I think we can reasonably expect Wii Titles to take advantage of the controllers even more as developers learn more.
Yes, thats why I'm eyeing Metroid Prime 3....supposely its going to actually make some good use of the Wii capabilities.
the Wii is a huge commercial success
So was the GameCube when it first came out (not that I'm saying it was a bad system...)
It is expensive and time consuming.
Yet they're still making games and making money, somehow.
are forced to compete on innovation and gameplay
Well, innovation is one thing, but making it better is another. Is waving the remote around neccessarily better? All the kiddies, mothers, sisters, and girlfriends think so, but not all the gamers.
refreshing to see how successful the Wii is proving to be.
Well successful is a relative term. Ninty is always going to make money on their products no matter what, so all of their products can be considered "successful". I think the main question is will they dominate this console generation. Who knows, they just might (only if Eternal Darkness 2 comes out for it...lol)
