Reuters recently published an article where they took a look at the Wii's position going into the holiday shopping season. They assume that Nintendo is banking on the novelty of the Wii's control scheme as being its primary point of appeal, however they state that they believe without the proper software line-up constantly raising the bar in utilizing the console's unique attributes, it is doomed to failure.Isn't that the whole lesson learned from the GameCube, though? We look at Nintendo's launch window line-up, third party support and technological advancements of the new console and see plenty of selling points beyond the fact that movement in reality can be mimicked in-game and feel that if developers didn't have plenty of ideas, they wouldn't be pledging so much support to the console. Regardless of how you think Reuters comes off, it's an excellent piece comparing the three companies and provides an unbiased look at Nintendo's goals.
