It's a total package Easy Cheap In the News (mostly positive) Fun Online (not great, but free and potential) Nostalgia (Parents today, are the gamers who played all those NES games) Stylish Small (BIG factor in japan) Relative of the DS. New Innovative Remember, it's not that it is easier than any other system... it that people perceive it as easier. It's not that it is chea... It's not that innov... etc. etc. etc. |
Well put... that was my point from the beginning. Not one demographic, not one individual strong point selling the wii to dominance, but the huge amount of different factors. The fact that the system appeals to hardcore (metroid, mario, resident evil, etc) and casual (wii sports, mario party, etc) as well as all age demographics with new games and old games. There is also the fact that many games will (I think) be able to utilize the classic or gamecube controller, making them accessable no matter what your control preference is.
It's not any one factor, but the massive amount of positive factors the Wii has going for it that make it very hard for either of the other consoles to beat it.
