Im posting here again because Im right all along. This is what you get when you have different opinion from the collective. even you're right you cant brag about it especially with the price cut. The Wii takes momentum and maintain its sales without the help of price cut. It maintain its sales by NSMB Wii and WSR. And as for the topic, the ghost of 2006 was still around the core gamers and still haunting them till today.
Its like discussing with a brick wall. Anyone still dont get it? The wii was successful is to why facebook games are successful. We're on a niche market, and the demographics these "core games" are catered to 13-21 year old males. NO EXCEPTIONS. Just goto youtube commentary vid on COD 4 and MW2 and listen to their voice. Most of them are teens. One example was shokio. He is 16 years old samuelthegeek was also on his teen
If WSR and Wii Sports and other "casual games" are successful was because its popular. Lets just accept it, core gamers are niche audience. After adulthood and parenting and girls we never care for these games anymore. Even COD MW2. It will be just a memory back in our head just like Doom
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
E3 2010- Tape runs out
