Spinoff, just look at the DS. People said that was just a gimmick and wouldn't be ableto compete with the PSP. Not only does the system have great and original games, but it is easily beating the PSP in every market (except for South Korea). Speaking of the Wii, why have you not added me to your address book yet?
The handheld industry is a market Nintendo have controlled for ages and has a lower average gamer age. The console market is a market Sony has been controlling and the average gamer age is a lot higher than handhelds. In order for Wii to sell they need to take away from the Sony crowd and right now it is Microsoft that will be doing that if Sony sales drop. There are just to many things going against Wii to pull in the mainstream casual gamers so once you get past the initital loyal Nintendo fans or the "hardcore" gamer Nintendo could easily start to struggle.

Also if anything DS proves my point about what the Wii controller will become. A lot of DS games don't even use the stylus, some do but basically just use it to click on something during a conversation or other minor ways and some use it a lot but it is getting to the point where it is stuff you have already done in other DS games. But like I said this is fine for DS since it is a market Nintendo control and also works better the normal way than I see the Wii working. The classic controller isn't bad though so if games use that it could work but again the controller is really all Wii has going for it over the other consoles.

I don't want Nintendo to fail since as a company I still like them and after the disaster that was the Gamecube I do feel the Wii is a step back in the right direction but I just don't see it doing well in a couple of years.

As for adding you I am not sure if you posted your code here and can't see threads on JVN anymore so I think I will need your code again since I never wrote it down. Been playing SVR07 so much that my Wii has been getting neglected
