| coolguy said: Console power dont allways wins the console war. what wins the console war is the console that launched frist and which it has more games and is the cheaper one also.. iam sure if the PS3 launched a year before the 360 it would be wining the war between sony and ms. i dont even count the wii because its suer base is for young teens and kids |
Problem with that line of thinking is a lot of 20-40 year olds own a Wii.
It's a pop culture phenomenon, it's not on the Oscars, and Colbert Report, and Saturday Night Live because it appeals to kids.
If kids bought that many Nintendo machines, why did the GameCube not sell 50 million in 2 years? Adults are driving Nintendo's growth.
The Wii is the trendy game machine to own if you're in your late 20s and 30s, not the PS3 or 360. You know people who are older but have an actual life and can't spend 50+ hours playing one game or are tired of FPS no.20309 and want something more tied to the joy they first felt playing games on the NES and Atari when gaming wasn't so pretentious and was far more accessible to everyone.
Wii Fit and Sports are also very popular with women, especially college aged women.
