Hopefully we're not going to lay down the law according to a satirist (oh and I still love Zero Punctuation). The Wii by definition cannot be a gimmick, but the plastic peripherals like the Wii Zapper and Wii Wheel definitely are. That's the rawest definition of what a novelty item is, and too many try to discredit the Wii with those remarks. Wii Fit is simply a tracking device intended for serious use. I don't want it, nor am I interested in it, but I cannot try and discredit it because of my indifference. The Wii is my least favourite Nintendo console yet I still can't try to discredit its success with something so vague.






Personally, I think the whole concept of the wii is novel, which is what sells it.
