There can only be a finite # of people interested in mario, etc...it will die eventually

 

Before I start thinking about where to respond to that silliness, you're joking, right?

 

It's just a simple statement of truth. There are only so many people who want wii's and can afford to buy one  (some people need to eat first). As wii sales get closer to this limiting factor, it will drop off. Simple as that. Of course wii repurchases andbreakages will cause a bit of fluctuation as well.

So you mean a saturation point?

Yes, all consoles have a saturation point.

However, the Wii's saturation number is far higher than the PS3 and 360s, I think you'll agree, since the casual market is far larger than the hardcore market. Or do you disagree?

Also, you said that only so many people are interested in Mario. Mario doesn't sell the Wii. Casual games of all sorts do. Wii Sports, Carnival Games, Wii Fit, ect. Mario sells to the bridge and core market, and some of the strictly casuals, but without another Mario game, at this point, the Wii would still easily dominate the HD consoles.

That's where I have my problem. I don't think you believe anything I just said. I think you believe that Mario Nintendo fanboys are buying the Wii, and one day they will all buy it, and it won't sell as well from that point on. Do you see how silly that is, even if you don't believe it?
