Best Gadget of… 2006?
The Nintendo Wii launched in 2006. Today, at the gateway to 2008, it is still in short supply.
Consider that consumers get bored with devices really quickly. Consider that people are always looking for the next thing. Now consider a little statistical anecdote:
DVICE is asking readers to vote for “the best gadget of 2007″, as part of a sweepstakes. What appears on that list? Wii — a 2006 product. Which device (at the time of this writing) had the most votes for coolest? Wii — outscoring even the iPhone.
It’s a stunning testament to the resonance of the product.
