| A203D said: Yeah i agree with a lot of what has been said, this isnt meant for us, its meant for kids and families, people who probabily dont know much about E3. but the key this is whether this is what those people want?? its going to be the same price as a brand new Wii and that already comes with a massive library, so we'll have to wait and see how the casual market take it. |
The key for companies like Microsoft is to MAKE them want it, whether they think they do or not. That's what sales and marketing is all about. To that end, I think they are off to a good start with pushing this slowly and consistently in the mainstream media over the past year. As to the Wii library, I'd argue that it's less important than the HD twins library, in that the casuals aren't buying a crapton of games. They are buying Mario Kart and New SMBWii and Wii Sports Resort and WiiFit and one or two other games over the course of three years - a shooter or Just Dance or sports or something, depending on taste. Yes there is a core Nintendo audience that eats up software, but that's not who's being targeted here.
I'm very interested to see how this all shakes out.
