I was <a href="http://www.disambiguity.com/wii-have-a-problem-but-its-your-fault// rel="nofollow">saying this earlier</a> - I agree that this is a great case for contextual research. Nintendo claim that they *did* do testing, but that they didn't expect people to play so hard with the Wii. Well... if they were testing in a lab, of course not! People behave themselves when they're in a lab and people are watching them through mirrors. If they'd have done some testing in the context of use (that is, in people's homes, and there are lots of ways they could have done this), they would never have been surprised by this behaviour and could have designed to account for it."

Create a website dedicated to some wrist strap ? I'm out of words. In Lithuania they say "Only in America". I guess stupidity has no limits. Create a website dedicated to some wrist strap ?
