Wii: A wolf in sheep's clothing
Interesting article on the Wii and Nintendo's business model. Obviously a pro Nintendo site but its a long and interesting read as to what is wrong with the Sony and MS business model and why the Wii will be successful.
It actually points out that Nintendo is not the one desperate for next-gen to succeed but rather Sony and MS. Nintendo always makes money, even if profits are reduced. MS lost 4 billion on the XBox and are searching for ways to make money outside of Windows and Office in a drying up PC market. Sony is desperate to have Blue Ray succeed and turn around declining fortunes. Hadn't thought of it like that.
