| DMeisterJ said: Some very valid points made in this thread but we're forgetting one thing the software. If the Wii becomes the DVD of this decade, the most people that are going to have bought it will be the "mainstream", in other words, the people not buying it to play Zelda, Smash Bros., No More Heroes, Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, or any remotely "hardcore" game. They will be the ones buying Wii Sports (Not in America) Wii Play, Wii Fit, and many of the Wii-branded casual games. Not that that's bad for Nintendo, but it is bad for Wii Owners when devs catch on to make casual games and the hardcore games go to the PS3 or 360 or nowhere because Nintendo takes them out of business. Then we're stuck playing Wii Sports until our eyes fall out. |
Go to a bookstore and tell me if there is only one genre of books on the shelf
