Ars Technica ran an article entitled "How the Wii was born." Nothing earth-shattering, but it’s a nice read with a bit more details about the design decisions and philosophy behind the hardware.

Kim Pallister also offers some doubts about the Wii pricepoints and launch strategy. I can’t entirely agree with the specifics, but I do with the overall idea that perhaps a bit more agressive pricing might help a lot. We’ll see in a few months.
