There's been a lot of hype about the Nintendo Wii - how it's finding itself in sports clubs and retirement homes, how everyone from young kids to old grandmothers are buying Wii consoles. Some have even talked about Nintendo's "Blue Ocean" strategy breaking all the conventional rules in the video game market.

The success of the Wii isn't about a "new economy" in the video game market - it's really about excellent execution by Nintendo. The irony is that Microsoft demonstrated very clearly that it understands the economics of technology adoption; but it was out-maneuvered by Nintendo and the Wii.
