| ultraslick said: You will get a lot of answers, but the main one is because there is really only one console out there for kids 12 and under right now... the wii! There are a ton of young gamers and the hd consoles might be a lot to handle for what could in many cases be their very first video game console. We grew up with games, so the choice is simple.... play the best. But to a much larger audience the choice becomes... play what you can, play what doesn't use 2 analog sticks (this throws a lot of new comers off), and play what your parents will buy you for Christmas. These people dont own cars, they cant even get into a PG-13 movie in many cases. These are the consumers of the Nintendo wii. |
Impossible. The person in question seems he doesn't own a single Nintendo console. Tons of games on Nintendo consoles (made by Nintendo or not) are considered to be some of the best ever, so there goes that theory. In fact, if he never had an NES --> GC, there's no excuse for avoiding the Wii, since it plays games from all its old generations.
OP: Your hardcore gamer license is revoked!
Seriously though, the quality of games is all preference. This "Wii is for kids" meme is silly. Have you considered graphics aren't that important to most people? Wii owners can argue the HD consoles are stuck with "last-gen" controls. What do you think of the DS against the PSP, I wonder?
Many users on this site are fans of the Wii (and no, they aren't 7 years old). Browse their games collections, and look into the games if you're so curious.
