On the topic of Wii staying No.1 well alot can happen in 5-6years i will be in Uni by then and that seems ages away so in that time PS3 could take the lead,the X360 could take the lead,the Wii might become a fad and start selling sub-GC numbers we just dont know. |
No, his points were not good. My statement was clearly a facetious jab at the suggestion that the Wii is a fad. I wasn't trying to actually compare the DS to the 360. Look at the statement to which I responded.
He makes a bunch of ridiculous statements -- "I know a few people who think the Wii is a fad therefore..". Therefore nothing. You don't make statements about millions based on tens, especially based on a distribution like that. It is foolish and it doesn't deserve a response. Other parts of his logic were just erroneous: more HDTVs are being sold and those people will want HD consoles.
Nelson surveys showed that the MAJORITY of 360 owners don't even know it's HD capable. The numbers will be far worse for those who have not yet bought a 360. This suggests that HD is a secondary issue in the market right now. This is why BD and HD-DVDs haven't managed to capture even a tiny fraction of the market despite very aggressive marketing.
I will make my own list, just as good as his, also stating why the Wii is a fad:
(1) Grape jelly is a lot better than strawberry jelly. Every single one of my friends agrees, and two of them are even allergic to strawberry jelly. As a joke, I gave one of them a PB&J sandwich with strawberry jelly and she almost died. FACT: no one outside of senior citizens and babies like strawberry jelly, and most of them are dieing.
(2) I can only enjoy blankets while awake. When I'm sleeping, I hate blankets. Why is that?
(3) A lot of computers have been selling, so no one will want a 360 because those games are already available on the PC (lol)
(4) More and more people in the world are getting access to electricity and want to buy electric cars to take advantage of their new electricity.
