Now we have two reasons to try and avoid the zombie apocalypse: the collapse of civilization, and Nintendo coasting even further on the Wii.

Never had a wii, always seen it as a one trick pony that would get boring after a few days. I was probably right.

Doesn't matter what system they make IMO, if they continue making (and having 3rd party companies make) games like they do, their market will continue to sell mostly to young kids and older adults. That might not be a completely bad thing as they seem to be making a ton of money off of it, but it will be less than they would be making if they had more games targeting all ages.

The real problem with the Wii, is that the developers are bunch of morons for it. They dont make good games. Theres a couple of exceptions, but other than that, they just make cheap games that they can pump out in a year and dont need to spend time planning..

Time to release a new addon or a new colour. That'll drive up sales again!

Seriously, I'm sure they'll end up releasing the black Wii this holiday season. I actually thought they would have already released new colors here in the States but I think new colors will definitely boost their sales.
