From the article:
In videogaming, Nintendo was losing its dominance to Sony and Microsoft, which were investing heavily in more powerful consoles and better graphics. As their systems sky-rocketed in price, Nintendo introduced its relatively inexpensive, but profitable, Wii and made it far easier for people of all ages to play videogames. Its motion-detecting technology translates physical actions–like swinging a golf club–into virtual actions.
The company shared the honors with the likes of Netflix, Google, YouTube, and the iPod to name a few.
UPDATE: The article is five months old. Whoops! Â
Haha. The article being so old is why I didn't include it.
A good question to ask is why none of the game journalists spoke of it (especially for their daily blog fests). Do they just not read Forbes or what?
oldie but goodie- nothing like a little industry disruption to keep things fresh!
