The Vitality Sensor is a joke right now. Have to see how they use it before we can tell if it's the next Wii Fit or the next Wii Music.

It's neither. The Vitality Sensor is a peripheral. The other two are games.

Well, it's obviously going to be bundled with some kind of software. That software will be the deciding factor in it's success is what I'm saying.

Correct. However the fallacy of your argument is including Wii Music. Wii Music was a standalone game. It wasn't bundled with a peripheral. In fact any game that has bundled with a peripheral from Nintendo hasn't sold less 4 million copies. So it begs to wonder whether Wii Music itself would have sold so poorly had it not been wrapped around the idea of a unique peripheral.

Sadly, it probably will. Then, a full controller will cost half as much as the system.

I also think it will. And also think it will set a sad precedent for controller prices.

Gah. "Buy a wii for only 200$! (Includes half a controller)"



And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

Nintendo knows what they are doing. They can detect the pulse of the mainstream.

What he means is that since Nintendo doesn't package it's peripherals with the Wii even though they also don't package the software they're made to function with, it's technically half a controller. It's like how those of us that already own a 360 or PS3 only own half a controller because secondary controllers made to be used in the future aren't packaged in with our consoles.
