Those look really cool but I think it would be cooler if the analog stick wasn't neon green on all of them.

Good idea! Now why didn't Nintendo think of this? I remember seeing early concepts of the Wii from Nintendo in multiples of colors...how come there's only white ones on the market? lol

The yellow, orange and red ones dufus; they should have stuck with monochrome analog sticks or done colour matching ones of some sort. <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... >/blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

I can tell you exactly why Josh. The color white is more elegant looking, and more prestigious. Think about it - why do you think Macs are white? because marketing told them that white is a very elegant color, and those who can afford a higher end laptop would probably like it better. Same goes for Wii - it wasn't made for the hardcore gamer so much as it was the wealthy, and the upper middle class. This is also shown in its games - wii fit a great buy for anyone with money that thinks about their weight a lot, and can spend more money on their weight (just the same reason why diet foods are more expesive - people pay for them). Gamers don't need the motion to game well, however people that don't game nearly as much and as well do because they usually lack some of that hand-eye coordination (a different type of coordination than the type that is used for motion senseing) that the normal systems taps into. This can be seen by watching someone who is a very violent gamer on a system that doesn't sense motion.

It all has to do with who they target their products to, and what market research analysis tells them.
