I think the Wii had a good idea. Simply throwing new hardware at the console industry isn't particularly going to make games any more "fun" to play. However, once the novelty of the Wiimote wears off, you'll find that the original console style will appear to most gamers. Outgoing, active people who've never played a game in their life, as well as older people such as parents, will probably still find the Wii fun.

My dad was actually considering buying a Wii for the living room so that we could have some fun as a family, until he saw the article on the wrist straps and didn't fancy someone putting a Wiimote through the £1,500 TV.

I will buy a PS3 when I can afford it. Although I am p*ssed at the fact most of my good PS2 games won't run on it.

(For now, I'd say the Wii has was the console war simply because it's had the most sales to date.)
