| mhsillen said: I own a Wii and I never play it, XBox 360 and PC (even 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, as will Nintendo fans. 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 sales as past Nintendo customers either went elsewhere (Playstation, XBox, PC) or simply didnt participate in later generations. This is such a condescending post in so many ways, and so wrong. I have been gaming since 1986 when I bought an NES. I am 48 years old. I like RPG's and FPS and adventure and sports games. I have a Wii and ps2 and gamecube games. If you don't like the wii then sell the damn thing. As for the wii being just for casuals and young ones: I am not casual or young but I actually enjoy playing my wii.
As for the nes being a fad that is such a brainless comment considering it saved the industry so that the systems today can enjoy success. I I can't type any more this is such a brainless thread. |
Calling this a "brainless thread" is insulting to the creator, me. I don't think you meant to insult me so please choose your words carefully.
