fool.com — In his book The Innovator's Solution, Christensen defines disruptive innovations as those that aren't improvements on existing products, but which compensate by being easier and more convenient for more people. I don't know whether Nintendo execs read Christensen's book, but their new Wii console seems a classic example of disruptive technology.

I hate to break this to you but everyone but you is on Digg 24/7. What else explains our quickness to ridicule dupes and our complete lack of objective opinions? We have no life.........

One HUGE mistake in the article: Sony didn't JUST patent their controller; they've had the patent for a motion sensing controller since: 04-13-1999!!!!<a class="user" href="http://v3.espacenet.com/textdoc?DB=EPODOC&IDX=JP11099284&F=0">http://v3.espacenet.com/textdoc?DB=EPODOC&IDX=JP11099284&F=0</a>

I don't know if you covered these. But I thought I'd chime in with my wish list:I want a good star wars game where I can wield a lightsaber and the force in combat.I want a good flight sim or fighter pilot game using the wii mote and nunchuck for throttle and control (Pilotwings, X-Wing vs Tie Fighter, or perhaps Afterburner?)

It's not fanboyism to actually want a new and different approach to gaming, as opposed to other companies shoving WW2 shooters, sports games, and urban type games down our throats.
