As an aside, the overwhelming success of the Wii came as a huge shock to fans of the XBox and PlayStation systems. How could people be buying this silly little populist device that wasn't anywhere near as good for gaming?
They comforted themselves by decided that the Wii was just for 'casual' gamers, and 'real' gamers would still prefer the 'serious' systems.
Cross out gamers and write in readers and that is exactly the defensive response being seen to the success of the iPad.
