Quote:Alright, but to my main point: Either Nintendo has a fanatical following, parents purchase Nintendo's for their kids because of it's "kid-friendly" allure, or it's low price point appeals to more people, because this console war has Nintendo sitting FIRMLY at the top of the ladder.
Bingo! Sony and Microsoft priced themselves so much outside the market (while still losing money on the consoles themselves) that the result of this round of console wars was hardly surprising. The motion sensing thing is secondary.
Which is going to be interesting when Sony and Microsoft drop their own motion sensing tech into the market. As long as the Wii keeps being much cheaper, that tech is going to do diddly squat. Because that's not the issue.
