For those of you that know me, you probably know that I am addicted to my Wii. Well, apparently so is the rest of the Design community as the Wii has just won the G-Mark (Good Design Award) — a coveted Japanese design award by the Japan Industrial Design Promotional Organization. The annual selection included over 1000 products this year. Out of that group a separate 15 were given a “Best 15″ designation, among which the Wii was also included.
Nintendo, now the #2 company in Japan behind Toyota (even besting giants Honda and Sony) continues to look more and more like the Apple of the gaming world, both design-wise and rabid fanboy-ism.
Include me in that group as well.
