Is the Wii a fad? It’s been a rather a hot topic of debate ever since the console first gained mainstream popularity, but after extensive periods of research and analysis, DFC analyst David Cole has determined that the Wii does not appear to be a fad. In fact, Cole reckons the Wii may just be on its way to become one of the best-selling home consoles of all time. Blasphemy!

The Wii does not appear to be a fad and it has the chance to be one of the best selling systems of all-time.

Now that’s what we call hardcore research. Bravo, Cole.
