    The GameCube didnt have a widely acclaimed control scheme. If the Wii didnt have the motion sensing, it would be pretty bad off.

    Just imagine where it would be if it had no controller at all. Or if it ran on gas instead of electricity. Or if all its software was embedded in pieces of meat.

    I dont know why you're being like that. I think I made a pretty valid point. The Wii is selling off interactivity more than the games themselves. I think the Wii is very lacking in really great games. Its biggest selling point is Wii Fit right now. Its kind of reminiscent of the GameCube in which it had some big games at first but Nintendo kind of let the major titles wane during its lifetime.

    Fascinating. I've never before heard this argument that the Wii-mote is a gimmick, that Nintendo doesn't have enough 3rd party support, too much shovelware, and they take too long between big franchise games. Please continue.

    Nevermind then. Sorry I got into a bit of a tanget there.. Back to topic now. What effect the release of a PS3 slim with backwards compatability would have on system sales is what im trying to figure out. The Blu Ray advantage is slowly fading away and I dont know if the B/C thing is as important as it was 9 years ago.

    if the wii didn't have motion sensing.. they would have made it a next-gen console with good graphics.. no reason in releasing another gamecube (which it is + motion)
