From today's Marketplace Midday Report:

"The Wii is Nintendo's new interactive game console -- you play by swinging a
controller that's strapped around your wrist. Turns out those straps
aren't that sturdy, and the company is recalling 3.2 million units only
weeks after
its debut."

Penny Arcade had some theories about that. (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/11/29)

yeah. read an article just yesterday about how the straps are breaking because players are getting too "enthusiastic", and when the wrist band breaks they're loosing the control and breaking things... up to and including their television sets.

That's a new low in product shodiness. It breaks when you're having too much fun.

Apparently they've never watched anyone play a video game with any other type of controller. I know I'm not the only one who literally ducks virtual sword blows, or leans into turns.
