| MikeB said: @ Avinash_Tyagi The same thing was said about the NES when it was first launched, how it was a toy, how gaming PCs could do stuff better and bigger Well the PC wasn't much to write home about back then (when the NES launched) with regard to gaming potential, but yes it was a toy likewise was the coleco vision I owned as a small kid playing Donkey Kong. I think a lot of people grew up with the NES. Don't look at this as being something bad, the PS2 today is a cheap toy as well. Games and gamers have matured a lot (average age of gamers). |
Yeah but there were "mature" gamers back then as well, didn't hurt the NES's sales, NES had deep games and so does Wii, because the NES had wide appeal it succeeded, it appealed to pretty much everyone just like Wii is doing now
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
