Why the Wii is winning

This Christmas I took my Wii home for the family to enjoy. Every day large groups of people would gather around it and play it. The family loved playing the sports games and those that didn't want to play loved to watch it. For hours on end my entire extended family would sit there and play. Even my 93 year old grandma and 70 year old aunt played it. After I left my uncle (50ish) and my brother (39) both immediately went out and bought one. In addition my 70 year old aunt also wants to go buy one....

This system has an amazing pull to non-traditional gamers that is making it out pace other system sales. It will be interesting to see how this effects the types of games that come out for the Wii. Already many games are loaded with mini-games and some games are nothing but mini-games. For example we bought Raving Rabbids 2 last week and the family couldn't stop laughing while playing that game. Also the game is the best party game I have found so far for the Wii and i'm tempted to go buy the first one because I hear it is just as good.

Right now the games list for the Wii is pretty small and there aren't a lot of big hitters out there. If the mass of new games draws in more developers the 360 and ps3 are both going to have a lot of trouble catching up to the sales of this console.
