Wiimote Football: A TV Manufacturer’s Wet Dream

The Wiimote is well known for it’s ability to smash right through a flat screen TV, so why not add some extra weight to it and make it even harder to firmly grasp? This is enough to make any TV manufacturer go ga ga. I’ll bet that the guys over at intel and AMD wish that they could find a product that had the same effect on desktop computers so that they could boost their sales.

All of this “tv destroyed by remote” news makes me wonder: Did Nintendo buy stock in tv producing companies before creating the Wii? I could see them at the board meeting now: “sure, we’re going to lose about fifty bucks on every Wii we sell, but wait till you see what this thing does to our shares in Samsung!”. Crafty bastards!
