[citation][nom]killerclick[/nom]Lucked out, are you serious? Some serious engineering and decision-making went into producing and marketing the Wii and (anecdotal evidence aside) the market has spoken: Nintendo made all the right moves this time out. You can't argue with their profits.[/citation]
Serious engineering my ass. They stuffed an overclocked Gamecube into a Wii shell, bundled an infrared sensor bar (which isn't even built-in to the system itself, by the way), and gave us a remote as a controller.
Serious engineering? Please.
And I can argue with their profits. In accounting, we have a term called 'going concern'. I would not drop money on Nintendo right now because their profitability is not sustainable when there's an exodus of high-value gamers (read: hardcore) from their platform. These are the people who buy tons of games and keeps the money flowing in. Not the ones who leave their system collecting dust behind the TV stand.
Quit fanboying and learn to think.
