My Theory as to why the Wii is selling so well

Anyway, let me just throw out my opinion about your opinion.

There's no evidence to suggest only Nintendo fanboys are buying Wiis. There's actually PLENTY of evidence suggesting that NEW consumers are buying Wiis.

Didn't you read all the articles about handicapped, old people, middle-aged people, as well as plenty of regular videogame players buying the Wii?

It's clearly reaching out to new demographics. What isn't known is how long it will last...but there is NOTHING to suggest it will just suddenly die for any reason...

Besides, most Nintendo fanboys weren't that displeased with the GC as far as I know...and being displeased with a console is not going to get them to run out and immediately buy a Wii...that logic doesn't make sense.

2005 sucked something awful for the GameCube. No good games what-so-ever. Honestly, the GameCube's 2005 line-up was:

Resident Evil 4

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance

Battalion Wars

Geist

 

Out of all of those, only one is ****ing awesome, the second is good, and the other two are mediocre at best. I was only disappointed with the GameCube after 2004. But I first got one in 2003 so two years of the system sucking compared to one that was awesome.
