I literally blew the dust off my Wii yesterday - when will we get something new and decent to play? But maybe I'm missing the point. Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America's President, argues that the Wii is not only a gaming console but something that bridges the digital divide.
(The Wii) is a conscious move into "white space"--in this case, that sizable gap between technophiles and technophobes where consumers just want an understandable way to catch up with the times.
Reggie has a point. The Wii has been a huge sales success since launch - just getting hold of the thing is a game in itself. But what about Nintendo's core audience? What about releasing something decent for those of us who actually want to play more than just Wii Sports when the relatives are over? It looks like being a long hot summer until Mario Galaxy and Kart hit later this year. For now my Wii is in semi-hibernation. How's yours bearing up?
