After all these years, I still don't feel odd asking for Wii games or accessories, and still say screw the haters.
I think they did a great job marketing this console actually. Nintendo used to be synonomous with video games in general, but lost that to Sony during the Playstation era. Now it seems like Nintendo is back on top and Wii is a brand is synonmous with, well, fun! Thats the genius of it too, with the Wii as a brand they've seperated themselves from the other guys and grab the little bit of space left in consumers brains, even if it doesn't completely erase "playstation" or "xbox" completely. When some people think of wii, they don't think JUST videogames, they think of the motion controled thingy thats fun for the whole family. It just stands out more than any playstation ever could.
