1. Anyone who breaks ANYTHING with there wiimote is a dumbass and shouldn't even be allowed ANYWHERE near a bottle of orange juice let alone a Wii. It ain't that hard to keep grip, just don't rely on the strap: problem solved. If your not an idiot, the controller won't go flying into your tube.

2. Nintendo has been in gaming for - what? - 20 Years? And around in entertainment for like -  25, maybe 30 years? They aren't stupid enough to use patent technology. If I am not mistaken the N64 (as mentioned in the article) DID feature a strikingly similar trigger button to that of Wii and looking at dates - Nintendo had patent earlier. So either Interlink is infringing on Nintendo (which I doubt) or the triggers are very similar in design (but not the same)

Ugh. It's really not hard to keep the Wiimote in your hand. Just don't be stupid.

Thing is people are copying what happens in commercials.

I'm not reading that article cause I'm assuming it's about people getting so into the game that they accidently throw the Wiimote into the tv and they splode...

I find that hilarious...

What's even funnier is that those are the people that bought their Wii on eBay for over the asking price, like 1000 bucks...

Actually the article is on copyright infringement, I was just putting the strap thing in there as a bonus rant.

People buy new consoles just for selling on eBay.

How the heck do you brake something with a remote? Another reason why I think 90% of all people are retards (not in the mentally challenged way).
