Wii Most Popular Gaming Console of All Time?

[wraggster]

When the Nintendo Wii goes on sale in the US on November 19, it's certain to be popular. But some are even more enthusiastic about its chances for success, including Hirokazu Hamamura, president of Tokyo-based video-game researcher Enterbrain Inc. and Editor-in-Chief of Famitsu, a highly-regarded and influential gaming mag in Japan. He gushed about the upcoming $250 console in an interview with Bloomberg.com:

"Wii definitely could become the most popular console of all time. Non-gamers can see how fun it is just by looking at people playing it, and that's very different from the PS3 or Xbox 360.''
Sure, the Wii is going to be a good value for the money, but is Hamamura overstating it a bit? Comments?

I think there right it definitely has potential to become the most popular console off all time.

YES IT WILL!!!!! OBEY THE WII OR DIE!!!! :D

I think it has huge potential.

I honestly have more fun playing most n64 games over xbox games (aside from halo because FPS are better with 2 analogs) which reinforces in me the idea that it isnt all about graphics.

I would much rather play through Zelda: TP and have online Mario Kart than play Gears of War. To me xbox 360 and ps3 are the same experience that we had in the last gen. N64 to GC was a leap because of optical technology and 2 analogs, while xbox to 360 doesnt really have a huge update. They are both even DVD media...
