FAD: a temporary fashion, notion, manner of conduct, etc., esp. one followed enthusiastically by a group -- dictionary.com

Thus, anyone who says it is a fad that does not fade is contradicting themselves.

The Wii is not trying to be the same as the other two consoles. And a lot of people recognize that and accept it for what it is and have fun.

Anyone still thinking the Wii will fade because it is a fad is delusional.

So by definition the PS3 is a fad?

Boy will I eat it for saying that....

Sorry about that. I haven´t seen one for a while now and I thought it fitting to bring up the subject again since we´ve entered a new year and can look back with a perspective now with more than two full years of Wii/PS3 in the market.

Also if you don´t like the subject in this thread you can always choose to ignore it?

At least I didn´t create a "PS3 is doomed" thread that pisses of so many on this site.

Really!? Maybe that´s why I like it here do much.

But really I meant to discuss the topic in this thread seriously and if somebody finds it uninteresting I can´t help that. I think it has a value to discuss about.

The Wii's lifecycle should be at least 5 years which is acceptable in terms of a console. I mean even though the Saturn and Gamecube didn't exactly have long lifespans, they aren't really viewed as fads. They were legitimate systems. The 3D0 on the other hand, I can't say the same thing for.

You're right. My apologies. It's just that this subject has been beaten to death since the Wii has been released.

Yes. I do think that some people still think that the Wii is a fad. In a sense it is. It won't be popular ten years from now. It will be like disco.
