The Wii is doing well because it's $250, not because it's so much fun. Is it fun? Yes, but not any funner than past consoles. For example: if the PS3 and XBox 360 were $250, and the Wii was $600, would it still be doing as well as it did? Hell no, people would be claiming PS3 and 360 as the console winners and the Wii as an abyssmal failure.
I give props to Nintendo for seeing this in advance. Sony deserves flak for screwing up the PS3 price but the Wii is simply freaking overrated by a large margin, and this is after playing Wii sports, Zelda, and Red Steel.
