So Krudus. If someone don't agree if you they should shut up? First of all, I own all three and I must say claiming that nonone will get tired of the controlling method, even if you called it "superior", is just plain dumb. In the end it is just another way of controlling games. It will not make games great by itself. Most of the great games on the DS are not great just because of the stylus, they would have been great with a regular controlloing method also. I personally think it works well in some typs of games and less well in others. I prefer a regular controller for some games and the wiimote for others. But I don't see it as the thing that magically will make every game great.

I see many comparisos between the Wii and the GC. When the GC came it was a lot cheaper than the Xbox and PS2. Everyone expected the GC to if not win at least easily beat the Xbox since people would get it as their second console regardless if they had a PS2 or a Xbox. And the GC sold well (almost as much as the Xbox). however - the problem with the GC as I see it is that it didn't get good third party support and in the end there were a big lack of games. Traveling around in Europe and the US I noticed that GC games where becoming scarce while the Xbox and the PS2 still had big areas in stores. i'm sure this was not so everywhere but in many countries like UK, Germany, Sweden etc. that is what I saw. So while the GC certainly has lots of great games it was loosing out against the quantity of PS2 and Xbox games. in the end. Not the AAA games but the AA and A games.

 I see a risk that it will be the same with the Wii. So far I haven't been that impressed with the non-party type of games. And I certainly haven't been impressed with the third-party games (for instance the Ubisoft games). Yes, there is a opportunity to do innovating stuff with games but how many companies will do it and even more important, how many will manage to do it well? If a large part of the non-Nintendo games are poorly utilizing the Wiimote then in my view it might be hurting the Wii more than helping it.

I also don't know if the demographics that Nintendo has targeted is the one that will buy lots of games. We keep hearing halleluja stories about wifes, familymembers etc. who never play games getting into Wii Sports etc. Let's say a lot of "new"-gamer picks it up. How many games will they keep buying compared to the more hardcore-gamers of the PS3/360?

So, i see a risk the Wii will end up like the GC. Selling a lot of hardware but not managing to sell as much games which in turns makes less third-party developers keen on working on the Wii (regardless if it is cheaper to develop for) which makes even less games come out and so on. A vicious cycle.

In this case I'm "the glas is half empty" kind of guy :). But hey, I think it would be great if it kept suceeding since I first and foremost am a gamer and want the best games on all plattforms.
