Oh - I get why it's a success. It's cheaper than a couple nights out on the town, it works well on a group level and it's Nintendo - so kids will eat it up.

I get it.....I'm just not going to get it. I don't even think it should be compared to Xbox360 and PS3 because it's not next-gen. You can't keep go a step backwards in the graphics department and call it an advancement in gaming.

Right about the time people will have flailed their arms about playing every limited kind of game you can play by flailing your arms all over the place - the real next gen systems will be hitting their stride. Basically, Wii = the next Gamecube. But I don't say that as a knock. It will always have a niche market all to itself.
