Sony - We lead, not follow, we don’t want senior citizen gamers, Wii is fad

[SaviorX]

Well, just when you thought some people would smarten up.............

The Wiimote is one of (if not THE) biggest factors of th Wii itself. The Wii is selling well because Nintendo had 3 big things:

Cheaper console ($250)
1st party titles
Wiimote

When people are deciding which version of Star Wars to buy, why is it they debate either 360 or Wii. Obviously they know what the graphics will be like for both, but thw Wiimote implementation is the deciding factor.

Why do you think RE4: Wii Edition is the definitive version? You could argue that it is because of the extras, but what about PES 2008? There are several games that just go right with the Wiimote alone and wouldn't be possible on anything else.

So when this guy decides to only consider Nintendo's methods of expansion as targeting senior citizens first and foremost, he comes off like a jerk. One of Nintendo's main points at E3 was the influx of women being introduced to gaming.

He DID NOT say the Wii was a fad though. He said following what people are doing to be successful is a fad, like coming out Durbys after you see how well Furbys sold.
