I'm going to repost what I said in the article comments:



Who the hell is buying this thing? All my friends, who all game to various extents haven't touched one since brawl came out. No one in my whole extended family, friends of friends, or even minor acquaintances don't but it. So who is? I know we talk about casuals and how wii sells to grandmas and children, but I always figured it was more as much a joke as it was true. But is there really this vast audience of Grandmas and soccer moms eating this up? How does a console with such little rapport with the gaming audience sell so well?

Before anyone asks, I'm not mad, the wiis hardware success means little to me. I just can't wrap my head around it.

I do I'm sorry all your friends haven't been interested in any of the great games since brawl, but that is probably because they refuse to even be remotely interested not because there are no good games.

Now answer this question. Who the hell buys a X360 or PS3. I know 0 people personally (other than myself) who have either.

Well it may just be that these games don't appeal to them. They may be great or bad but it's all subjective. The quality of a game, other than production values can often be widely agreed one, but it'll still be opinion. For instance, I have a wii, but I haven't had it plugged into my tv for more than a year.

I stopped playing both resident evil 4 and super mario galaxy because they didn't feel as fun or great as i was expecting them too.. and i'm usually one who completes games when I start them. Ofcourse this is just my opinion and is not a representive of anyone elses.

Anyways, regardles, on topic. Sales really show the holliday period. The ps3 is doing the same as the 360 last year. I can't believe how many americans buy wii's though :p well I can.. it's still a huge number though.
