Yay Nintendo!

Nintendo is dominating sales on the Wii and DS. Older games, like Mario Kart DS and Wii Play are still selling strong. It is a little disappointing to note that all of the popular Nintendo games seem to be these sort of multiplayer, non-story games. Meaning that games like Mario Galaxy and Zelda are not as popular anymore, at least among Nintendo users. In fact, most games on the list are not story-heavy. I just think this is weird because most of my favorite games are all story-based, and I feel like they were the standard in the past. Perhaps this shift can be attributed to the internet for shortening our attention spans and giving us instant gratification.
