But even still, the Xbox... arcade at least has been priced lower than the Wii for over a year, and the only way it has been catching up is that the sales of the Wii are slowing down.
I'm not saying price has nothing to do with it, but people don't seem to realize that the Gamecube launched at a cheaper price than the PS2 and the Xbox and didn't fare nearly as well.
Nintendo placed smart money on the latest graphics not always winning out, and they placed the proof in the box. If not for Wii Sports being a pack-in, I'm certain this generation would have taken on a slightly different shape.
And I can understand from most POV while having the least powerful console win would be a disappointment because you fear that next time around, everyone would take shortcuts, and that very well could happen, but I really don't see MS and Sony releasing the same hardware after such a long period or else they would have made motion controls for their current hardware if that was to be their big push next time around.
