Default Why the Wii sells so well?

Wii sales have been off the chart. I walked into Best Buy the other day, saw a Wii sitting next to 360 Elites & PS3s. Before I left the store, the Wii had been sold and all the rest were still sitting there. What do you guys think are some of the reasons for the Wii's immense success?

People just want to wave wiimotes and throw them into their TV screens. Only reason the thing sells is because of that remote and the motion detecting capability.

Maybe they're buying it so they can smash it up and use it as a trampoline.
Or maybe thats just me........

Everyone wants to try the new innovation of the Wii mote and wants the classics that are supposed to be on nintendos online service. But tis mainly the new innovation nintendo gives to gaming.

Dude it all became clear when my friend last night said his mom just randomly bought a wii for the family. It also became clear that I must oppose any console where mothers just "pick one up"

What is happening to this world??
