That's not to say theirs anything wrong with targeting that segment of consumers, just that it puts you into another sales category.
@1.1: The only good thing about the Nintendo Wii, is the fact that it has replenished Nintendo's vault, and therefore guarantees they will be in the next console race. (I love Nintendo, I really do.) I was worried that they might not of been able to do that on the strength of the Gameboy sales alone. I was concerned there might be some trepidation to re-enter the console market again if the Wii failed.
I'm glad its doing well, (I really am, heck, I own a Wii) but I don't feel it belongs in the Next Generation category.
How about the other way around

Well, hopefully the Wii has longer legs then her career there. She's leaving Nintendo by December...so, she must be pretty convinced about this.
