| MrMafoo said: Adding the Wii into the mix of the “Console War” equation is misleading at best. I know well over a dozen people who own a Wii, and every one of them has either a 360 or a PS3 as well. I do not know a single person with a Wii who does not have another console of this Generation. Besides, the only reason why anyone should care if a console sells well, is that games continue to be made for it. If the gaming industry has grown to the point where the 360, Wii, and PS3 can all be successful this generation, then what console sells the most is irrelevant. |
I know 5 people who have Wii's and no other console, and 2 that have Wii's and nothing else. This is why ancetdotal evidence is stupid.
It's even more stupid when you consider the fact that you are more likely to assosiate with people who are like you, so not only is their possible bias from a small sample, there is a selection bias in the sample.
For another example, I know only two people with PS3s. They both have a Wii as well and that's it. Also a 360. Yet i know people with just 360's and just wii's. So by that sample, hey guess what, apparently nobody owns a Ps3 unless they own other systems.
Also most PS3 owners must use their PS3's more for PS2 games and movies than regular games!
So yeah, bad thought on that one.
