It's Nintendo, it doesn't need explanation why it's good.

better graphics card? gimmick

more powerful? gimmick

So life in general is a gimmick, or at least everything that involves profit or support of a business or person, which is just about every single business and most people with some level of self-centeredness.

hmm its kinda grey area like the DS i go... can swing both ways :P....

but seriously its what the developers do which will make or break it... i mean it is a gimick but the success of it will be determined by its uses and whether the games reach their full graphical and gameplay potential...

Look at the DS the touch screen has been used well in mini games and puzzle games and well some uses are just terrible... the wii is the same, people are gonna want FPS and well sword controlling and things but some developers are gonna make a quick buck with shoddy ideas e.g nhl with wiimote *shudders*
