Irrelevant trying to make the point I guess. This one didn't listen to a word I said; so, think what you will. I bid your silly fanboyism and intense fear of whatever a "core gamer" is, adieu. |
Look at it another way ...
If you’re a gamer and not a blind fanboy odds are pretty good that you would buy a game for a system that is in your home if it is high enough quality and interesting to you. Even if you’re not interested in anything that is currently available for the system, you rarely play it, and the only person in the house that plays the system is your wife/girlfriend or sister/mother, if you’re a gamer you will play games that interest you that are on a system you own.
Now, with 60+ Million Wii systems sold the Wii is in the household of a lot of dedicated gamers and if a game came out and was high enough quality it would easily sell Millions of copies. This is one of the reasons why high quality Nintendo games sell so well. Odds are pretty good that a gamer would be interested in a high quality Mario game, and since they already own a Wii there is no reason not to buy it.
Multi-platform games (like Call of Duty and Starwars the Force Unleashed) have even sold more than a million copies based on the size of the market of people who only own a Wii or would prefer to play these games on the Wii. If there was a third party Core Wii game in an established franchise and genre that was as high of quality as a Mario Galaxy odds are pretty good that it would be a multi-million selling title; because it would attract attention from both people who only own a Wii and are interested in those titles, as well as core-gamers who own a Wii and other systems.
I don't see how anyone could call themself a gamer and claim they wouldn't play a quality game on a system that was avaialble in their house.
