the same question pointed at another console Million.

Wii - motion senser = VGChartz - Sales data

 It's kinda pointless of discussing some one who justifies their points purley with a several words of their own opinion , I think i'll stop now.

Well I don't think so. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing the Wii Wheel or anything, I think using the Wheel will be quite intuitive and could potentially be quite accurate. Just not accurate enough to compete with the precision of a control stick. Anyone who's played Excite Truck will see my point. 

These questions/threads are fuuuuun.

Read: You actually can't find a point in to this question, or my counter question.

If it still had the IR and the two pieces and other features, it might still have some appeal and do better than the GC, but it's unlikely it'd have anywhere near the level of success it's having now without all the mainstream hype it's gotten from Wii Sports and the like.

No wii-mote = gamecube. its that simple.
