| mrstickball said: 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. |
I agree with the first part - the brand isn't so important, as much as the actual game.
The bolded, not so much. It's the other way around - Nintendo isn't lucky for promoting them, they promoted those type of games because nobody else does. It's also true that they're not the only ones who can do it, but so far, there have been very few exceptions.
