I know far more girls / women that would rather play Wii Sports (mainly bowling) and Mario Kart. I also know there are a ton of girls/women that love Animal Crossing. Microsoft has nothing to counter Mario Kart , Wii Sports , or Animal Crossing (might be a Sims on 360 but not too sure, even if that is so Animal Crossing is a little different). It will be at least 1-3 years before they even have something to counter those games which the generation would be pretty much over. |
I don't think it's that women would rather play Wii Sports, or Mario Kart.
It's more of the fact that women would rather play bowling, or a kart racing game, regardless of who's branded it. Look at Carnival Games and EA Sports Active, as well as The Sims.
It's not the game - Animal Crossing, Sims, Mario Kart, Wii Sports, Wii Fit, but the activities they are.
Nintendo has been lucky to be the ones to majorly promote such games, and has been rewarded richly. However, I don't think that means that they are the only one that can do it, just the ones that do it right very often for their user base.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
