@alex your thinking to hard about it, it like how the iPad revolutionized touch screen gaming
Opposed to thinking about it less and not being right? I'm content with my choice.
There's just mass confusion over what being 'revolutionary' actually means. According to you all, everything is revolutionary in some way. The 360, PS3, Wii, previous consoles, handhelds, everything. That's just an awful interpretation of what 'revolutionary' technology actually is.
Very few advances in technology are revolutionary and absolutely change what came before them. The internet was revolutionary. The technology used to send satellites into space was revolutionary. The Wii using motion controls that were previously better on other platforms? Not revolutionary. >.>
This entire discussion is so ridiculous I almost can't believe I'm having it.
You don't understand what a revolution is. Inventing something isn't a revolution. That's a patent sitting on a desk. Implementing something creatively on a massive scale is the revolution. Hundreds of motion games from fitness to singing to party to adventure. Millions of people buying a console to do this easily and instantly in groups. This was a revolUtion. Can't believe I have to explain it....
"Revolution: A changeover in use or preference especially in technology" I believe that would make wii a revolution
How? There are more people playing games on platforms other than the Wii. How has there been a 'changeover in use' or 'preference'?
A revolution was the mobile phone. Completely changed the way the telephone was used and revolutionized the industry. What specifically has the Wii done?
It WAS a revolution. It changed the gaming world forever, for better or for worse, and because of it, gaming has been brought to a wider audience than ever before.

It was a revolution in that it went against the grain, did something different than the competitors' systems (at first) and changed the game industry like it hadn't been in a long time. I'm not saying they invented motion control. Apple didn't invent the tablet computer or the MP3 player. They just changed them, made them better and more successful. Could you take a look at the game industry and say that the Wii had no effect on it?

Right, because you know for a fact none of those people played games on computers, phones, other consoles, handhelds, etc.
You really think a large portion of the Wii's consumer base had not already been exposed to video games in one form or another?
No

Yes. Because I am one of those people. And I know many others for whom that is true as well. Almost everyone I know (personally) who has a Wii would say that it was their first console.
