kingofwale you do realize you just noted that PS3 isn't worth it's current price yet it's selling how it is is where it should be at that price.

ok joking >.> but I didn't put any words into your mouth before... you claimed I did. Where did I? I don't normally give other people definitions.

Oh, right. So a company makes a slim version of their console, that will obliterate Wii sales? One question, what are you smoking, and where can I buy it? Because it's obviously some good sh*t. Slim PS3? Reduced Wii price. BAM! B*tch

I wasn't... Damn...

Am I OP? Will, I was hoping it wouldn't fail... Just like my Global Warming thread... I was wrong there too...

Dammit. Am I too late?

I really don't care if it's a fad or not, as long as the Wii sells millions and millions of consoles and games until the next "Wii" console.

But one think is for sure, Nintendo laughs all the way to the bank.

unlike the others.

For me wii is a fad.

The wii may not seem like a fad right now, but what happens to sales hypothetically, when the next gaming console aimed at casuals is released by a brand like Apple? I can see Apple's console challenging the wii's dominance, as the majority of the wii's consumers gravitate toward the new hip thing. Does it become a fad then? You won't get this type of problem with the Playstation or the Xbox because they're both geared toward the hardcore gamers; People who actually buy consoles for the games.

Yes.Its a fad.

It could last many years and win the generation.

But next generation would be the wiimote + better graphics ,sound ,IA,storage etc.

So the technological progress would follow its pre-Wii path leaving the Wii ideas (innovative control + not so great graphics and sound) as a fad.


I am not sure if people are really liking the Wii.Most people I know with the console play Wii Sports ,some other are buying it for Wii Fit to get fit (poor people if only they knew) and some other to their children to play "safe child games" without violence(if only they knew about Mad World ,RE4 ,Manhunt 2 they would sell it as soon as possible) because the perceived child-friendly image.All of these buy the machine ,play the Wii Sports and maybe Wii Fit ,get several Wii Plays to have more controllers ,maybe they get one more game ....and then it starts collecting dust.

But there are so many unaware customers in that blue ocean Nintendo has found that it can keep selling hardware like mad for enough time to win the war.

ahh the old collecting dust comment....still the same old fanboy comment against the Wii.


Guess we have different kind of friends beacuse their Wii sure as hell don't collect dust.
