| kowenicki said: i didnt think wii sports was free in Japan.... its bundled here - in japan it was always a purchase decison... so it is slightly different. I may have that wrong but it was my understanding. As far as "new casual" goes... maybe they are a tad too fickle... I wouldnt pander to the tween girls and mums too much. |
No you're correct it wasn't bundled, but I'm not talking about the software sales of it, but the fact that people who don't have a Wii are buying and purchasing WSR with it. Here in the West, what you will probably see is that WSR could have a high attach rate, IF indeed it is capable of increasing hardware.
...I agree, gamers in general are fickle, be it women or men, but they ALL have money to spend. All 3 companies have the same agenda, to get their product in as many hands as possible. PS3/XB360, choose to secure the "core" gamer first, where as Nintendo choose the "casual" gamer first...But make no mistake Nintendo is coming after the "core" audience as well. True "core" gamers, although a small percentage, don't have a problem with owning more then one console, thats what Nintendo is betting on I believe...
The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!
...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?
