Uh, I'd start a new list that looks a little something like this:1) Games will be fun again2) New control scheme demands developer innovation3) Price point4) Appeal to casual/non-gamer5) Intellectual properties6) Amazing launch titles
#2, Developers will have to cater for the Wiimote, doesn't seem to me a reason that will make the Wii a success…That's actually the only weakness I see in the Wii, the possibility that every third-party developer will have to force-feed the Wiimote's functionality into their multi-platform games.
Numbers one and two are essentially the same thing. Also, I'd say remove number four, it isn't a feature of the console that would make it a success, it is just proof why it could succeed, I don't know if that is a "reason" for the Wii to succeed or not.
