Of course most of the core Wii owners are Nintendo fans, if not you should help me find out why majority of games that aren't from known Nintendo franchises never manage to become big hits. Why is that? Why can more traditional games become big hits on the other 2 platforms, while they struggle on the Wii despite having a bigger userbase? Why can't even new core IP's from Nintendo become successful? Because most of the Wii owners aren't the typical core gamer, I'd say that less than half care at all for traditional games, while a big chunk of those who care are Nintendo loyalists. I'm one of them, I've mostly bought 1st party games in the GC, N64 and Wii era and there's a lot of people like me out there. I firmly stand by my assertion that most of the Wii owners don't care for these kind of games, and then those who care might have bought the Wii for the 1st party offerings. So the remaining part is the one that ends up buying most of the core games, which sadly get never advertised therefore limiting sales. Core HD owners seem to be the ones who visit the gaming sites and buy game magazines more regularly, since the games are very frontloaded, meaning most of the people knew about them beforehand. There's no big first week successes on the Wii save for the 1st party games, meaning majority of core gamers are Nintendo followers. You can try to refute this on more than 1 line, would be appreciated. |
people will try to tell you different, but you're 100% right sir.
