Congratulations to the underdog
In a recent piece The Minnesota Daily (wonder where they're located at?) titled Why the Nintendo Wii is Wiining (clever), they take a look at console wars, current and those of the past. The article decidedly plays up Nintendo's role of being the underdog at the start of the new-gen console wars, showing how they came in with the Wii and many wrote them off.
What makes this article interesting is the author. A self-explained "jaded girl gamer sick of hackneyed ploys to entice the male gamer," her views on Nintendo are much like our own; she sees them innovating the industry where others have only left it stagnate. This is where Nintendo will excel, in its focus of equality in gaming between gender, and we're just glad we're not the only ones who noticed.
