To think of all the people out there in 2006 - 2007 with little common sense that have been calling the Wii just a fad.....gimmick.....casual....just wow....now there is no denial anymore, it's officially the "fastest-selling console in the history of the industry."
Now how can you debate this ? Numbers are numbers, plain and simple.

It sold so well because its a gimmiky consoles that caught the interest (because it became a "cool" thing to own) of people that wouldn't look twice at a console normally

just because it sold well doesn't make it the best or do anything other than show there are a lot of idiots out there.

...also a lot of people bought one expecting something good for it to only end up collecting dust.

so yeah it is all those things you said.

Yeah, I own a Wii and rarely play it. Got it back in mid June of 2007 and all it really does is act as a blinding nightlight and collects dust. I bought it to play games that may not come to it, figuring that it would have the same third party support that the PS2 did but still waiting to see that happen. Not to say it doesn't get its own set of good games just its sad to see a good chunk of the good games only come from Nintendo. Oh well, I still own the other two HD Twins to keep me busy until something grabs my attention towards Nintendo.

It also has the fastest growing catalog of shovelware.

I'm still looking forward to Metroid Other M though.
