Journal Entry #7
In my opinion, the Nintendo Wii is just another craze that will soon die down. I say this because just like the walkman, Playstation, and the Ipod, the hype of the product raises the sales, but after a few months the need for one quickly diminishes. Yes, the Wii has new technology with its new cordless hands on motion feature, but what do you expect, times are changing. Very soon, other gaming systems will pick up this technology and it would come as nothing but hype for the new product that would be released. I myself have not yet tried the Nintendo Wii but I'm not falling head over heels just to get my hands on it. This is why I believe that this is just hype, a craze that would soon pass by. So in conclusion, I believe that the Nintendo Wii is a technological innovation with its new feature but it is still just hype that will eventuall die down.

You say that this is just hype and that it will die down, but it has been seven months since the release of the Wii, and it continuously tops sales charts. You also mention that very soon other consoles will have motion sensing features. What do you mean by this? Looking at Nintendo and Sony's past, we can see that it'll be years before they consider a new console. Sony might not even decide to use the controls at all.
