It has a lot of hype and a good marketing scheme. It attracts a large demographic, including a lot of people that wouldn't normally play games. However, almost everyone I know, ranging from people my age (mid 20s), to kids, to adults 40 and above who have the Wii, all of them stop playing it within a few months because they get over the whole "gimmick". I haven't touched mine in about a year now. The DS on the other hand...that's pretty killer. Sorry but the Wii stinks. It has a lot of hype and a good marketing scheme.

Why isn't Nintendo producing more machines to meet the obviously high demand. I have never seen a Wii actually in stock at a Target, Wal-Mart or even Fry’s.

If Windows has the majority share of the OS market whatever Apple releases will get owned by Windows 7, thus it will own '09. And not only that, with the praise it has garnered it's pretty certain that it will do bettr than Vista, which already has about 45% market share I believe. And if it fares as well as analysts have predicted there's no doubt that MS will make it their flagship for a while until it is widely adopted before releasing a newer OS. On to Nintendo...the gaming arena is what they were always good at and their innovation has showed us why. I'm glad they're doing so well. It will be interesting to see how well they fare when the PS3 gets the $100 price cut and the 360 gets the $50 cut in the upcoming months. In a recessive era I believe price is a very big factor in their astounding numbers as the Wii and DS cost less than the competition. @ dario9 What you just said seems like an oxymoronice statement.

Just because crap moves fast doesn't make it smells any better. Windows in 2009? Wishful thinking. Just like the Mac taking a majority share of the desktop OS market. Somethings will always remain marginal at best. And yes, this also applies to Windows. And out 15,000 apps probably a hundred or so are actually worth the download just like the Palm and WinMo.
