As has been proven time and time again: the hardware rarely matters when
it comes to game consoles, it's the software.

The WII is killing ALL it's competition, this despite it's
"underpoweredness". One of the top games right now is the Guitar
Hero/Rock Band type game. Neither of these games needs much graphics
power to be fun.

Look at gameboy? There were much better competitors out there hardware
wise (i.e. Sega game gear) but to this day gameboy and it's derivatives
are selling like crazy. Why? The games are actually fun.

I have no doubt that X360/PS3 will eventually take the lead, but by the
time that has happened Nintendo will have made so much money with the
Wii it will boggle the mind.
