Yeah, the fad has got to end eventually. The non-hardcore gaming customers only represent 90% of the population.

The only thing that is a fad are those ignorant enough to believe Wii is a fad.

This is trolling because that statement is unfounded and meant to incite anger in people who disagree with you.  You could easily have civilly said that you think that it's popular amongst a non-gaming crowd who won't have the attention span to stay with it, but by specifically calling out grandmas and soccer moms, you're attempting to ridicule those gamers who do play wii.

these forcasts are for 5 and 6 years away. Nintendo hasnt won yet. You gotta wait for this wii fad to wear off. Only so many grandma's, physical therapy clinics, soccer moms, and people who just got to have the latest fad will be buying Wii's. The wii wont have a 5-6 year lifespan, much less a 9-10 year lifespan the ps3 will have.

 Joke post?

This is what happens when you look at nothing but raw sales and assume the next series of products will be unchanged.

This is also happens when one of the three brands starts innovating.



There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.
