If people still use the Wii in 10 years it will be because of the games
being fun, not because of the controller. I still fire up my Playstation 1
even with the dated graphics because the games are fun, same with my C64.
How many people bother with the 3DO these days after the CDROM gimmick got
old?
Yeah, but the Wii is essentially a fad.
What video game isn't?
