    That statement is pretty accurate like it or not. That said, the Wii is the only hardware that is making money on the actual console, something that Nintendo will hopefully use to release a system killer in the next round. I'd sell my wii, but I still fire it up every few months to play some old games.

    Every wii title that has come out has ended for me in disappointment.
