tough crowd, I must have struck a nerve.

Let's look at Software sales from last week (vgchartz)

360 731,887
Wii 422,430

That sorta speaks for itself...

Now, for the heck of it, lets subtract Wii Sports since it comes with it and lets do the same for Wii Play, because nobody is dropping $50 for that game, they are paying $50 for a WiiMote that comes with a free game.

Wii 274,545

What exactly was that I posted that was not correct? And what was it that I posted as fact? I am not gushing about the Wii, therefore I am not allowed my opinion based on my own observations?

Now lets use some common sense. The target for the 360, which I'm sure we can all agree on, is 15-40ish...does it not make sense that this target market would have a higher percentage of people with disposable income?

The only "bias" was my dislike of MP8 and Carnival Games.

 

 

 

 

Maybe you haven't passed grade 6 yet and don't realize that your opinion is not the same as fact. Please show me any source that can demonstrate that the Wii is selling to a dramatically younger demographic than the XBox 360 or PS3.

 


 Easy there Squrriel (or is is squirrel, it's been so long since 6th grade, I don't recall), nowhere did I say I was stating facts.  I am making observations, not making personal attacks, there is no need to be so defensive.

Observation #1:  In the past, Nintendo consoles and Nintendo games have catered to younger audiences

#2:  The current crop of Nintendo games (a majority) cater to a younger audience (or broader if you will)

#3:  Xbox/360 caters to an older audience

 #4:  Sports games (games purchased by 15-40 year olds) sell poorly on the Wii yet have been very succesful on the 360

#5:  "kiddie" games do not sell well on 360 (i.e. Viva Pinata) but do extremely well on the Wii (MP8, Pokemon, WarioWare, etc)

 One could come to a conclusion based on these observations (again, this isn't a fact) that the Wii sells to a younger demographic than the 360.

 

Take that as you will, but I am not defaming your precious Wii...maybe you can explain to me why Madden has sold 7 times more copies on the 360 than the Wii (could it be because Madden caters to an "older audience"?)  And why Mario Strikers Charged can outsell Madden 2 to 1 (could it possibly be because it is "kid friendly"?)
