YEP... VERY VERY GLOOMY. If the Wii didnt disrupt the game industry we could see video game crash part 2 right now. Just look at the charts. Except for MW2 no games on the top 10 that sold in a million this month. And the top 6 was 300,000 ish. What more in top 7-10 or in the top 20? Considering that estimately we have 200 million gamers so far compared to 60 million gamers during the NES and SNES era. You cant cater (IF the 2 HD consoles sold 60 million each) 60 million userbase compared to 200 million gamers we have today.



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
