Nintendo knows how to market their shit, I still stand by on how I see it as a secondary machine but they're just tearing up the console wars like no one's bidness
A secondary machine with a basically a slew of minigame releases... but the $250 is an awesome pricepoint.
If the the 360 or the PS3 was at that pricepoint, the Wii would be forgotten to the annals of history, but they hit the sweet spot for the budgeting family...
