In a lot of ways I think the Wii was the "Trumpiest" of consoles.
Taken not seriously at introduction for not being a serious console & sorely underpowered compared to its competitors.
Casuals latch on to the message and gobble it up, catching everyone by surprise, while the "establishment" consoles (Xbox 360/PS3) witness its meteoric rise.
Nintendo sees Xbox 360 & PS3 as "not competition" mostly because they're blowing them out of the water in sales.
Well we know where the Wii ended up. Does that mean we can extrapolate political outcomes?
Wii becomes number one with sports games and fitness. But after a few years, a lack of quality, substantive titles and a flooding of cheap party game collections causes interest to dry up.
Wii U is released far later than it should have to maintain interest but with a promise of the perfect marriage of core and casual, only to completely flop because of an even sparser release schedule and a flooding in the one genre with quality releases: platformers.
People tire of both platformers and the Wii/Wii U and gamers pin their hopes on the next election cycle and the mysterious candidate known as the NX. No one knows if this NX is of the Grand Old Console Party or the Hip and forward thinking Handheld Party. All the while the Hybrid Coalition of Systems holds out that their party is finally doing to receive some much needed time in the spotlight of gaming politics.
