That´s the problem with being trendy and cool - when you try it hardest you aren´t cool at all
The whole marketing-campaign sounds as if Nintendo has no arguments left.
The controller is of course an important part of the whole console but it´s not the reason why someone buys a certain product. Nintendo has made numerous errors since their snes-reign and if there hadn´t been the Game Boy and Pokemon they would have endured the Fate of Sega by now. I really wish Nintendo the best of luck cause a competition between Sony and Microsoft alone would be somewhat boring

Who ever said Nintendo was trendy and cool? Nintendo is unpopular, Sony and Microsoft are trendy and cool... Nintendo just thought too much about the name when they had a perfectly decent codename they could've made official.

Nintendo as a videogames company has made many error long before the SNES, they made quite a few in the NES era as well and it's not just the Game Boy and Pokemon that's keeping Nintendo afloat. Nintendo is the only one of the three hardware companies that is VERY successful with its first party titles. Mario sells, Zelda sells, Metroid sells, Kirby sells... etc etc, and they have a lot of those first party franchises to fall back on. And yes while Pokemon and the Game Boy series are both very strong, just letting you know that it's more than that.


But either way, I can't imagine anyone actually going into a videogame store and asking to purchase a Wii... When I go in I'll be saying "Gimme my Revolution!"
