Ozymandias of MS has blogged up his thoughts on the Wii. He believes Nintendo has done quite well thus far, avoiding a 'power battle', using a beefed up Gamecube allows for lower development costs and they will most likely sell all 1 million North American units at $249. However, Ozymandias says there are three areas of risk for the Wii, first up is the potential that the controller may not be a success, secondly their online network may not be adequate and lastly the future - how will they deal with selling a 'spruced up Gamecube' against the third and fourth generation PS3 and Xbox 360 titles?
