Of course, the first and only Nintendo handheld that I ever bought was the NES Special Edition GBA SP, and I was playing games a long time before Nintendo ever put out the NES (On Atari 2600, Colecovision, an IBM PC Jr. and various Tandy IBM clones that I bought over the years). But much like the Wii, the Gameboy as it existed prior to the GBA never seemed to be worth my time. I could see myself being more likely to buy a DS than a Wii but only because of the Square Enix games on there. I certainly would not consider Nintendogs to be something that would encourage me to buy the system except for the fact that Carrie Underwood looks nice in the commercial. The only Nintendo console I've ever truely liked was the SNES and again that was because of Zelda, Metroid, and the Square games. Something like Wii Sports would only hold my attention for a few moments much as Pong did back in the day before I wanted to move on to something much more intellectually satisfying like a good book, movie, or deeper type of game like a very immersive rpg like Fallout 3. |
Well, the only thing I have to say is that you should try to understand the mentality of the typical consumer before making sales predictions. A lot of "gamers" have failed to understand that the masses have bought their console of choice last gen, the PS2, for different reasons as they do.
