Atari was a monopoly before Nintendo, and it vanished after the NES came out. Who says Wii is dissapointing? It appeals to soccer moms, and everyone else. These haters need to get their facts straight, the reality check is that they are tired of Nintendo being the best and want Sony or Microsoft to be on top. There is no such thing as a Nintendo fanboy, only those who arent afraid of their roots in a qualitative-not quantitavtive gaming experience.
