I think people are getting the wrong idea out of my post.. i'll make some small post here to try and explain better.

If you're a parent, buying your 6 year old daughter a game console, what do you get? Wii and DS.
When hes 10, what do you get XB360. wii.

I would assume half of the people who own a ds are under 15.
25% around 8-14.
(Western world)

why? price, brand recognition, saturatio of shovelware.



PSP GTA:China town wars..? I'm not too sure, its too kiddy in its graphics to appeal to most GTA fans, but maybe.

http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=5165®ion=All is the highest selling portable core game.

 

EDIT: That is fine, I gamed when I was that age too, but let me tell you this, I never thought of which console to get based on the quality of the core games it had, even though I only played core games.. my parents just bought what was advertised more i guess.

i've read enough of your post. this is just ridiculous.

i am so sick and tired of hearing about how nintendo is only for babies and non-gamers..... my first console was a genesis. i have been gaming for most of my life.... i think i'm core enough. guess what my console of choice this gen was? wii.

you can call me whatever you want (ignorant, dumb fanboy, etc.), but your generalisations are just so ridiculous that they can no longer be ignored. it is true that wii and ds appeal more to casual gamers than core gamers, but there are tons of good core games on both systems. just look at all the great RPGs the ds has.

you think madworld would have done around 2 million on 360. tell me where your proof of this is. madworld didn't sell well because it was a niche game, too strange for the general populace to understand. chinatown wars is selling slow, but its still selling.... it will reach at least 1 mil. don't even get me started on RE4/UC and star wars: force unleashed.

in another earlier post you called the wii just an electronic toy. where the hell do you get off saying that? all video games are "just toys"! this goes beyond just an analysis and has become downright insulting.

/rant. sorry for going so far off track.
