Casual games = Soulless games. Wii is not for me.

It's not a good idea to say that the console with the youngest age demographic is not your cup of tea. You're just asking for some hate.

 

*facepalm*  How many times is this going to be proven wrong before people finally stop saying it <_<

 

 There's many an old school gamer that has been tempted back into gaming by the Virtual Console and the change in style. I'm one of them. Many of my pals provide further anecdotal evidence. I got bored of gaming during the PS2 era. I only bought about 7 games for it and two of those were Singstar and a Dance Mat game. I'm glad I came back.

 

Yeah there's a lot of statistical evidence that contradicts a lot of fanboy "Wii is for kids" statements, the average age was 29 a couple years back, now that things like Wii Fit has released and more VC games like you've said, it's likely higher now.  But fanboys are the loudest and most obnoxious people on the internet so it's commonly believed that "no one plays their Wii" and "Wii is for kids" despite the actual proof being the contrary.

If you went by stats:

Age:

Youngest = 360

Oldest = Wii

Most played

Most = Wii

(never found stats on the least)

But again if fanboys used facts and logic they wouldn't be fanboys :)

 

Gotta love the fanboys Max. They make forums fun. They lie, they react to bait, they enter into childish denial and all the other things that make the internet so uncivilised. If you spoke to them face-to-face they would soon drop the facade.

 

 

Gotta a link? Since I have heard many times people don't play Wii much.

 

I don't have a link as I didn't post the factual comment. However, do you have a link that shows people don't play their Wiis? I've heard a lot of things many times, but this doesn't make them true. You can look up average times played on the Nintendo Channel on the Wii. Many games have been played over 20 hours on average. This coming from a sample of 375,000 people that have signed up to the channel.

Zelda average= 43 hours 45 Mins
Brawl= 40hrs58
Fire Emblem=38hr36
Wii Sports=35hr49
Kart=32hr54
Galaxy=26hr27
Resi4=23hr37

There's quite a few more figures in this months ONM.

 

 

One of the newer Nielsen studies I'd have to look it up, or you could if you so desired, but Nielsen studies things like that, also NPD study on which gaming device is used online the most placed PC at first like always, 360 in second, and Wii in third.
