Guess the Wii's triumf wasn't as good as they though, lol. I wonder what Nintendo is going to do next?

I see it as the Wii is out of ammo, and the 360 is only holding a last stand in the US.

Lets hope it pushes some console sales too. SBB is a game for the ninty fans to play not my sort of game. They're buying WiiFit only to store it away after a couple of days. Isn't WiiSports bundled with the Wii-mote? And more crappy training games which makes seem the DS and Wii is only about.
