Here’s a good question

Here’s a nice little take on the gaming console situation.

I seriously doubt that the unavailability of a Wii will substantially boost the overall sales of a PS3 like another purchase price cut would. I still think comparing the Wii to any other gaming console is like comparing apples to oranges. Nintendo created a niche in the console market, making a more physically interactive video game experience. Past Nintendo products like the Power Pad, Zapper, and Super Scope was just foreshadowing. As advanced as console games have become, the best the other manufacturers could do was allow communication via a headset, a vibrating controller, a miniature plastic simulated guitar with buttons on it, and a pad to play a dancing game on. I feel compelled to go by Dance, Dance Revolution right now. *shaking head right to left*
