| RolStoppable said: @SmoothCriminal You forgot about the most important reason for the Wii's success: The games. Hype doesn't last forever, it has to be backed up by something with substance and the continued high sales of Nintendo games are proof of that. The drop in hardware sales in 2009 due to a weak release schedule (starting in the latter half of 2008) and the resurgence at the end of the year due to killer apps make it clear that compelling software is a very big factor (I would say the most important) of the Wii's success. |
Agreed. I'm just talking from a purely casual gamer perspective. They buy Wiis because they look appealing. This only accounts for a portion of the Wiis sales, but a big portion nonetheless. But, as a general rule (as my famous saying goes, "rules always have exceptions"), I agree with you.
