Are you Drakke #2?? jk, :lol: lol
Nintendo has been around for a very long time. Those people aren't 18 anymore. They're much older, they have jobs, families, and money. The Dreamcast didn't have a wireless pointing controller with motion sensing. It was just another hunk of a controller who followed the trend (d pad + buttons). Nintendo is doing something different, something every different from the other companies. It is a gamble, i admit. But it will go down fighting (that is if it does go down). Nintendo has a huge fan base, both hard core and casual players. There are lots of third party companies that are interested in Nintendos Wiimote and that's a good thing. What makes a good console are players, games, and a solid console. Nintendo has all 3. There have been no overheating issues, no major problems other than a freeze that only occurs on EA's Madden NFL 07 and is EAs fault for bad coding. Nintendo has been around for so long and of course it has a great fan base of many players, both old and new, and hard core and casual. There are people who have enjoyed all of Nintendo's console from Famicom to GC. And there are those who've played them in their childhood and enjoyed it and seeing the Wiimote, might want to get it to enjoy some of their childhood games through VC. The Wii currently has a host of games. Many many games are going to be out for the Wii. From puzzle games (zelda), mini games (rayman), racing games (GT Pro), shooters (red Steel), adventures (zelda), strange wierd ones(Wario Ware, Exciting Witch trial), and casual ones(wii Sports). Along with those games, the Wii also offers popular titles like Zelda. These are just the new games. The Wii also offers games from Nintendo's other consoles through it's VC. So the Wii has plenty of games for everyone. Old ladies may not be playing games right now but that doesn't mean they won't be. When their grand children get it, they might see how fun it is and give it a try. Since the Wii has so many titles to offer, especially the casual games like Wii Sports, there bound to be at least trying it. There are games that don't require lightning fast reflexes or 20/20 vision. Like in Tennis, they just have to watch the ball and wave the Wiimote. No need to learn what button is which and no lightning fast reflexes are needed. The Wii is bound to be one of this years best consoles.
Nintendo has done many things to ensure Wii's victory:
They've got a very interesting controller that has caught the eye of even non gamers. This new controller has caught many peoples attention. They did something different. Something we're not used to seeing and Nintendo is using it to their advantage as shown in their Japanese commercials. It's not just another console, it's a Wii. As with current-gen consoles and last gen consoles, they've used a gamepad: D-pad with buttons and some with joysticks. Even both Next-gen consoles are using the same exact thing, with the exception of the Wii. the 360 has not deviated from this but has at least made their 360 controller much less bulkier and very comfortable (I can attest to that). The PS3 has not changed the model of their controller at all: PS1, PS2, and PS3 all have the same controller. Same D-pad, buttons, and 2 joysticks. The only thing they added was this 'SixAxis' thing which many reviewers said felt cheap and empty. The new Wiimote has gotten very very good reviews. With things like :Heavy, feels comfortable, worth the $40, very precise. This Wiimote is going to change the way gaming is played. (Such as Sony adding in some motion sensing after Nintendo unveiled theirs)
By putting Wii Sports with the console, this allows people to get used to the Wiimote before playing other games. This is very great and makes using the Wiimote less daunting. It gives you an idea and a good grip of how the Wiimote works and stuff. So when you play your other games, you will be more worried about beating the game and maybe learning the new bindings instead of how to use the Wiimote correctly. This helps ensure Nintendo's victory.
With VC and Connect24, they are making the Wii a solid console. VC will appeal to many older gamers who have played games when they were young. At the $250 price tag, why not? But you woulnd't get the Wiimote just for that though. The VC makes the Wii many consoles in one and the games for it are really cheap. Connect24 offers support for games and this will make your Wii experience very very fun. So if there was a major glitch or something related, you wouldn't have to worry about buying a newer version of the game or throwing it away. All you would have to do is wait for the patch, much like PC gaming and the 360. Connect24 also offers new stuff and free online play. Who wouldn't like freebies? Popular games like SSB will be online and, as you can see, there is a lot of hype for it.
As you can see, the Wii is ensured for victory. all these things will become apparent and just wait for the launch date. You will see these things unravel and watch as the PS3 falls and the Wii become the victor.
