| ManusJustus said: I own a Wii and I never play it, XBox 360 or PC (and even a PS3 if I owned one) are just much more appealing to my gaming tastes. It is "fun" for casual gamers and a younger audience. Dont expect Nintendo to have the same success with a similar console in the future. Many "casual gamers" I know who bought a Wii lose interest with it over time, so they wont rush out and pick up a Wii 2 for themselves next generation. The younger audience will always be there, though. I like to compare the original Nintendo with Wii, it was a huge fad sucess when the gaming industry was floundering, but Super Nintendo, N64, and Gamecube showed a continued decline in Nintendo sales as past Nintendo customers either went elsewhere (Playstation, XBox, PC) or simply didnt participate in later generations. |
Stop making blanket statements with no proof to back them up. I know several people my age and older who enjoy the Wii who are not "casual" gamers, but have been playing PC and console games since their conception. Just because YOU don't get enjoyment out of it, doesn't mean others regardless of age do not. YOUR age has nothing to do with whether I or fellow veteran gamers enjoy the Wii. Nintendo's core following, which still accounts for a major portion of their customers were not born yesterday as so many would like to imply.
