I don't think it's fair to call the Wii a gimmick at all, Nintendo have said from the get-go that their biggest concern was bringing people a fresh and original gaming experience, which is precisely what they've done. XBox and PS3 are quite happy to tow the line with flashy titles because they know that's what people will buy - Nintendo took a risk with the Wii and it payed off. I'm not dissing XBox or PS3 for a second - they have a much wider range of games which is what has let Nintendo down in recent years - the Gamecube being a prime example. Those consoles are good at what they do. Nintendo has made a pretty damn good effort at revolutionising the way we play computer games - for which they should be applauded and I don't think you can call that a gimmick - it's innovation.
