My girlfriend is a huge Nintendo fan, she got me into the Cube, DS, and the Wii. Before that it was the PC and PS1, eventually the Xbox for me - now I have *everythng* minus the PS3 & Xbox 360. (ie these comments don't come from a "fanboy"of any particular manufacturer) But here is the bottom line..
The Wii DOES NOT play DVDs or is it BluRay... it is fun (even old folks like it) and it is CHEAPER with out all the extras.. I watch DVDs on my DVD player.. not my Xbox.
Wii hits a different demographic for sure, one that may have been overlooked by the other consoles by the look of the sales figures.
Why is everyone so mad about that? Are they afraid that if the PS3 doesn't sell for a million bucks they'll never see another GTA? Every console has its niche... Nintendo just found theirs.
