the only thing the Wii has going for it is it's cheap price and novelty. I don't think people are going to like using the wii-mote controller the way it was intended in the long run.. I guess time, and repetitive stress injuries will tell.
Not to mention the alienation of the physically handicapped!
*ahem* .. the playstation brand broke 100 million units in 2005 I believe.... and I thought that was a 'combined' number. Interesting trivia tho.. in the 1st year the PS2 was out, it was outsold by the redesigned PSONE. So there IS a market for the not latest technology... but a part o me likes to believe that was assisted by the fact that people wouldn't lose their software investments when they finally moved on to the PS2.
it's going to be interesting, this next round... things are definitely going up a notch or two.... actually, it's already been going on without sony's participation. Too bad I so badly hate the xbox controller.
