I am more surprised Nintendo hasn't given up yet, Nobody wants these crap systems which are terribly made and not reliable. They would have to do something and announce something besides a new mario to make me excited for one of these.

Yea, I'd think the whole Wii fad is dying down these days... only to be replaced by a slightly higher-tech version Motion Controller craze.

Man, Nintendo really went down the gutter. Do they think it's funny to be 10 years behind on technology?

According to VGChartz, the Wii is still selling significantly more hardware than the PS3 or 360. Yeah, the hardware is crap but they're still selling like hotcakes.

well lets see even if the wii is behind technology-wise it is sold more because it causes people to waggle a remote around and its fun heh while the ps3 came out a year later after them and the 360 was just messed up at launch the wii was reliable and family friendly.
